Reply To: Collecting On Purim in a Limousine

oomis: do you have anything nice to say about yeshiva bochurim? whether it comes to drinking or collecting you think they are just taking advantage of purim. bochurim collect hundreds of thousands of dollars every yr for tzedaka if not millions. that doesnt mean they need a limo because thats wasting tzedaka money but if they havesome ‘good stuff’ on purim and their only 17, so what. their doing a huge mitzva by collecting amd singing at ppl’s homes and sometimes a little alcohol in their system helps the dancing and overall happiness. that doesnt mean i think its ok for them to get plastered and throw up everywhere but MOST bochurim do not do this. they get a little high and they dont throw up everywhere. you said you live next to a yeshiva. so out of lets say 400 bochurim 20 or 30 are hanging outside throwing up on your lawn and those bochurim are the only ones you see. you dont see the other 350 or so dancing leibidig inside.
