No. The Litvish pronunciation is “tono” with a komatz. “Tuna” is the Galician/Hungarian pronunciation.

ZhenZhen:
Your curiosity lead you to the inside scoop
You need to get a broader picture and work your way in- you can start with AISH.COM.

Also, try to remember when surfing the net, don’t believe everything you read (about anyone) but especially anything regarding Hassidic Jews.

Good luck! It’s a meaningful & beautiful life we lead here, I hope you get to see all this.

I have to say that as a secular jew just browsing through websites due to my curiosity about the deeply religious…I did not understand a single line in that post!!! Although it probably is funny.

Now, if someone would only explain it to me…sigh….

Btw yeshivaguy, talking about the seminary girls post, I need to thank you. I’ve thought about the line halfshared mentioned so often, about davening mincha, where you wrote “keep track of the time. We do.” That sentence really struck me, like “omg, they really do have to always keep track of the time, they can’t just decide at four o’clock to go on a shopping trip half an hour away” and I got a new-found respect for frum men who have to program their life around zmanei tefilah. And now, I find myself being more conscious of the time and when I’m going to leave and come, and I think of the line every time.

Oh? I guess I read it before the “ticked off” people? Dunno. Question: Isn’t it a “tina” beigel?

Look, I found it funny too. I recognize that profile in quite a few people I know. I still wouldn’t have expected it to come from you!

I checked out the seminary one and you can’t really compare making fun of the crocs they wear or them davening in the street to knowing the clerks in Blockbuster on first name basis. There are a lot of “tuna beigels” that like to have a good time and be where the action is but don’t really match the picture you depicted.

Anyway, your website has some great content, so keep writing!
