Mr. Chuck:

Obviously you are very hurt by what I said. That was not the purpose, and I take it all back.

Yes my boss does not mind, I have mentioned this before. It is a good question.

At least the shadchan got the correct response in the end

notpashut:

Since you offered, I would like to see the list of 100 “Gedolai Olam” who are Machmir on being Mevaze members of Klal Yisroel who as R’ Weinberg said are “Tinok Shenishba”.

I just believe most of the “Charaidi Olam” (the Gedolim, not the Kanoiim) are Maikil in this as well, so I will not “Bash” anyone (sad such a good word should be used in a bad way!:-)

Please attach mekoros. I have seen Rishonim misquote each other, so don’t take it personally.

Potato Latkes: There is time to make them on Chanukah, so they are fresh when you eat them. There is no time on Purim to bake Hamantaschen, so you have to bake them before Purim and they are not fresh out of the oven on Purim.

I will ask that a certain person/blogger who only criticizes and does not respond when that is refuted or asked for a reason or proof please not post anything.

You are one of the subjects of my post about guidelines (personal criticism), and are the personification of a Troll.

Thank you.

Note to mod: understood if not posted, but I had to try. It disrupts intelligent conversation.

The economics angle has not yet been disscussed, which is why the letter is worthwhile.

The issue is not more learners, C’V. May we have such problems in Klal Yisroel!

The problem is becoming similar to that at the time of the second Beis Hamikdosh, i.e. the Pharasees vs. everyone else.

We know where that ended, the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash.

The Chiddush of the letter is that having a job is also a “job” needed in Klal Yisroel. It should not be dismissed as “not being important” or unworthy.

After all, don’t Chazal say “al Shlosha dvorim Haolam omed, Kesef, Mammon & Gelt”? 😉

I admit ignorance. Perhaps a 5T person who has children in HS or BM in Darchei (or your cousin) can answer that.

SJSinNYC:

Darchei teaches AP’s, doesn’t ask if you own a TV, but doesn’t allow / discourages college in BM. I think they don’t want to place a label on themselves, which is a good thing for a community school (had some friends who left there and joined me in BM due to the no college issue).

“Non-observant Jews are captives to their upbringing, prisoners to the powerful and enticing society around them. They are not potential baalei tshuva, for they have never consciously left Torah. No, my friends, they are all tinokot shenishbu, Jewish souls that were stolen at infancy and denied access to their rightful heritage.”

Rav Noach Weinberg

You quoted it

Sitting on a roof with a fiddle.

now thats Tradition!

veyatziv:

If they ask, yes (they wiil ask anyone!), but to assume I have because I work (which they do (and say so!)), then no.

Nobody:

“Those who are envious say things like this. Everyone should mind their own business and leave people be.”

As before, (quoting someone) you have proved yourself to ba a somebody.

brooklyn19:

Still no “no”, huh?

You and notpashut get away with much that I don’t get way with, so I suspect.

Please post this. you can always change your name (again?)

Better than starting a new topic.

There has been much talk about this in the recent days. When should a school close due to lack of money, if ever?

Should the parents make the decision? The teachers? The board?

What is a school supposed to do if there is just no money? Close?

Mrs. shindy:

I am treading on eggshells here, and I am not claiming to understand your pain.

I only hope that we can learn from our joint past experiences so that we can have the outcomes we would like to have in the future.

The example which I brought is a real example (with the admonisher (a teacher) using the actual English word, which the Mod would rightfully delete). It has turned this person off from the love of Judaism, even though she/he goes through most of the motions (for various reasons). I can only hope it will be corrected over time.

That is why I shared this. Others should not make the same mistake, and if they see someone else doing this they should try to vacciniate the receiver from the effects.

I would hope others could do the same, so that I can learn what not to do. It is so hard to raise a child these days, I would hate to not have all tools possible.

Joseph:

Yasher Koach!

Just one question. Is there any Mekor that long hair is “over made up”? It(in general) doesn’t seem to be vs. an updo (al la Mrs. Palin), which is a short braid.

Also, is hair allowed to be made up for Simchos?

If anyone else has Mekoros for the rest of the list, please post them.

C”V I would accuse a Yid of an outright lie; if you say you are not a mod I will leave it at that.

Brisk Mir Lakewood or you aint first rate

It’s the old story with Adam and Chava and touching the tree. Halacha is not Chumra is not Minhag.

Telling someone that there is a “din vchesbon” (meaning something hot, even if you don’tsay as such, they know thats what you mean) for anything not done to according to your standards is a quick way to get kids disillusioned; I know from first hand experience. Telling them that it is beneath a ben/bas Torah and they are better then that is much more effective.

Its a Gemorah Bava Basra 22a & Bava Kama 82b that women require cosmetics to be avalible so that they should be beautiful for their husbands
