always here

All the hanging out and other actions done at these locations were a result of being far away from parents, though not necessarily one reason. I know firsthand of guys and girls who were “mature” in high school but started down the wrong path once in Israel, usually from bad friends or just plain curiosity on what the other world was like.

There is this idea when being a teenager to be cool and see actors, athletes,and others as role models (despite the fact they live a life of values that are anti-Torah.)But once one matures and sees the emptiness of the hedonistic lifestyle and anti-Torah values, the role models become the appropriate ones. One chavrusa of mine used to have a picture of a movie star known for committing very unethical acts and after he left Israel when to his room and replaced it with a picture of Rav Moshe.
