RABBI WEIN ON A TALE OF TWO SEATS

I recently flew to the United States from Israel. For various undoubtedly good and sundry reasons that I was unaware of – though many of my fellow passengers who “know” everything about everything had various and conflicting stories as to the cause – El Al was flying a Portuguese airplane and crew on this flight. The airplane was not the one I was familiar with and my seat though being in business class, no longer a luxury for me at my age, felt less than the usual comfort level that I was accustomed to.
