Drunk -- on three glasses of Listerine
polsky says: it sort of makes sense, considering that I've had liquers that taste like mouthwash, so you might as well buy what's cheaper
from the OU weekly email
This week, as a small part of our new initiative called “Safe Homes, Safe Shuls, Safe Schools,” we announced our attempt to eliminate the phenomenon known as Kiddush Clubs, at which individuals leave services, usually during the Haftorah, and partake in hard liquor. Our Board voted at the first Board meeting of the new administration in Los Angeles, to overwhelmingly support the statement against these clubs. We have two objectives in this initiative. On the one hand, we are attempting to restore Kedushat Beit HaKnesset and Kavod Beit HaKnesset, sanctity and dignity to the prayer services in all of our synagogues. Secondly, we are concerned with the message sent by adults participating beyond moderation in alcohol on synagogue premises. Obviously this is only a small part of a larger effort in the area of educating our community regarding the dangers of alcohol which often lead to serious substance abuse. Another part of our attempt to change the culture of the services in the synagogue, is a live webcast shiur which I will begin on Thursday noon, February 24th and hope to continue every Thursday at noon. This shiur will be entitled “Tefillah v’Siddur haTefillah” or “Prayer and the Prayer Book.” This shiur will be open to all individuals from our offices as well as to anyone in the community who wishes to attend. It will be held in the large meeting room on the 14th floor every Thursday at noon. It will be devoted to the philosophy of prayer, halachot of prayer, and texts of the prayer book.
i'm all for it.
