I saw how he does it. He pretends the wine isn't there and he hopes it just goes away by itself.

there is a compartment in the base of the goblet that holds half the wine - it is activated by pressing some sort of spring loaded button underneath - watch the video again!

The letter below was published in the Jewish News dated 28 March....isn't this embarassing?...what can be done to prevent such misbehaviour in future?

APPALLING BEHAVIOUR

CONGRATULATIONS to Phillip Rubenstein and the organising committee for arranging the Chevra concert in support of the Hazon Yeshaya Soup Kitchen charity at the Mount Scopus Besen Performing Arts Centre on March 12.

However, I was appalled at the behaviour of the Yeshivah and Beth Rivkah students.

Never have I been to a concert where parents let their children run wild the way they did on that night. Swinging off poles, jumping on the seats and leaving their rubbish on the floor were just a few of the careless acts I witnessed.

I would be very surprised if Mount Scopus would permit having a concert at the Besen Performing Arts Centre by the same organisers again. Having ruach and creating an atmosphere at a concert like this is one thing, but the complete disregard for the centre, and the lack of discipline from the Yeshivah and Beth Rivkah parents and students, marred a very entertaining evening for me.

You really surprised? have you seen the way some of our BR girls dress and behave? Did you see them on Purim?
Do they get any lessons in tzenius at school?

I know that he gets a fair bit of criticism, but rabbi Feldman's new school in Sydney has the girls dressed in a tzanua uniform (like girls in overseas Chabad schools), long dresses and sleeves, stockings etc. Maybe it's time that we demanded this here. I think Rabbi telsner would go along with this.
