A friend told me today I should go to Jerusalem and get stabbed by an Arab. It would help my reputation in the community and be good for my career.
Later in the day, he gave me a modified Heil Hitler salute in tribute to my shaved head.
* Rabbi Elazar Muskin at Young Israel of Century City never goes to his left. When he stands at the bima, all the solid citizens of his community sit to his left, and all the scallywags congregate to his right. So when he needs to shush the shul, it’s always directed at the rascals to his right.
Some shuls at rabbi-run and some shuls are board-run. Rabbi Muskin runs YICC, Rabbi Kanefsky runs Bnai-David, and the board runs Beth Jacob and Beth Am.
