Um..Why in the world would yeshiva bochrim do this?? What a chilul Hashem!!
June 19, 2011 5:51 pm at 5:51 pm #778462a maminParticipantWho said they are yeshiva bochurim? just because they are single and jewish , it doesnt make them yeshiva bocherim!
June 19, 2011 6:15 pm at 6:15 pm #778463real-briskerMemberUm… Maybe they weren’t Yeshiva Bochrim.
June 19, 2011 6:34 pm at 6:34 pm #778464yummy cupcakeMemberif they weren’t yeshiva bochurim, then ywn should not have posted that. why doesn’t someone find out the right info first. c’mon where is bptotty. can’t he go check it out for us? (or maybe he’s busy drag racing lol 🙂
June 19, 2011 7:06 pm at 7:06 pm #778465Y.W. EditorKeymasterWhere does it say the word “yeshiva”?
June 19, 2011 7:07 pm at 7:07 pm #778466always hereParticipantI’m just surprised no arrests were made!
my DH was in BP late last night (into the wee hours of the morning) @ the Skulener Rebba, Shlita. I hate to think of what might have happened if he had come in contact with this MVA, cv’s.
June 19, 2011 7:24 pm at 7:24 pm #778467a maminParticipantMany interesting comments were made at the news section of YW.
June 19, 2011 7:29 pm at 7:29 pm #778468smartcookieMemberBochrim is the respecful term used for young, unmarried men. Doesn’t turn them into Tzaddikim. They are some foolish, selfish Bochrim who put themselves and others into major danger by acting very irresponsibly.
They obviously have problems in their life and are missing lots of Sechel. I too, don’t understand why they weren’t locked up.
June 19, 2011 7:30 pm at 7:30 pm #778469HaLeiViParticipantI think they forgot to mention that part of the number of cars mentioned were parked cars.
June 19, 2011 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm #778471☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhere does it say the word “yeshiva”?
Good point, but the word “bochurim” shouldn’t be used either. Although it has come to mean single young men, the root is “choice ones”, which implies yeshiva students, and some still associate the term with b’nei Torah.
The term “young men” would have been more neutral.

June 19, 2011 9:22 pm at 9:22 pm #778473HomeownerMemberAnother example of the lawlessness that pervades Borough Park. I will be very disappointed if the same Coffee Room posters that applauded the criminals who defaced the H&M sign don’t show up in this thread soon.
Arrest these bums!
June 19, 2011 9:36 pm at 9:36 pm #778474GumBallMemberIt dosent bother me any less iam just saying any jew is a big chilul hashem but jewish bucherim is a even bigger one!! Shame on them they shud be arrested!!
June 19, 2011 9:46 pm at 9:46 pm #778475ZeesKiteParticipantHi! I’m here. Someone called me?
June 19, 2011 11:02 pm at 11:02 pm #778477optimusprimeMemberI do not see the big deal. They committed a crime and must face the consequences or their actions. It does not matter whether they are yeshiva bochurim or eskimo hunters.
June 19, 2011 11:55 pm at 11:55 pm #778478ObaminatorMemberIt’s a misdemeanor. As first time offenders they will get a fine and probation.
June 20, 2011 12:38 am at 12:38 am #778479gefenParticipantZeeskite – yeah I thought I heard someone calling you. Since ur only 9yrs old – do you even know what drag racing is? well – stay away from boys who do that ok? i bet ur mommy would say so too.
June 20, 2011 9:35 am at 9:35 am #778480on the ballParticipantDaasyochid: The word ‘bochur’ may come from the root ‘choice ones’ but that has nothing to do with yeshiva at all. The word bochur appears many times in shas and meforshim and it simply is a reference to unmarried males.
That said I would agree that colloquially the word ‘bochur’ has become a reference to yeshiva bochurim. After all we don’t talk about ‘university bochurim’.

Good point.

It’s a bigger chillul Hashem if they’re yeshiva bochurim.

I agree its a bigger chillul Hashem. But at the same time, must we lie about who commits it? Maybe you should start a campaign to not describe criminals or those who commit unlawful acts in the media. Its only going to say “Human did X…” or something like that.
June 20, 2011 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm #778483apushatayidParticipantBochrim at risk? College bochrim? Older bochrim in the workforce? I’m just trying to get used to the new usage of the word Bochrim.
