Ch'er
why would you include a picture of one of the rabbis sleeping in middle of the speeches ?
just wondering
Where is Rabbi Grossbaum. The foremost authority on mikvah building
i didn't know
that after all these years we still haven’t yet get the mikvah specifications figured out.
Maybe we need to call an urgent meeting to discuss the latest cutting edge technology of bathtub material engineering, and required dress code should include name tags the size of whiteboards and titles the size of billboards
a shliach with a mikva
Well maybe you also don’t know that building a mikva and upkeeping it is very complex. Each individual mikva needs very exact planning and it’s easy to mistakenly use the wrong material or drill a wrong hole or put a pipe in a different direction and make the whole thing possul. Even changing the water and rainwater takes expertise.
