Post Purim Post
by Yeshiva Guy
Yerushalayim is host to hundreds of different yeshivos. The “yeshivish” appellation would be an apropos tag for many or most.There are a few diras that belong to MO or non Orthodox institutions that for whatever reason wish to define themselves a yeshiva. Fine. This post does not apply to them.
In any of the yeshivish diras located in Yerushalayim, the Motzei Purim scene is identical. On an incredibly dirty tablecloth of some form (likely the kind that is designed to be easily washable and therefore remain perpetually clean- only the makers never counted on bochurim diras, and the tablecloth is now hopelessly and forever stained) is scattered about tens and tens of wine bottles. Contained within the bottles are varying levels of alcoholic beverages, many of which were not the original inhabitants of their current hosts. And yet, all of these bottles and associated wines share a common characteristic.
They were all purchased in the exact same fashion, with the exact same question.
The purchaser, in each case, asked the proprietor or wine store attendant for only one thing.
“Give me a dry wine that goes down easy”.
you forgot about the drunk guy laying on that table
I didn’t. He was on the floor.
yasher koach in parshat loshon horo, for a swipe at MO with their so called ‘yeshiva’s …. let’s see if we can keep another pesach without geula….
Nothing personal. I just don’t consider them yeshivas- more schools that offer Hebrew studies on the side. I’m not sure that many of the Rebbeim in such places would differ.
