so I’ll look past the personal thrust of your responses to me”
I am sorry Squeak, if you feel that I am somehow personally admonishing you in some way (or whatever word fits your reaction to what I wrote). I am NOT attacking you in any way. I disagree with your opinion that boys learning all day are the ELITE of Yiddishkeit, unless that is NOT your opinion, but merely your own observation that there ARE people who actually feel this way, in which case it is they with whom I strongly disagree. A boy who can learn AND earn a living, is more elite in my estimation. That’s all. But if I hurt your feelings in some unintended manner, I am sorry.
