(Please G-d I'm getting my own installed on Monday morning)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's a Bavusteh zach that bochurim sit down for a beer in the airport or sit down at a local pub in a foreign locale. I don't know if that makes it "ok," but I don't think there's any clear cut rules on the issue (Yoreh Deah 114 aside ;) ). Which means to say that it might not be a problem per se in CH.<BR/><BR/>It just seems like the same people that would have a hergesh that s'is pas nisht to go to a bar in NYC have no problem doing it while they're away (I'm not judging ... you know me). The same question could be asked about clothing; that when some bochurim travel (not necessarily in camp) they wear t-shirts, but in CH they won't walk the streets without a H & J.<BR/><BR/>Is it just that they're are afraid to be seen, or better, is it just some extra decorum in CH?Nemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402531988433648505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-3693603303815874492008-09-03T13:50:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:50:00.000-07:00-Nemo: Glad you found some time.
