The speech was amazing! My wife would like to hear it. Can you post the whole speech.
Correction: Rav Yaakov Neiman was the rosh yeshiva of the Lomza Yeshiva in Petach Tikva
what would he have said/done if boy WAS wearing a coat?
The video doesn’t work on mobile
He was a Smart Mashgiach he Knew Young Bochurim are Iner Chochoms and if the weather is a Little Chilly they will go without a coat
a person who thought a lot of himself and held himself to be a”rush
debehag” was told by someone that he’s a gornisht. he started fuming.
how can you say that. what a chutzpah etc. so the person answered
back “whats wrong? i gave you the greatest praise on earth that would
make anybody feel on top of the world.
so, as you can imagine, he got even more angry and wanted to beat the guy up.
so the person said “wait wait. let me explain.
this is what i meant. you are a combination of two very very great
people. you are two in one. there has never been such a great person
like you in all of jewish history. not only are you “chad bedoiroi”
you are “chad bekol hadoirois.”
now this guy started to take out his gun and was about to shoot him.
the person screamed “ let me explain.
you are half a Vilna “gorn” and half a Chazon “ish”!!!!!
