A little random but speaking of waterfountains…. Mrs. Jackie Bitton says a story about a guy in yeshiva where the students had a culture that when a friend was leaning over the waterfountain they would slap them on the back causing them to spit it all out. One day this guy is walking by and eveyone looks pretty similar from the back in white shirts and he slapped a guy on the back and he screams out in pain and the bochur realizes it was the Rosh Yeshiva! He is waiting for a mussar speech or suspension and felt soooo bad especially since the rebbi had back issues as it was. The Rosh Yeshivah didnt budge and just said, “what is the bochur waiting for. This position is very painful for me but i will stay like this till the bochur is in his classroom.”

The rosh yeshiva never knew who it was untill many years later when he couldnt bear the guilt and came back to yeshivah to tell him.

I guess its a raaya….
