good one am yisrael – oy i can’t think of a rhyme – i’m only a beginner
am yisrael – if you were answering me- thanks – i’ll give hubby ur message – but it will have to be a light dinner cuz i’m trying to get thinner.
am yisrael – i don’t chap – please explain – i feel as dumb as an ox 😉
what a great game for the orthodox! 🙂
I thought we were changing the rhyme after 10 posts. so let’s change this before one o’clocks (am ny time)
popa – I do agree that many times it is the parent’s fault. I happen to know a number of families where the children are otd, and i can really see where it comes from — the families. they are either dysfunctional or have numerous other issues. But on the other side of the coin, i know families who are wonderful and don’t have those problems yet a child will go off – sometimes it’s peer pressure or some other problem with that individual child. in those cases, the parents are at a total loss and are really hurting! so to make a general statement and say it’s ALWAYS the parents’ fault, i think, is not really fair. that’s all i’m saying.
oy – papa – ur at it again!!! u just love controversy, don’t you?
Sender – what is this “half shabbos texting” you speak of? never heard of it.
Happiest – we haven’t heard from you again. I hope you’re reading this thread. Please let us know ur ok.
the cr cares about you.
Happiest- i think that usually when ppl say they care, they mean it. but maybe they just don’t know how to go further. you say ppl get frustrated with you and don’t really understand – well maybe the frustration is because they don’t really understand – which is something they can’t help, since they are not experiencing what you are. they probably want to help but don’t know how.
i’m sorry you’re feeling this way. i really hope you feel better soon. i don’t know you personally but yes – I CARE!
“Even by dancing when the kallah sat in the men section and she was trying to talk to him, he looked away with disintrest, it looked strange, rude and mean.”
yes – that does sound very strange! i hoped he’s looked at her since then. otherwise i feel very sorry for her.
deiyezooger – I was just saying the same thing to my family. He was sane enough to hold a job and lead a somewhat normal life. ok – ppl said he was strange. there are a lot of strange ppl around. I do agree that there has to be something wrong with him mentally, but I also think he’s “normal” enough to be held accountable for his horrific actions.
I see there are so many posts on this topic. I admit I did not read all of them in their entirety. So I don’t know if this was mentioned.
I don’t think we will ever know the TRUE story of what happened. Levi Aron could tell whatever story he wants but only Leiby knows what REALLY happened! But unfortunately he is not here to refute Aron’s stories. That is a very sad and tragic part of this case.
Other than Leiby, Hashem is the only one who knows the truth. He will make sure Levi Aron is judged appropriately whether here or in the olam haemes.
Our hearts go out to the Kletzky family.
Wolf – so drop the conversation with shlishi so you can get back on your original topic.
Interesting question – I don’t have an answer – but I’m waiting to hear what others have to say.
i’d like to set up my dodge ram with someone. know any lamborghinis with good yichus?
My family and i were checking YWN all day yesterday hoping for good news. He was in our tefilos. This morning, the first thing i did was check ywn and was so shocked!
We did not know Leiby or his family but feel this loss terribly!
I received this in an email a few moments ago:
Also, please take a minute to:
a) say Tehillim for Yehuda ben Ita Esther and
I posted this because of the advice it gives to check shuls and particularly bathrooms. There are also other places this child may have stayed for the night. All options should be looked into, as I’m sure they are. But sometimes we may not think of certain places.
May Hashem return him home safely.
from now until as long as possible. i would like to say – until they find him alive and well, but i don’t want to make a neder. may he be found soon – alive and healthy.
i got a text saying that a story is going around that he might be kidnapped by someone who is in a fight with his father. has anyone heard this unconfirmed report? if it’s not true, ppl should not be spreading things like that.
i’m pretty sure zk is a girl. she used to be 9 years old. but if she’s all grown up now, she must be 10 😉
um….. what’s a broadway show? 😉
“The only thing left is for parents to educate their kids I don’t care how old they are. a 3 year old is old enough to understand. You explain in simple terms not to go ANYWHERE secluded with ANYONE, even if hes frum and even if he looks like a Rebbe…not into a car not into a room…and that nobody has a right to touch them in places “private places” and if someone tries to then make sure to tell Totty/Daddy and Mommy about it immediately no matter what the man…said.” (quoted from WIY on the prev. page)
That’s EXACTLY what i did when my kids were young – gave them the “talk”. i would tell my son at a young age that when learning in yeshiva or shul, he must stay in the main room with everyone else. even if the rebbe he is learning with says it will be quieter in another room, let’s go in there – always say NO (with respect of course). I told him that hopefully all the rebbeim we know can be trusted but one must always be careful.
