streekgeek: thanks for letting us know about the hespeidim in lakewood! I judged too quickly and shouldnt have!
adam12: i dont know why or how, but the news of the petirah of R’ Elyashiv spread amongst our community and there was a sadness in the air.
apashutayid: I was not parroting, but I will acknowledge that i did judge hastily. I was saddened to hear about the petirah and even more so that i didnt know about it sooner.
wallflower: I dont know why you had to bring up this whole idea of ashkenazim having some sort of ‘reverse affirmative action’. A yid is a yid is a yid. True, the sephardim have different minhagim than ashkenazim, but a tzaddik is a tzaddik is a tzaddik and it hurts to lose one of the last gedolim.
ferd: please tone down your posts! They seem to be full of animosity and they shouldnt be. You and I have judged to quickly and should be humbled by the amount of yeshivos and bais yaakov’s that have had hespedim and said tehillim for R’ Ovadia.
I apologize to anyone that was hurt by my comment on the previous page. I judged too quickly. Mi K’amcha Yisrael?!
