I was recently in the starbucks on the corner of Park and 34th in the city and asked for a: grande, sugar free cinnamon dolce latte with 2% milk, 3 splendas and whipped cream. And the non-jewish barista told me i cant get the whipped cream because it isn’t kosher. this was the second time i had this happen in a starbucks. Once in one near lakewood i asked for a similar drink and the woman behind the counter informed me that that flavor doesn’t have an OU. I thought it was the Hashpah of BMG that even the goyim knew halacha but how does that explain the incident in the city?
You think starbucks has become a brand name in coffee? where in Montana do you live?
Wow! Thank you everyone here for your support. I do believe it was the right thing to do. My stomach turns every time drive by that place. I have never seen anything so disgusting in all my life. Even in Manhattan there isn’t such a billboard.
I also want so echo oomis1105’s point that you cant be afraid to do something right because of fear of public opinion.
My dear friend Gawker: You bagan this topic as a machoh against me and – im not happy about it – it eneded up being a macho against you. Aren’t you happy that someone tried to do something so you sons dont have to see this sign whenever they go to Brooklyn or the City?
Sammygol,
Well know you did say it. And anyway why would it degrade a Rebbe who promoted it
if there are actual people who suffer becuse of it? Either it is healthy or not,
and it’s not.
Jewishfeminist02,
These relationships described in the Torah are not normal functioning
relationships, if you mean to justify it by that.
sammygol,
ya, and what about all the inter-family marriages that goes on today in some segments of the jewish population. someone being their own uncle and nephew at the same time cant be healthy.
I was the one who went to the “den of iniquity” to speak with it’s manager. It is impossible to go to this place without being spotted by a frum person driving by; that is just how prominent this place is on this road (Rockaway Turnpike). In order not to be spotted I went during the night, and at the door I asked for the manager to come to me, which he did. He was aware of the religous communities proximity to his “establishment” but refused to be pressured.
Anyway, I belive it was a mitzva to do what I did for the sake of Klal Yisroel.
We once had a Victoia’s Secret on Centrel Avenue and due to the efforts of Rabbi J. Telzer (hamevin yavin) we succeded in having them clean up their windows and ultimitely shut down.
Squeak,
I would love to send my kids to South Shore Yeshiva it’s a very frum yeshiva, but the kids come out with an education and go on to higher education institutions. The only trade off (which i frankly dont care about) is that they will come out dressing normally (OMG!) and will have diffrent interests than their neighbors (who would otherwise be their friends), and even their cousins, who studied in more yeshivish places.
The real problem is that anyone who’s life has brought them to a place and situation where they can open their own yeshiva, ists usually because they themselves are coming out of learning for a long time. The people who want normal yeshivas to exist are the ones who already have jobs and cant open a school.
Isn’t it sad that he has to prove that this isn’t a new concept, but rather it already existed in Europe. It’s such a phoney revisionist claim. Barely anyone in Europe learned in Yeshivas. And also even today most adults work. It’s probably a single digit percentage of American men who are in their 30’s or 40’s who are still learning. All of a sudden todays system of exclusively learning forever is really part of a mesorah of hundreds of years! Come on, this is ridiculous.
So letter #1 is recommending we take a que from the Charedim in Eretz Yisroel. How about we do that and have someone at the next kiddush throw acid in the face of these girls.
Or throw bags of garbage at them like I saw a group of Charedim once do to a group of Russian Jews in their 80’s/ They survived the anti-semitism of the Communists and came to see Eretz Yisroel, and this is what they saw (or victimized with) while in Mea Shearim.
And also how classeles is that author who refers to his friends daughters as “chayos”. I think he needs to be fixed.
