You don’t appreciate the kedusha and tehara of the Gerrer Chassidim, Ok I understand you. You know why?
Once a Mizrachi came to the previous Gerrer Rebbe the Pnei Menachem Zt”l, and asked him why Ger needs to be so restrictive in it’s ways (Bochurim didn’t go into groceries etc.), I go to Tel Aviv all the time, he said, and I don’t feel anything when I see women.
The Pnei Menachem answered him:
If you go to the desert and you see Bedouins walking barefoot on the sand and rocks, and it doesn’t even bother them, do you perhaps think, why is it that I need to wear shoes and even with shoes, if a small pebble gets into my shoes it greatly disturbs me, and here they are walking around like this, as if nothing happened?
The answer is, obviously it doesn’t hurt them because walk like that so often that they are insensitive to the dirt and pain. So is true in our case, said the Rebbe, our chassidim are so clean and eidel that every little think does bother them, but doesn’t this make you a Bedoiun.!?!?!
To all my Bedoin freinds in the Coffe Room… ?????
