Lightbrite: do you even know who R’ Boruch Ber is and when he lived? While this quote may not be appropriate in today’s circumstances (although it was quoted by the Morah Dasra of my shul) take into account when and where it was said. He was the Rosh Yeshiva of Kaminetz and was inspiring HIS talmidim for Simchas Torah. It could very well be that there were no elderly people, invalids, or others at that place and time. Stop trying to put modern day political correctness onto what are gedolim said and did 100 years ago.
