Did you see the front cover of the Jewish Press?
Bloody embarrasing it was.
Took a while to find online, but boy was it worth it. Would look at it again.

Bloody is a curse word in England so please stop cursing on Yeshiva world.
Many Gedolim in the past rode Donkeys Ponies and Horses. I am sure Moshe Rabbeneu rode a Donkey at some time in his life
Speaking of which, on shabbos we were discussing how strange it is that Eliyahu Hanavi is going to appear riding on a donkey. It doesn’t seem tzugepast for a navi. We concluded that it probably means a Bugaboo Donkey, which is luxurious and fit for a king.
How many of us and how hard do we have to metaphorize the passage of Krias Shma which promises the happiness of pasture for your animal?
Pasture for your animal = gasoline. We had this crisis recently…
whats so bad, people make issues about silly things
I saw the picture. Quite hilarious. Also I feel bad for the ponies. Why put large men on small ponies when you can put them on a horse?
they should have rented the budwesier clydesdales.

Yup.
I can’t say I’m surprised. You know how it is with Chassidim & Minhag. I’m just surprised that they moved to the Modernish inventions of indoor plumbing & electricity! (JK)
Eliyahu Hanavi is going to appear riding on a donkey? I thought it be moshiach (rashi in chumish “HaChamor” – same one as Avrohom’s, Moshe’s and Moshiach.
very cute got a kick out of it, the chasidim were horsing around.
Moshiach on a donkey sounds like a Xtian concept.
Riding horses seems unbecoming of a talmid chacham, just like going rock climbing, dreing around at amusement parks, other frivolities etc. seems unbecoming of a learned man.

Yes, or a passuk and gemara.
See Zecharya 9:9; Sanhedrin 98a
