Has anyone ever responded to RSRH's smackdown there? I think Dayan Grunfeld writes that Graezt called RSRH a "heresy hunting hermit" in his next book, but I've never heard of a substantive response to RSRH's point by point rebuttal.shaul shapiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-63386142898334096852012-02-14T19:42:52.023-05:002012-02-14T19:42:52.023-05:00R.

Alternatively, like the " I'm with Stupid" T-shirt, have one that says "He's in Cherem" with a big arrow. Somehow it seems like a good conversation starter. Imagine how many shidduch dates would go so much smoother with opening lines like, "so, now that I'm out of Cherem..." Is it on shidduch resumes yet? Question #23 Have you ever been put in Cherem? Pardon me, it's been a long day.Lakewood Falling Downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483392684657880997noreply@blogger.com
