Pray Station

Here's how a producer at CNN entertainment reacted to a mincha minyon at the CES show: http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/blogs/marquee/2008/01/pray-station.html

Huh???

The clueless at AP inserted the following sentence in the obituary for R' Shmuel Berenbam, reprinted in the NYT which should know better:

Describing the Mir: "In contrast with other Orthodox and Hasidic traditions, it shuns all music, song and dance in the belief that secular learning is useful only for earning a living."

Now Leapa may dance when studying secular topics - but he knows he's an odd duck.

Or maybe the only secular knowledge the NYT recognizes is opera and ballet?

Sheesh!
