Conversations about the Stollel...

Converstaions about the Stollel have started to peek up again as we near the one year anniversary of our underground movement.

The following three conversations were had/overheard by various members of the Stollel community:

(Guest post from Srulii)

I bumped into one of the guys from the main beis medrash here at YU. he asked me what I was going to be doing for break and I told him that I am gonna be in Teaneck.

He responded: "Bein Hasemestarim," implying that I should stay in YU and partake of the between semesters learning program.

I said: "I am doing Frollel."
"What's Frollel?"
"The kollel in Dr. Friedman's basement."
He was confused. "Who's Dr. Friedman?"
"The gevir of the Stollel."
"Okay I'm confused."

I then went to the restroom, where I was headed in the first place. I thought that the encounter was really funny.

Another conversation was overheard by a Stollel member while working on the fifth floor of the library. This is his version of the conversation. (Through a strange series of events, I later found out who this conversation was between and I can't assure that this is exactly as it happened.)

Girl: Do you know what this Strollel thing is?

Boy: What?

Girl: Yea, I was searching through these blogs and I found this Stollel, Strollel Tamid...

Boy: I think it's like a new type of chassid

Girl: Because they have like this whole plan to sleep one night in the library and I so want to do that too.

After a separate Stollel-related prank in the library (stay tuned for more info.) an onlooker of the aformentioned prank said in reference to the Stollel members who were involved:

"Wow. I so want to be Chabad right now."
