  4. Being lost in a forest is worse? Those poor boys, with soo much choice!
    I think I know all I need to know about this article. No thank you. Most articles from Mishpacha annoy me, I don't think this one will be the exception to the rule.

  5. Rabbi BenZion Halberstam, second Rebbe of Bobov, smoked cigars.
    When his doctor told him that smoking is unhealthy, he quit smoking immediately and never smoked again.
