“There have been many questions and speculations about the change from a three-hour to a two-hour Church schedule,” Menachem Menashe said at the beginning of Sunday School the first week after the change was announced.

The real purpose is to increase the time we spend with our families. Or rather,” he added hastily, “the time that those of you who live with families spend with your families. But rest assured: the time you spend with your family will benefit me as well. The family, as we all know, is the fundamentalist unit of society.”
