    3. The Brisker Rav was niftar before 1967 and never said an opinion about areas captured in the six day war.

      Don't confuse Brisk and Satmar.

      There is nothing "chodosh" about the old city.

  2. If your son lost his hat, its likely at one of the seforim stores where he left it when he bought a new yarmulka.

  3. Is it actually worth it to miss out on shul on Yom Kippur and Sukkos, and even the days in between, just to be in Uman on Rosh Hashanah? Very twisted reasoning! (Or will they just ignore the quarantine requirements??)

  5. The uptick in recent covid-19 numbers should worry everyone in lakewood! Not the other narishkeiten like the diaspora yeshiva being in disputed territory or the uman pilgrims staying quarantined for Yom Kippur and Sukkos!

    1. Every Muntig un Donershtig they come out with new numbers, and then revise them down.

      Did you hear about the boy who cried wolf?

    2. These are usually asymptomatic cases that were just tested (mostly being discovered in bochurim who are mandated to test prior to entering yeshiva , especially in other countries). I'm actually pleasantly surprised the numbers are not higher.

  7. Jews used to go to kever David during the 19 years the Arabs had the Old City. It was closest place to Har haBayit.
    There are other major halachic problems with learning there.

    2. Next time you say DMV closed, say what time it closed.
