arcParticipant
you.
arcParticipantI dont doubt the vearicty of your stories but you exxagerate the numbers.
Also most of your stories would happen in US as well. You can watch movies in internet cafes (but paying in 15 minute intervals add up) but you cant watch porn in them.
arcParticipantWhen I was learning in E”Y there were always some Mir guys in “town” but it was mostly the same 15-20. there was more than 100 times that amount that were doing right but those guys, gave all a bad name to some people.
I think the same thing here.
arcParticipantoomis if anything with a shadchan there’s less of a reason to worry. they wont mingle in the same circles and the shadchan breaks the news. win and win.
arcParticipantnice and rude arent the only options. firmly tell them we dont think it’s for us and please dont discuss it with our child.
arcParticipantas YWN posted on the main thread very astutely “jews care about social service issues more than social issues”
arcParticipantit is what it is. people like to kvetch.
arcParticipantI worked during bein hazmanim to help support myself but didnt think twice about spending for whatever I wanted (I never did parasailing or eilat).
A couple of years after I got married it hit me how much I actually cost my parents for 3 years I wasin Israel and I called my parents to thatnk and apologze to them.
arcParticipantike behar
arcParticipantoptimusprime if you want to say illicit purposes I cant argue but to call seforim illicit is just dumb.
arcParticipantWhy was Monsey singled out in this thread it seems Brooklyn is having the same issue. Perhaps it is not a local issue but an issue we as a nation are having or at least cities with many schools..

arcParticipantthank you
arcParticipant“Statistics show that guys who get married at eighteen have more years of a happy marriage on average”.
The only reason they have more years is because they were younger had they been 3 years older they would have 3 years less. I’m not being punny with this I’m serious and I doubt the veracity of these “statistics”
There is a big difference between 20 and 23 maturity wise on all people.

Golden Flow is the best of the cholov Yisroel companies.
Just because R’ Moshe was matir all milk doesnt mean you dont get more schar.
November 5, 2010 6:19 pm at 6:19 pm in reply to: What's your favorite food at each restaurant? #707412arcParticipantI like to get the specialty of the restaurant, unless they have something different that other places dont.
arcParticipantwow how on earth do you figure that? I was getting that impression from you! I was trying to honestly and fairly defend my community and your assertion that Rabbonim dont care about the students.
arcParticipantKeep the money and give a portion to tzedakah
arcParticipantMonsey doesnt have a R’ Matisyahu.
Out of town cities that have 1 to 2 schools arent comparable.
Underscore I’m sure this will shock you but most people in Monsey dont work in the city.
I also wonder how many students are actually out of school and if they honestly had no options or if they only wanted 1 specific school that isnt working with them.
arcParticipantAries,
In an ideal world you’re right but I feel like you’re giving too much credit to the Vaad and parents.
I think if the school says we are staying open we dont want these children because they’re a bad influence most parents especially working ones will ignore the vaad and not start with their school.
arcParticipantcome on SJS landlords make money.
arcParticipantsac thats a real stretch.
Is a church a”z?
arcParticipantapy it’s for rubashkin. it was on this site and youtube
arcParticipanthope for haiti was copied as well it was done in the 80’s orginally (TTBOMK) and for 9/11 amongst others.
arcParticipantwhat does drinking have to do with your rant?
arcParticipantMy 5 year old saw someone he likes smoking and told him “I’m sure you dont know that smoking is dangerous but my zaidy had to have an operation because he smoked”.
arcParticipantAries, even if they arent allowed on the vaad (I dont think the prinipals are on the vaad) it doesnt cure the situation.
If a school doesnt want to follow the vaad what control do they have to force it?
Supposedly Lakewood has the strongest vaad but even there I doubt they can force their will.
Monsey unlike some other places isnt a town “run” by a Rebbe,yeshiva or single Rov but rather a group of neighborhoods and their Rabbonim combined into a mostly nice community.
arcParticipantIn medicine, hyperventilation (or overbreathing) is the state of breathing faster and/or deeper than normal. It can result from a psychological state such as a panic attack, from a physiological condition such as metabolic acidosis, or can be brought about voluntarily.
Why do you hyperventilate.
arcParticipantIf a parent or school doesnt want to abide by the vaad harabonim, then what should the vaad do?
If only 1 school listens to the vaad is it fair to force them to add 100 students?
Another problem is I believe 1 of the 2 schools is very yeshivish the other was a big mix.
arcParticipantmy wife stopped taking money once she started working her siblings didnt.
arcParticipantguy can mean girl as well. ah who am I kidding it was an assumption.
arcParticipantarc is my only name but considering the reason we say it I would imagine 2 pesukim are in order
arcParticipantguy asked a question, I answered. deal with it 🙂.
arcParticipantmissme he didnt question whether or not it happens but why.
arcParticipantBPT, I dont want to insult people but you’re along the right lines.
arcParticipantpba
op said what type of person is he- meaning am i going to be hearing from a MO rabbi or a chassidishe rebbe type?
I said “he’s in the middle on the left of the center point” that doesnt make him a leftist.
I havent followed him in several years so I dont have exact examples but thats just my feeling. I dont think its insulting or something most people would disagree with.
arcParticipantfair enough is ok because you’re agreeing. deal with it in most cases (wolfs was ok) is annoying because it means “I am right and will not listen to reason”
November 2, 2010 6:15 pm at 6:15 pm in reply to: What to do about windows that seem to be letting in a draft? #706099arcParticipantwalmart etc. sells window and door sealer kits for cheap. they worked well last year for me.
arcParticipantThank you .
arcParticipanthow do you italicize or bold words?
arcParticipantI dont think he is that far to the left somewhere in the 40’s.
arcParticipantdifferent topics, he’s in the middle on the left of the center point. not overly intellectual type speeches.
arcParticipantcheck their website but torah lectures is mostly what it is.
arcParticipantAlso FTR the bigger issue in Monsey is that most of the schools dont feel a sense of responsibility to the community and therefore refuse to accept students.
R’ Chill works tirelessly with this issue and publicly called on “those” schools to step up and realize their achraius to the klal. The late R’ Flam was also known to work hard to get all students into schools (HS was the bigger issue then)and Im sure there are others.
arcParticipantwhats with the recent board trend of “deal with it”?
At some point we realized theres more to school then just attending and 35 kids in a class was detrimental to the student.
arcParticipantmosherose “No youll have to deal with it lachar meah vesrim”.
How do you figure?
arcParticipantIm not a “professional” but have to travel for work occasionaly. when Im home I get home early enough to do homework with my kids but if I travel its the same as a guy not getting home until late (1AM is an exaggeration).
as an above poster said its not about chasing almighty dollar its about attempting to pay my bills.
arcParticipantmost of the schools in monsey dont have 15 kids they have more like 25.
just because years ago there were 35 kids in a class means nothing.
arcParticipantno if I say X is even better it’s a compliment to them
arcParticipantwhen and where I have a mesorah not to turn down a lchaim.
