    My son went to a yeshivish dorm where he says every room has a smosmoker or vaper and people get drunk every week. The rebbe also smokes. I worry for my son so i speak up! And im sick of the vaping in shul as well

    It says One can not Rebuke a Lets as they make everything into a joke.
    For example smoking and drinking is Addictive and a chilul hashem.
    In the yeshiva referenced some get DRUNK weekly and its Not Purim. Is this a college dorm or a Yeshiva? And smoking and second hand smoke according to All Medical profesionals is DANGEROUS to health and life, It SAYS in the TORAH Vshamartem Meod Al Nafshosaychem and VChai Bahem and Kal Yisroel Arayvim Zeh Lazeh, That means serious chilul Hashem and Dangerous behavior should be STOPPED by Hanhalah in yeshiva. It also WRONGFULLY endangers through second hand smoke and PEER PRESSURE

    From the Surgeon Generals 2014 report on the Centers for Disease Control site

    Every adult who dies early because of smoking is replaced by two new young smokers. If smoking continues at current rates, 5.6 million—or 1 out of every 13—of today’s children willultimately die prematurely from a smoking-related illness

    I myself use linkedin. But if some are opposed to even photos of tsnius ladirs how would they feel of videos? And if shmoozing a lot with single or married women or vice versa is at some ppoint (???????) Wrong is it same by “posting”? And many many posts are indeed Not just business. Please see my earlier posted examples. Just things to be aware of.

    Linkedin may be an important tool for business but there are pitfalls and shailos. Like is posting how much to articles by other genders at what point may be “flirting”. And if it is appropriate to “love” a post by another gender. One also needs to consider everything one posts or likes is seen by all connections. For example I saw a sheiteled person like 2 posts that included nivul peh and another (maybe a mistake) that liked a post ending praising an avoda zara. It alsoa sks how much video posting by women to what point is not tzniut

    As an example I just saw a video post on LInkedin by a Heimish looking man with a big beard while he is jogging in the park with a fellow Linkedin Female connection who is dressed in legging pants.
    I am sure YAted Neeman would not publish the photo. (is it just me or are these not ideal – especially to post to the internet?)

    I useto look at linkedin as just a networking event buy now i see people posting or commenting on posts through out the day including heimish and chassidish as well as anyone men and women including many videos on internet and so often not exactly parnassa related.

    Does It Seem Linkedin Has Turned Into the Facebook of Adults? Especially now with many Video Posts. I see even Heimish and Chassidish men and women posting and video posting on LInkedin often posting many times each day. There are even such “Parnassa Needed” posts as reflections on family life. Is this a Problem? Including Nashim making innocently many video posts on the internet?

    And at what point should we toos people out as “Too Old”!?! I know we dont do that for Rebbeim in Yeshivas though one needs sharp mind for gemarah. Only people within 20 years of tehir lifetime are classified as Not too Young or Too Old for Hiring?!? Maybe we need a FRUM EOC 😉

    In todays world with FEMALE dentists, dermatologists, lawyers, judges, CPAs, etc it doesnt make sense to code Female for low paying job. Also, some females may want higher paying jobs and some Males may settle for less as well. Not right to CUT them out automatically without a chance.

    This, it seems to me, is not Even A Shaila. Palestinians OPenly Incite that They Want to Kick Out all the Yidden from All Erets Yirsorel and Massacre as Many as They Can! Hamas AND Abbas PAY REWARDS to THOSE THAT DO!! At these rallies Palestinians Often Scream Itbah LaYahud (Slaughter the Jews) These are MalShinim And Bogdim. We Pray As Per Anshei Knesset Hagdola every day VLamlshinim Al Thi Tikva VChall Oyvai Amcha Maira Yikaraisoo. In past generations the term used for Traitors was Mosrim.
    Especially Those That Voice Support For Satmar against Israel at certain Rallies – Should Stand Up to Publicly Condemn Encouragers of Rotschai Yisroel! (Murderers of Jews)

A)Are there any other males at the job B) Are there several frum or otherwise women there C) What do YOU do if you are home and the cleaning lady is there and you are alone in the house (keep door unlocked?????????????????????)

    Mr Chanberlain If indeed girls do not get paid less what is the Real Reason we so oftyen see it oppenly said GIRLS or FEMALES or even YOUNG ENERGETIC GIRL wanted.
    If it is a female employer is she prejudice against frum men getting parnassah?
    If its a male – the Hailig Yid jst wants a girl tp keep him company?

    A) Techincally when people interview in their MINDS they may be free to Discriminate and Not Hire. Regarding a Shomer Shabbos worker many other employers may feel if they can get someone there all the time as everyone else and not know Rosh Ahshana, Yom KIppur, Sukkos (5 days of yom tov), pesach (4 days of yom tov), shvuos (2 days) are automatically not available for work and the day before you need to leave early they may choose (for no Expressed reason) to Not Hire You .

    B)I am Talking about non Jewish school teaching, non Negiah necessitating jobs. Jobs Yiddishe men need to support themselves and families!

At thr same time it is understood SOME Political COrrectness IS NEEDED as in to be DECENT. It is a Breath of Frsh Air after Pres Obama to see this regarding the Crazy Left.

