kiddush hashem in Bein Hazmanim
This was not an interesting psak but I'll bring it here anyway... With the start of "bein hazmanim" Rav Yiztchak Zilbershtein, rav of Ramat Elchonon neighborhood of Bnei Braq, offered words of chizuk and enocuragement to the avreichim of his kollel, especially considering the current environment that is hot right now against Haredim and them now going to be out there in public as targets while on vacation.....
Hamechadesh brings Rav Zilbershtein's words of warning and encouragement... Ra Zilberrshtein said the people who learn here in his kollel are like learning in Slabodka where they act and speak with great levels of derech eretz and they are identifiable by their gentleness of spirit. They do not scream in the streets like a donkey.
When people insult us, as bnei yeshiva, we forgve the insult immediately and simply say thank you for the comment I will take it under consideration. This is what we learned in Slabodka how a ben yeshiva behaves, Rav Zilbershtein said.
During bein hazmanim, while out and about in the streets, your behavior has to be such that people who see you will know that these are people who were blessed by God. No screaming in public. No eating in the street, not even eating or licking ice cream and the like.
And mostly, if someone insults us, simply respond by saying forgive me, perhaps you are right, I will work to be better in the future.
This type of behavior will be a tremendous kiddush hashem.
Yeshiva boy or not, we could all benefit from better behavior in public and bettering our own behaviors in public.
