What would Kllal Yisroel do without Matzav? No one else has access to the internet other than Matzav. No one else has a smartphone that tells you the weather right there on the screen.
The wind is more of an issue as those of us who have been to these types of venues understand. That being said, as of Monday night (12/23), the winds are predicted to be out of the W at 7mph gusting to 16mph. The wind comes into the stadium and swirls around.
So is that good or bad? Will it be annoying enough that I’ll have to keep one hand constantly on my hat in order that it shouldn’t blow off? What a pain. If that’s the case, forget about the hat. I’ll just put the hood of my coat over my head and leave my hat at home. I hope the shadchanim won’t snitch on me.
will the next question be…. what price seat did you sit in.?! 🙂
#4, the people that ask, what time did you finish your seder, and what time did you finish mussaf on rosh hashana, will ask what price seats did you get
