(First, the wisecracks)
1 – Being able to have a coffee before brachos, and a l’chaim after olainu
2 – Being able to skip tachnun more days that my litvish friends
3 – Being able to find a minyan for mincha, when the litvaks are getting ready for bed
Ok, now serious:
The biggest benefit is being part of a team, with a team leader. Its also very reassuring to know there is a support network in place to lend a hand if you’re in a pinch.
And the potato kugel tastes better when you wear a gartel, and have langeh payis 🙂
