  1. Why is this particular group of such interest to the editors at Matzav? Has Matzav become bored with Rechnitz? Your chaniffa knows no bounds. Pheh.

  2. Purim was almost two months ago.
    kol hakovod – enjoy and come back safe. Though nothing beats the inspiration of an actual Gemora learning

    • Why did the trigger happy Matzav censor decide to butcher my comment? Can’t say that this trip probably cost as much as a house purchase? Can’t say that it’s silly to dress up as Arabs? Pathetic.
