Tzedakah money, mind you….
Before the retainer they talk big, once the money is in their pockets, they are eager to move on…. and make more money from new trusting and vulnerable “criminals”.
I myself was tricked by my own lawyers.
It’s a lot easier to TRICK a client into something “simple” than ACTUALLY DO THE WORK THEY TOOK MONEY TO DO: prove your innocence beyond a shadow of a doubt, and clear your name!!!
What was the ending then?
In the olden days.the couple got married Friday or Friday night,no? A nice seudah, leibidig dancing, and everyone went home. Is that accurate? (I read it somewhere)
science: thank you,yes.
There is a story about a great tzadik who unintentionally caused a yid to be thought of as a person who didn’t repay a large debt….when the man, who had been driven to leave town due to overwhelming shame despite his purity,was found innocent, THIS GREAT TZADIK OFFERED HIS CHILD AS A SHIDDUCH FOR THE MAN’S CHILD, realizing that only a very powerful statement like that could possibly restore his once-sterling reputation.
Elzee’s has tons of great skirts to choose from. Sometimes Children’s Place has appropriate outfits for girls(usually more modest during the winter time), top quality clothing – but always very long lines. Kohls has nice tops esp. because you can wear shells with many short sleeve/sleeveless styles.
Do you mean not a big variety of brand-new music to choose from?
sharp,that’s sharp:)
Important things SHOULD be told; the nuances,etc. are up to teacher’s insight and perceptiveness….and a huge dose of siyata dishmaya to get it all down pat, and only help not hurt anyone.

superme:”right on”!:)
Teaching over 25 years…never ever asked! Something serious – that MUST be known – should be discussed in advance,probably initiated by principal.Halochos of Shmiras Haloshon must be strictly adhered. PARENTS ARE ENTRUSTING YOU WITH THEIR KIDS’ SOULS!AND THEIR REPUTATIONS – AS WELL AS THEIR KIDS- IS NOT “UP FOR GRABS”.
And by the way when I see innocent non-Jews being frisked in front of middle of a million people, it disturbs me too.
crisis: How are you so certain she is guilty? The articles I read insist she is innocent. Clearly, we are both influenced by the journalism we read.Since there is obviously more than a reasonable doubt to go by, why favor the prosecution?
Syag: My heart is with you.Some things only Hashem can resolve.
I don’t mean obvious murderers,like in the Kletzky case. I mean where are a person’s guilt remains to be proven.
It affected me so deeply, that to this day, when I see a person being “cuffed”, or shmeared in the press, my first instinct is “I bet they’re innocent”.Obviously, many are quite deserving of punishment, but at least I know that I don’t really know.
It turns me off when people decide that Jews in these types of non-abuse situations are guilty.
I hate to shock you, but I was, at one time, accused of horrific and absurd things that did not have even a SHRED of truth to them. And what do you know?? The further away people lived, and the less they knew, the more SURE they were that the rumors were true. I think that judging others harshly – with “pseudo-facts” only – reflects poorly on the decisor.
That story really bothered me. Thank you for sharing the good news.
May all the other innocent Jews be released as well.
they say if you want something done you ask a busy person
I vote for Goq…no one’s ever mad at him so there won’t be any “politics”
Syag Lchochma….Hashem is very patient…even with resha’im…
I thought I was answering your question. My son got married in Israel this year,b”h.I let the family who LIVED there make those decisions, agreed with them about the date,and helped in whatever ways I was able. “Norm” is what makes both sides happy,is not outrageous or unreasonable,and makes sense based on who lives where,etc.
When someone hurts your children it’s not so simple.
Just did that. Wasn’t makpid on a thing and it was a peaceful and enjoyable experience for all:)And when I helped my sister get married, anything extra the other side wanted that there was no money for, they paid for.We were lucky to deal with Baalei Midos,it’s true, but please remember: peace is paramount. Had they insisted on fitted orange gowns, I may have argued, but what else matters that much besides the chosson and kallah being happy?
notasheep – nice ideas!!
Good life = health, children, friends, joy,a Torah life, and being abuse-free at last.
It’s not defined by ongoing money struggles, or any kind of perfection; no one has it all. No one. We must believe that.
am yisrael chai: NOT Everyone can be forgiven, I agree. The few who were DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for terrible, irreparable damage, and not just “auxilliary” chess pieces in the game,I leave to Hashem, but there’s nothing whatsoever to base mechila on.
And those who say “forgive them for yourself”, are confusing Torah and Christianity.Should we move forward, and live life to the fullest? YES!!!
But certain evil deeds are simply unforgiveable. You just try not to dwell on it, so you can enjoy the good life you finally have.
Oh Shreck – Truth is, Hashem has been supporting us all along, and Hashem is a pleasure to deal with!! (k’vyochol)
Child Support and Messiah are connected?! Maybe because some of us will only be supported properly when Moshiach comes?:):)
As a relative of a drinker…..really bad idea!!!
Strengthen your faith, and simply laugh at how disastrous it was with a friend…NO hang-over, guaranteed. And you won’t kill the next day.
If the questions are “already out there” and this guy has the WRONG answers, what purpose does he serve?
Letters are #1. Even texting or e-mailing your love/gratitude will be appreciated, although hand-written letters are always more special.
(and are not accidentally “deleted”!)
I understand, I just feel it’s dangerous territory upon which to tread. Or near, for that matter. Imagine if someone wrote a slanderous letter about you or a loved one, posing many fantastic questions, yet arriving at horribly inaccurate and libelous conclusions — about you or your loved one. Would you ever distribute that letter? Would you encourage people to read it, with the disclaimer: Great questions, just ignore the answers; they’re so OFF. I think not:)
Torah613Torah: Thank you! I was going to recommend the same book, “9 to 5”.It covers almost every possible scenario that can occur in the workplace and beyond. There is also a comprehensive book “Guidelines” on the general laws of Yichud that is very clear.
And engaging in discussion with an “intelligent” apikoras is even more dangerous than a foolish one! Think about it…
An apikoras is THE ONE PERSON WE ARE PERMITTED TO SPEAK LOSHON HORA ABOUT. A person who causes even a seed of doubt in another Jew as to whether Torah is 100% truth deserves nothing but scorn. Sometimes, the simpler the Jew, the more pure his faith is.
jewishfeminist02…well-written. It sounds like you are talking, and I love expressive writing!
And the way to stay calm is to HAVE SUPPORT, either with you when you address her (preferred) or behind the scenes. SUPPORT = COURAGE.
She doesn’t need to take outright abuse; it will make her MORE tense with her kids. Easier said than done but: try asserting yourself with a smile (not a smirk) on your face. If she doesn’t take you seriously, then complain formally. A word of caution: ZERO EMOTION. Also, much easier said than done.
There are bochurim who enjoy this kind of work and do it for less.
COJO has a great teacher. At least they did in 2007.
