The “lavud” mention in the multiple screen name thread got me thinking about one of my favorite yeshivishe maaselach. It was in middle of the winter, and the heat’s on way too high. I surreptitiously crack open a window, hoping the complainer wouldn’t notice. Sure enough, he soon notices and comes over to complain. I told him that the window was open less than 3 tefachim, so it had a din of “lavud”, and was lomdishly closed. Unfortunately he didn’t buy it.
Jothar, very funny. Just saw it.
Reminds me of a friend who says that klal yisroel is great because no other nation has ever figured out how to make an eruv that allows you to carry on Saturday.

Cute.

A shkoyich takke’, It was mamish a gevaldiger shtarke yeshivisher joke there, I hope the oilem chapped the teefa lomdus of it!
Yeshivish car bumper sticker-Warning can explode at any moment!

is it a pj?
The ‘olem’ didn’t ‘chap’
The Oilam in yeshiva were discussing why you have to make a kinyan when you get married the gemara rfers to it as an Aveidah? so an eltere Bochur saya because we were long “meyayish” and an older yungerman say es iz gurnit a metziah
believer
if a gap (space) of less than 3 tephachim is present between two parts of a mechitza or between the mechitza and the ground, we consider the space AS IF it were a solid closed part of the mechitza
Similarly, by shidduchim, as long as the gap (space) in ages between the chosson and the kallah is 3 years or less, it is as if there is no age gap 😀
feivel: you say if there’s a space of less than 3 tefachim between parts of a mechitza it’s considered closed? You’ve obviously never been on the bus from Boro Park to Monsey (although it’s been years since I was on it!)
If there’s an opening of an inch you’ll have 5 chassidim jumping to fix it!
Maybe that’s why believer didn’t get it…
Reminds me of the Brisker talmid who told his son that he can drink the hot tea because it was in a kli shlishi. So by being afraid to drink from it, is showing a lack in emunah. ;
I think that lovud only works vertically. Am I wrong about that?
Also, there is a difference depending on what the mechitza is for. For example, a glass mechitza does not work for ervah (you cannot daven if there is a wall of glass between you and someone dressed inappropriately). So the bus mechitza should be all the way closed, if you need it at all. It would work for tzoieh (excrement).
Now that brings to mind the famous ma’aseh with a choshuver yungerman (happened long time ago, and he is a very chashuva person) and his R”Y. Out of the clear blue, he goes over to the R”Y and asks him, “Is the Rosh Yeshiva considered tzoieh or ervah?” He was asking regarding the chiyuv to stand for an adam gadol – and if a mechitza between them of glass makes a difference (I believe the correct answer is that it does not). The R”Y was the type to appreciate such sharfness, so he readmitted the talmid after kicking him out of the yeshiva.
squeak
lavud works horizontally as well
thank you feivel. I stand corrected.
Jothar, glasses??
I wear special sunglasses that were worn by the Gedolei Yisrael Shlita during Birchas Hachama whenever I need to say a beracha around an erva.
HaQer: wow! how much does such an idem go for!? and where can i buy them online!? 😉
BUMP!!!
Any more stories?
I ????? don’t use a spoon – what with forks and lovud, I’m sorted!
Jothar – if I were the guy (and I very well may have been; I hate the cold), I would have pushed you out the window. You wouldn’t be able to blame me for it, either, based on your own argument. 😉
When I was in yeshiva, someone once wrote the following on the board:
1. Ein haTorah niknis elah l’mi she’meimis atzmo ba’avurah
2. Chavrusah o misusa
Moral: Don’t learn with a chavrusah!
feif +1
Shabbos meal in yeshiva they would joke- “Don’t worry about putting the chicken (davar gush) on the on the (uncooked) rice….The chicken is cold!
