And yet, I have been the tenth man in a yeshivish mincha minyan (not in a yeshiva) more than once and watched them wait until another person dressed like them showed up before starting. But we have ten! Sorry, only nine.
i didn’t even know such things happen, honestly. Garbage like that would have sent me packing ages ago. not from religion, but i would NEVER, EVER raise children in a place where they could learn such behaviors. besides the gross lack of understanding the value of a yid, throw in embarrassing someone in public, hmmm…kinda like killing in the name of Gd, huh?
It really sickens me to think of that. And if you are a poster who is somehow justifying it in your head, let alone in your life, or trying to formulate some type of defense for this, you need to do some serious work on yourself.
