oops.. MK Yisroel Eichler (UTJ) slipped at the Knesset podium. While talking about how evil the people are who are trying to draft the haredim, Eichler makes mention of Rav Elyashiv and says "at the funeral of Rav Elyashiv, shlita".. Shlita is used for living people, not the dead.. an honest mistake, but still made me crack a smile..

ReplyDeleteIs Rav Elyashiv Dead or Alive?
ReplyDeleteHe's with the Lubavicher Rebbe :-)