I’ve heard too many stories!!! in our community alone, there are many individuals who have been accused and proven guilty of abuse. it’s not as uncommon as many ppl would like to believe. it’s scary!
i give so much credit to all those who have been through it and come through with flying colors. yes – i’m sure the emotional scars will always be there, but the fact that you can get on with your lives is amazing. much hatzlacha to anyone who’s been through it. it’s also amazing that you can alert the public about it. it should NOT be swept under the rug.
how about LYSOL spray? that’s supposed to kill germs. but is it killing us at the same time? i’d really like to know cuz i do use it a lot.
guess i missed it. on which thread did they post?
adorable – hope you have a better week. Good Shabbos to you.
the search option doesn’t work for me either. the only way i can search for old threads, is if i have posted on them. i click on my screen name and check for all the threads i ever posted on. then i can access it.
i also still can’t bold or italicize even though ppl have explained how to do it. oh well.
I had Rebbetzin Kaplan as a teacher. While I had never heard the name Vichna before, she certainly glorified the name. Imagine if nobody had given her respect b/c of her name. Imagine if her husband would have said “I don’t like her name, I’m not marrying her”.
whatrutalkingabt- i hope ur husband doesn’t know ur screen name 🙂
rebbe gershon – sounds kinda shallow to me to turn someone down cuz of her name. does her name mean something bad? or is it just a name you don’t like?
we have cousins in israel named; ayelet hashachar, shaked moria, kana tzion, and tzofia hadassa – and they are all adorable.
cookies – keep us posted. hatzlacha with this. seems like this girl needs help. i hope she gets it.
yolk – oh – that. first of all she’s my daughter’s friend not friend’s daughter – though i am friendly with the mother also.
but anyway – one of their other friends told me and i can tell by some of the things she has written.
yolk – how did i figure what out? (here i go again, being confused. i’m glad the mods aren’t changing my subtitle to “confused”)
anyway, she may be living in monsey now, but she might have originally come from williamsburgh as i heard.
so i’m still wondering if anyone knows her maiden name.
cookies – ur reply was very good. did you tell her that you know who she is? that might shake her up a bit.
for all those who have been posting assuming it’s a “he” – read cookies posts. this is a female from her class.
ursula – well now you know. i do have a son also. i’m sure i’ve mentioned it before. in fact, he’s also on the cr sometimes. anyway, i like your story too.
candy613 – have you tried to figure out who i am yet? or have you never gone back on any threads where i wrote to you? btw – ur story about your little bro is cute.
when my son turned 3 (13 yrs ago), we had a big party because it was his upsherin (he had the most gorgeous long blonde hair – still have it in a bag). anyway, he enjoyed the party and all the attention! the next year, as his 4th birthday was approaching, he excitedly asked “am i having another upsherin party?”
another story. when this same son was 5 yrs. old, we were driving from the midwest (where we live) to new york. i have never driven on the highway, so my husband was doing all the driving. i noticed he was getting tired so i asked if he would like me to take over for a while. suddenly, a little 5 year old voice pipes up from the back of the car… “you’re kidding, right mom?”
HUH??? Why does my first post say “EDITED”? I didn’t write anything else. I’m so confused!!!
ommis – were you talking to me? if so, i don’t get it. i guess i’m really confused tonight. :-O
“Because they might not at all gree with the view that this is a tznius issue or a sensitive issue and are upset with people finding more and more innocent things to call untzniusdig among the many that already are actually untsniusdig. If their actions are tzniusdig, the hoods are not trashy at all.”
oomis – i couldn’t have said it better.
ilovetheholyland – “the only problem is (which freaks me out,) is that on a date, you would NEVER be able to tell that they would say things like this.”
You’re absolutely right! It’s scary to think you could be dating some “amazing” guy and really know nothing about him. what shadchan is going to tell you “he’s really wonderful but he does make fun of ppl who are slow”?
anyway – i hope you and all others who are looking will find your true zivug – the one who is amazing and with TRULY good middos!!!
Wow!!! This is horrible!!! To think these boys are the age for shidduchim!!! I hope none of them are redt for my daughters!!! Too bad it’s Loshon Hora to say these boys’ names so ppl could know to avoid them (except of course the one boy who was nice to him).
I totally agree with amichai – if you know any of them, you should get someone to speak with them. They need mussar quite badly!!!
I posted a little while ago but for some reason it disappeared. Anyway, what i said was:
I am VERY SURPRISED at some of the posts that the moderators let through on this thread. Ex – Popa “Do you have hemorrhoids?” and even more so, cooljude “i’ll just butt out!’ (in response to what popa wrote)
IMHO – i really don’t think comments like that belong here.
I must say that i’m VERY SURPRISED that the mods let some of these posts through. (ex. popa – “Do you have hemorrhoids?”)
I don’t think comments like that belong here. IMHO

oy oy oy! what next? if you’re wearing a “hoodie” you don’t necessarily look trashy. if the sweater is in good condition – ie: not wrinkled, torn, dirty, etc., I see nothing wrong. there are some very nice sweaters and sweatshirts that have hoods. i, myself happen to like them and yes i even own a few. they are very comfortable. and believe it or not – my daughters are not embarrassed to be seen with me when i wear them! believe me, my daughters are very makpid on tznius.
MAZAL TOV to all those who posted great news!!!
IY”H to all those who are waiting to post great news!!!
