This is one of the most moving stories I’ve read since Leiby’s petirah. May you only see much nachas from your son till 120!!

Happy: I am not single but i have to compliment you on your poem! I know HASHEM knows EXACTLY what is good for you snd it’s coming sooner than you think!!! Yashias Hashem Keheref Ayin!

Haleivi: You are wrong!! There were many survivors Baruch Hashem!Though I don’t know how many are still with us today!

The same guy was found in Monroe trying to talk to another boy on the street in front of his house! So now what don’t let the kids play outside in front of your own house??

I think they are all same?

Missaskim is a wonderful organization. Anyone willing to donate, donors always welcome.

Busy as a Bee:: I give you a standing ovation! Kol Hakovod!!

My thoughts; Are you sure that that’s what it means? I have my doubts???

You BETTER BELIEVE WE DO!!!

OYR:: I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT!!! MY EX DAUGHTER IN LAW WAS A FACE BOOK ADDICT!!

Mike:: Even just 10 marraiges ruined is 10 too many!!

For all you readers, I love the way you think you can answer for the Kletsky family and interpret their words, the WAY YOU SEE FIT!!! I have a different vision! My vision says we should all try to better ourslves in any way possible. No one is trying to impose on you to lead their lifestyle thay are only trying to make you WAKE UP!!!

There is a town in Europe, Kalish, and there is a Kalisher Rebbe in Flatbush.

A point to add about Levush, dressing the part may not always be a mirror of what you are truly within, BUT it may also keep you from doing some things that you shouldn’t , based on being identified easily. So therefore, even if you don’t have sincere feelings the way you should, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress the part. BUT if Chas Veshalom, you are going where you shouldn’t, don’t make a chilul Hashem, leave your hat and ” langa rekel” home!!

It’s avodah with a BREN!!!!!!!!

I definitely feel for you and your wife. BUT I don’t think Mesira is an option. Have you tried speaking to your Rav about it? What about theirs? Sometimes it’s hard to live with neighbors who don’t show consideration for their neighbors, but I don’t think it’s legal to make noise at those times.Have you tried dealing with the playgroup and told them your position?

Zehavasdad: I never looked at religion that way… sad that you do…..

Always here: You were asked to post what you would give up NOT what you wouldn’t! Let’s be respectful of Leiby ZTKL”

Always runs:: I hear Monroe Kimputurin Heim is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Better than a five star hotel!!! Treat yourself for a couple days…..Bsha Tovah!!

We always stay in the hot city and work to pay for our childrens camps! Baruch Hash-m!

I don’t think it is being fair to blame the father of any child who is being mechallel Shabbos.

This is really some thread! Alot to think about! Firstly: Always Runs: Do I remember correctly were you awaiting a simcha?

As far as your ” friend” all I can honesty say is I don’t think she has the proper tools to work with. I don’t believe she understands at all where you are coming from.I wouldn’t put too much energy in that relationship either. She doesn’t mean bad chas veshalom, she doesn’t know any better.

I want to share a small story with you: By one of my married childrens shidduchim, someone came up with this one: they told my daughter that ” People are saying that my husband is a Baal teshuva”. Do you know what my husbands response was?

“I wish I was a baal teshuva, I’ve been working on it for years!” Chazak!! Be proud!Wishing you much mazel and nachas!!

I don’t believe wearing cotton tzisis makes you sooooo much warmer.I think it’s mind over matter. By the way, the halachas of tznius keeps women much warmer in the summer and I don’t think we complain……

I’ve found this thread to be quite amazing. Some excellent points were made. Though I must tell you from a family members example: Not always does going for help, help. there are so many people out there calling themselves “Therapists” without any license of any sort.It seems to be a very good going parnassah right now UNFORTUNATELY! The problem is alot of them DO NOT help the situation, only make it worse! Please make sure when you seek help that you are seeing the right person.Referrrals from Rabbonim that know you personally should be helpful.

Unfortunately, its the absolute truth! there were also children involved who

took it very badly!

oomis: Been there done that, it doesnt work either! it’s not a good idea from a frum point of view either.

mods: you for your sensitivity on this thread by editing what needed.

oomis: Are you a misnagid by any chance?? I’m truly sorry that Chassidim and their views intimidate you in any way? Sorry to disappoint you but tznius was made for everyone not only Chasidim.

icot: I give you my standing ovation!
