No, it’s not “The Fiddler on the roof” It’s “The Rabbis on the roof”

SYDNEY, Australia [CHI] — Thursday, Rabbi Shmuel Feldman the Menahel Gashmi of the Yeshiva Center, went up the steep roof of the Yeshiva Building in Sydney together with Rabbi Moishe Gutnick, President and Rabbinic Judge of the Sydney Beth Din and Head of the KA (“Kosher Australia”) and Rabbi Daniel Kaye, Mashgiach of the Yeshiva Gedola Sydney. The Rabbi’s inspected the Roof and the mikva.

Rabbi Gutnick with consultation with Rabbi Feigelstock of Argentina, gave precise instructions for work necessary so as to refill the Rain Water for the “Bor Geshomim” as well as detailed instructions regarding the Cement rendering and the pipes for the bringing of the rain water from the roof to the rain water pool. The completed Mikva’s main use will be for men as well as a Mikva Keilim outside.

  • Hmm...

    What exactly made the esteemed journalist/author of the article think that an event of several rabbis climbing on a roof give directions of how to fix a mikva is newsworthy?

    I am sure somebody will write in the comments that it was Kiddush Hashem (rabbi on the roof? what a way to make dira betachtonim even in such “hard to reach places”); some will write that it was Hillul Hashem (rabbi on a roof? gevalt!); some will write “Mendy, Shifra, Yosef, Mendel and Chayim write: ‘Go Mendy!’”

    Dog bites man is not news worthy. Man bites dog, is! A roofer on the roof is not news worthy. A Rov on the roof, is! Is that too “Down Under” to understand?!

    Inspirational! We all must strive to reach higher. Climbing up on the roof is symbolic of this. The rain water comes from up high on the roof, and goes down to the depth of the building’s mikva where is transforms keilim and people to kedusha and tahara. Just like the neshama!
