Also, the dance steps were far from difficult. They did not even dance in the normal steps. They were doing almost completely the train and it was great. We were running people over. It was a living example of Survival of the Fittest. <BR/><BR/>Also, I am ashkenazy with a yeshiva background. I still have a sav, even if I sometimes revert to the tav. Also, while I admire Rav Bar Hayyim and his followers, I am not one of them.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-78805381126640458342007-10-04T18:47:00.000+02:002007-10-04T18:47:00.000+02:00B"H (eyebrows raised in shock) I don't think that ...B"H (eyebrows raised in shock) I don't think that even I would make such a "questionable" comment regarding TA and TAY. Whereas, as you know, would be quick to tease you for still believing there's a Hebrew letter known as "Sav." ;-)<BR/><BR/>Rafi, have you ever thought that maybe you just weren't adept enough at their complicated steps??? ;-)<BR/><BR/>The best dancing during Sukkoth, of course, takes place at the MaSSSSSSmidim Yeshivah. I didn't make it there this year, but did make it to the tame, but <I>lebadik</I>, Karlin (Stollen) Mossa'ei Yom Tov.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad you, Jameel, and Elchonon, and everyone else made it out of Hevron in one piece.
