At the Knessia Gedola, was one of the few times that he spoke in public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-17578604036727653722015-02-26T13:26:01.249-05:002015-02-26T13:26:01.249-05:00http://daattorah.blogspot.com/2015/02/rare-footage...http://daattorah.blogspot.com/2015/02/rare-footage-of-chofetz-chaim-at-first.html<br /><br />both versions of the video at the link aboveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-59674562273296912012015-02-25T23:11:06.482-05:002015-02-25T23:11:06.482-05:00there's a "new and improved" version...there's a "new and improved" version of the clip making the rounds with a soundtrack and on-screen captions of which gadol (not all are equally famous or instantly recognizable) your looking at at a given moment. maybe you can lay your virtual hands on it and update your post?<br /><br />Reb Elchonon Hy"d is really just a "blip" and unless you pause it at the right nanosecond you're going to miss him.The Bray of Fundiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552912825252813495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-89837272616923931892015-02-25T21:10:40.150-05:002015-02-25T21:10:40.150-05:00Kudos to R' Yosef March and Hamodia for pursui...Kudos to R' Yosef March and Hamodia for pursuing this and sharing the story with everyone.SoMeHoW Frumhttp://somehowfrum.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-84462904600679093562015-02-25T18:16:37.145-05:002015-02-25T18:16:37.145-05:00Thanks for linking mi yodea.

I don't think watching them move about makes us better people in any way.<br /><br />I wonder what all the Borsalino obsessed bochrim would say to the rather obvious total apathy to hat shape, style and even cleanliness exhibited by the vast majority of clergy and laity depicted here.

He'd probably be bounced by security as a suspected ISIS terrorist. He'd definitely condemn all his daughters to eternal spinsterhood.The Bray of Fundiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552912825252813495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-88684608786931148852015-02-23T13:57:56.327-05:002015-02-23T13:57:56.327-05:00Priceless!Priceless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
