The following image was sent to me, seemingly photographed in Lakewood (based on the file name, and by some of the other details in the picture). I have no idea if the image is true or doctored. If true, this would also qualify for "chumra of the month". Enjoy.

I heard that in Brisk they handed them out prior to tekias shofar.
ReplyDeleteBut you are supposed to stick Q-Tips directly in your ear...hmmm!
ReplyDeleteUsing q-tips increases the chance of tamping down the wax so that the canal gets really clogged. Maybe this is where the problem comes from.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Can't hear you, I have a banana in my ear!
ReplyDeleteIt's an old joke. Rav Haber told us that when he was in Brisk over Purim, they were handing out earbuds so that people could hear the Megilla properly.
