    I can’t tell you much about paranasah. But if you’re a ‘black hat’ type, this is the place to be. (Otherwise, you might not fit in as well.) If you’re from New York, you will find the quality of life is superior. The best of both ruchnius and gashmius!

    Are you saying that the ‘Jewish’ jungle music played at chasunas today is spiritually uplifting? It is without even a taint of refinement, and I don’t care what the lyrics are, if you can even hear them over the megadecibel noise. There are many light secular songs of yesteryear that I would characterize as uplifting, or even inspiring, before this bilge.

    Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt’l once told me, back in 1974:

    “Do you know what those people are thinking about [while they are pacing back and forth]? NOTHING.”

    Thank you Reb Doniel. I don’t know how you came up with that, but it works!

    I use Lands End no-iron white dress shirts, and am quite satisfied. If you’re not, you can return them for full refund. From time to time they have specials, especially around year-end.
