In 75% of the cases, Internet is so useful for reading and learning things that otherwise you cannot have access to. The rest is taken by those very busy to make the web the home of their misunderstandings, half-truth and an inappropriate pinch of hate.
Yesterday, a picture was posted around the net and social media: a 'Haredi' - can anyone define me in a couple of words this words throw up as a curse when you don't like the degree of religious observance of your fellow Jew - man in a plastic bag in a plane! Hilarious, shocking, philosophically speaking, outrageous. Of course he does not like women, what other reason may he can have for such a discriminatory outfit?
The truth was revealed a couple of hours later: as a Kohen, the plastic bag is a measure against contamination when flying over a cemetery or in order to avoid eventual contact with dead insects.
