“i (a girl, yes?) walked through back alleys to get to school to avoid the pritzus. it was a bissel crazy.”
no affence but alleys? in la? a girl alone? that IS a bissel crazy. why not walk on the main street and just not look at the billboards?
“but as laguy said, go in with your eyes WIDE WIDE open.”
i don’t mean it as a pun, but you really, with your eyes closed (pritzus).
i’d agree with laguy, emotion613, and mischeifmaker,
pritzus CAN be a problem. I know a lot of the men walk through the alleys, the bochurim also do because even if it’s not a billboard, the weather is always nice and people practically look for opportunities to dress pritzusdik (goyim obviously) But i’ve been to NY many times, theres pritzus there too! I have to admit it was a real culture shock straight from seminary, in E”Y (where i NEVER walked on the pritzus streets, it hurt me too much) (actually one time , late at night we were a little lost.. . but you get the point.)
