Rav Boruch Ber Leibowitz “How To Smoke On Shabbos”
Jump to Comments
“Chaim Nachman Bialik the famous Israeli poet learned in Volozhin in his youth before going off the derech. He learned there at the same time as Rav Boruch Ber Leibowitz. One time many years after their Volozhin days when Rav Boruch Ber was already a Rosh Yeshiva in Kaminetz, Rav Boruch Ber has the unpleasant experience of meeting Bialik in the street. Rav Boruch Ber crossed the street not wanting to have any encounter with him, but Bialik pursued him. Berel, I here you are considered a big Gadol today, said Bialik sarcastically. Since you are such a big lamdan maybe you find a way for me to smoke on Shabbos without being Michalel Shabbos?” more@Revach.net
