I can’t believe no one even bothered to explain the issue of Jeans. While I am not neccessarily sure myself where I stand on the issue, this is how it goes: 1rst of all Jeans are sort of rough and tumble, casual…the idea is that Yeshiva Bochurim should look respectable, upperclass, neat… while there is nothing wrong with the casual look, and its certainly not “evil” most yeshivas and yeshivish people feel its not appropriate for everyday and doesn’t keep within the respectable neat image they want to portray. Personally I feel that the casual look should be reserved for the summer, and camp or hiking.
2nd of all, there is a certain look/attire that yeshiva boys have that makes them fit in with the group and look like a yeshiva boy. This includes a white shirt black pants, maybe a black hat… it really depends on the crowd and yeshiva. So if your son is coming from a crowd where its not the standard mode of dress to wear jeans, it seems quite obvious that he’s trying to stand out and look a little “cooler”. If your ok with that, no problem but be aware that it probably won’t end there. If he is looking for attention from the cooler crowd he will most likely start doing other things you may not approve of.
Good luck!
we all know how to lose weight the real question is how to keep it off…. the only way is to do a “diet” thats not a diet but a complete lifestyle change… if ur gunna do southbeach or wtvr, not allowed to eat this and that and white flour and depriving yourself its NOT going to last a lifetime. that means you’ll gain it all back plus more to make up for the deprivation you felt while you dieted. The real answer is choose a healthy balanced plan that is simple (not an abnormal amount of preperateion) or too much of one type of food and none of another… weight watchers is a very good program. but regardless of what the plan is, you need to make a change in your head not your body. because its your mind that is causing you to be fat not your body. change your thinking long term, lifestyle change and youll succeed and not gain it all back like you have done so many times….

these letter writers are not writing in so that you could give them advise on how to handle themselves i.e. switch shuls.. they are trying to promote an awareness of existing problems!!! No we dont have to dress like Meah Shearimniks… becauses yes that is extreme!! but there is a problem that we have to face…
as far as alcohol……..who needs it??? I dont think its that much different then drugs… you drink it, you get a high, you overdose….YOU DIE!!
