Now that most of the people are traveling en mass [excluding one or two covid phobic people who shall remain nameless], I am sure everyone has a funny story or two that occured while traveling.
Here is one of mine to get started started:
We had gone to one of the national parks in the south and put together a minyan and borrowed a sefer torah over shabbos from a nearby Chabad, the Chabad shul had a mikvah and my son being a chasidish bucher wanted to go to mikvah before shabbos so he asked the shalich who gave his ok,the shalich’s 8 year old son never saw the mikva in use and knew what when you convert you use a mikva, so when my son came out of the mikva building he asked my son are you Jewish?
I’m surprised the Rav didn’t use the mikveh himself (and take his son along for the same reason)
Do you want current or old (pre covid) stories?
Eight year olds definitely go and use it.
> Rav didn’t use the mikveh himself (and take his son along for the same reason)
the father should not go with the son, or a Rav with the community
Always ask questions,
It’s fine if you don’t see him unclothed (you wait outside until he gets dressed then he sees you go in (I know someone that does that)
I went with a bunch of guys to a chasuna where we had to fly to and one of the people was late on the return flight so he called the airline with a bomb threat so the plane would be delayed (this was post 9/11)
You thought that was funny?!
Syag,
I left out the aftermath
What I thought he did was stupid (the lawyer said so also) but that’s the closest thing to a funny story I have
once when I was traveling, someone shared the following joke (read off a laffy taffy):
q: what flower is on your face?
a: tulips.well, that’s pretty funny.
why isn’t everyone laughing?Coffee addict:
Your story is not the least bit funny.
Not even close.@goldilocks I found that story quiet funny.
Without going into details, one of the flight attendants on a flight from JFK to Tokyo went on the public address system to alert the passengers that a group of frum yidden on board were going to daven and as part of their “prayer service”, would be waving around “bamboo sticks with pointed tips with a lemon attached”….her subsequent effort to describe arba minim was both hysterical but highly respectful.
How about the time they caught me at Ben Gurion with a carry on full of cigarette cartons? Oy what a moment that was! I feel bad for the guy who had to burn all those cigarettes though. Those are the rules!
