What happened to rules made by Rabbanim several years ago that no bachurim under the age of 21 were to drive up in the country?!?
how do you know he was under 21???? dont jump to conclusions!!!!!!
#2 Perhaps by interpreting “A young Bochur…” and someone 21 years old in this community should no longer be a bochur, and certainly not a “young Bochur..”