    This was copied and pasted fromm the Yshivaworld news web site of video taped Satmar camp activities on Tisha Bav

    Thousands of boys from the Satmar camps in the Catskills gathered at the main campus in Napanoch NY, with smiling youngsters carrying homemade signs bearing messages such as “Israeli army is not for Jews.” Rows upon rows of chairs were set up on the camp grounds, where a large stage was adorned with banners in English and Hebrew bashing the Israeli government including “Zionism = Brutality” and “Forced draft into the immoral Israel Army is nothing but an attempt to uproot our Judaism.”

    The veteran director of the camp, Rabbi David Rosenberg, opened the event, explaining to the children that the first Satmar Rebbe ZATZAL said that every generation is obligated to continue the fight against Amalek.

    Firstly, Especially as we read in the news of the crazy racists in Virginia that rallied against Jews and black people and anyone that is not a white protestant recently, of course I think its great when the numbers of Jews, especially frum Jews, grow. We need to rebuild. And most satmar yidden are wonderful fellow Jews and people.

    My observation from seeing videos this year and last year of many hundreds of campers being indocitrinated to actually strongly protest in rallies against israel and the israeli defense forces in strong terms exactly as Neturei karts who openly join with moslems in anti Israel rallies.

    As these numbers grow and as the ranks of moslems, and “progressives” grow as well the Pro Israel community seems to need a major growth spirt.
    Indeed we have seen that now 1 of the 2 New York senators, Gilibrand, questions if Israel has a peace plan and if she will vote for the anti BDS bill in congress. Maybe being from Upstate NY she sees whats going on at Kiryas Yoel.

    And regarding if they will ask if you were pro Israel. I think when the Gemara says what we will be asked – if you learnt Torah in set times, if you waited for the redemption, etc it DOES NOT say “Did you Kill?” Did you commit adultery?” Because that is OBVIOUSLY Wrong – Just as Betraying Millions of Jews, Chilul hashem and being Tifrosh from the Tsibur (to the degree of Endangering millions of them)

    a mamin So is it okay to call “tsionim” Amalek????? As it is a mitsvah to Eliminate Amalek!
    Is Rabbi Lau, Chief Rabbi of Israel, Amalek? Are the Agudah members of the Knesset Amalek? Did the Palestinian that killed the grandfather and his 2 children recently in a yishuv kill 3 members of Amalek?

    If You look at Videos in YESHIVAWORLD .COM you will see Satmar having Practice Anti Israel Demonstartions in Camp – Incouding on TISHA BAV!! (when it was SINAS CHINAM that destroyed the Bayis Shaini)
    Many people happen to feel in the eyes of may chassidim they look at other frum as “Goyim”
    In the article it claims they believe “tsionim” are AMALAIK. “tsionim” includes all soldiers – including the many thousands of frum! And millions of frum live and are physically protected by them in eretz yisroel where they are free to learn torah and daven and learn satmar! To say millions of YIDDEN are AMALYK is to say their Lives deserve to be eradicated! And INDEED in the video IT LOOKS LIKE SATMAR IS NETUREI KARTA!

    baruch hashem for the growth of jewish from,,,but sadly it is a warning to us that we need to think what to do for Klal Yisroel particularly in Erets Yisroel, 7 MILLION, including religious and secular. We need to somehow get the Message Across to Decent UnBrainwashed embers of Satmar that it is BAD to join with Murderous enemies of millions of Jews – with Jewish blood on their hands or lusts – to protest to elected officials or provide encouragement to them Against Israel who are surrounded by enemies seeking to kill all the Yidden there!
    Secondly, as we see what seem to be thousands of children being indoctrinated – to bolster all our own selves to come out in defense of the Security needs of Israel! Al Taamod Al Dam Rayacha – Im Ain Ani Li Mi Li – and Bimkom SheAin Ish Hishtadail Lihiyos Ish!

    RebYidd23 I am not sure of your background. Not everyone has wealthy parents or can have both parents working. In my case I am the only breadwinner and work a complete full day and try some part time as well. Do yu know why when somneone was found dead near a city the city elders needed to say their hands did not shed this blood?! BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY IS RESPONSABLE FOR ALL ITS MEMBERS – PARTICULARLY those that cant afford it. At the same time I must say there are many Great Very Praiseworthy fine YIdden who are very kind and helpful to so may. I hope one day I may be zoche to be a little as kind as they are. One fot eh great hallmarks of the Jewish community is our deep caring for each other. Mi KiAmcha Yisroel.

    Meno – There should be available to qualifying financially distressed families FREE lunches in school from the Board of Ed – to Yeshivas also! But instead some charge ALL parents for CATERED FOOD. If the claim is board of ed food is BAD – does that mean the public schools give Bad food to most NYC kids????(I dont think so)

    Now for a Brooklyn frum yeshiva in Flatbush I am charged $650 for the lunches for one child.
    I know for Public schools there is FREE lunch.

    How can we say every yeshiva is utilizing whatever aid IS available from the government to help frum parents carry the burden when for example there can be free lunch and we are charged $650 per child?!? The public school population is eating “horrible food”??? THey also seem healthier.

    Correction – such yeshiva bochurim that do wear t shirts and when they are not in yeshiva may wear and or daven in such, in a jacket or not, should go there to daven. It is MORE DISRESPECTFUL to be in shul and FIGHT others who just want to Daven then to Daven with a SHirt!
