I am the one who started this post. I’m just using a new name now because the other one belongs to a family member not me. I now started my own name on here.
Anyway,
@POPA – I too agree with Benaishek. I was just asking the question based on what I heard. I do find it hard to believe that a great person would put an curse on a city for years to come based on an incident he experienced. I also believe we do have to look at ourselves and see what we are doing wrong.
@ ARTCHILL – “As a Chicago resident, you know full well who is being referred to below. Ten years ago a very popular mechanech was publicly embarassed and removed from chinuch without due diligence on the part of the board of directors or the Vaad Hachinuch. There are numerous at-risk kids in Chicago who are livid at what happened.” No I honestly don’t know who is being referred to in the story. Maybe it’s better that I didn’t hear this loshon hara. So obviously, I’m not trying to rehash any situation on this forum or cause any problems.
