Situation Resolved...

B"H

It all started after Tishrei, when the Middle Easterns' (many of them at least) began to vacate the premises. That was positive news for us "Spoiled Americans", who were displaced persons for an entire month.

With new enthusiasm and devotion I started learning once again in my reclaimed seat; life was back to normal...

But wait, one problem...

Of the many that left, there are a handfull that stay behind for an entire year, as part of a group that's known as "Kvutzeh".

Well, I was lucky enough to have a two guys from that group sit RIGHT NEXT to me, at the table where I sit.

I know what you're thinking; "What's the big deal?! We all sit next to those guys, they're all over the place!"

You're right! And for that matter last year two from that group sat next to me, and they were both pleasant individuals.

But this guy just had a nasty odor emanating from him, I mean it was really bad. Every time he would pick up his arm I would begin to hyperventilate to get some oxygen in my system.

It was Terai...

After much thought and discussion with my chavrusah, (Chacha said (and I quote) "That's a delicate situation. Say something to your teacher, she may be able inform him or his parents of his hygiene problem."--...They don't seem to understand the intricate details and lifestyle of us in 770) We concluded that the best way to tackle the issue was to speak to a good friend of his, who would be able to influence him about proper hygiene.

We did just that, and B"H it's gotten much better ever since...
