    I just heard people saying that the Earthquake in Japan is a punishment to the Japanese for what they have done/are doing to the Bachurim in prison.

    The same guy commented that the earthquake in New Zealand was a punishmment for them banning shechita.

    I can believe it.

    Au Contraire. The normal NK’ers are the original’s who follow in the footsteps of the founding tzadik R. Amram Blau zt’l. The nuts going to the Arabs were never the official reps and just latched unto the NK name.

    She should encourage him (note: not become his mashgiach) to go to sleep earlier, and learn more during the morning and daytime.

    A store cannot “charge whatever they want”. Chalie Hall got that part right, about how much a store may charge.

    Has anyone here’s grandmother, even once, nursed in public (including covered up)? I sincerely doubt it. I doubt even the goyim of that generation were wont to do so. How did they manage?

    Thank You.

    What else does training in this field entail? And how much time should one expect to invest in training?

    Not giving someone tzedaka is a much bigger loss to the donor than to the recipient.

    I believe a better idea would be after killing them (execution or a commando hit) to take their bodies and bury it with a pig. In Muslim law being buried with a pig nullifies their afterlife that they are seeking (with 70 women or anything else).

    truth be told: I don’t think msseeker disagrees with you that the NK are very wrong. And go against the gedolim. Even someone “well-intentioned” can go far off the correct path.

    But that being said, let’s put things into perspective. What they do is wrong, but it doesn’t kill anyone. It is bad P.R. Can you tell me what the greatest damage their actions cause, in your opinion? It makes us look bad. But what the Zionists do is far far worse and costs lives.

    mikehall: I said it was very wrong. But tell me, by them going to that conference, it made us look bad and is NOT justifiable – but who died as a result of them going there? Who lost limbs as a result?

    When a non religious JEW violates Shabbos, it brings the wrath of Hashem upon US. WE are ALL Jews – religious or not.

    WMBB: Your apology was accepted for telling me to “read” (in capital letters) that you wrote “????? ???”, when that was not what you originally wrote.

    BTW, how does this board member “know” that these families are not honestly unable to afford additional tuition, and “knows” that they have an insufficient amount of ????? ????

    I agree with jewishness, msseeker, rebdoniel, truth be told, and observanteen. The Neterei Karta may be wrong but what they do is annoying but harmless; the Zionists are evil and what they do results in Jews being killed.

    Apology accepted.

    As to your (new) original question, if the point being made by the board member is to question whether these children should be accommodated with this resource room, then he is mad for the reasons I outlined in my initial responses. If the point of the board member was to simply wonder if there is a correlation between parents not having the proper ????? ??? and their children needing special resources as a result of them also neglecting their children’s needs, perhaps there is. But I don’t see what the board of directors can do about the latter scenario.

    HaLeiVi: You must read things in context, and follow the conversation, prior to commenting. Nothing to do with a couple of months, but rather his daily commute. As you can see from our initial conversation above, I was responding to his comment of (quote) “I have found it much easier (relaxing and enjoyable if such words could be used to describe a commute) to sit next to non jewish females than males of any religion.”

    If “they didn’t put much effort into their advertising” it probably means they’re more focused on helping the needy than helping an advertising agency.

    My mother, AH, was niftar 3 days before my scheduled chasuna. The mesader kiddushin paskened that the wedding could be held after sheloshim and that it was permissable to have a band.

    The wedding was postponed until immediately after shloshim?

    My father sat shiva when I got married. (Makes me sad to think about it.)

    He was allowed to attend my wedding with certain limits and Halachos. My Sheva Brachos he wasn’t allowed to attend until Shiva was over.

    What limitations did he have at the Chasuna?

    WMBB: I am not a mod. You’re pre-edited OP was on the board before you edited it. I saw it. Then you edited it, which I saw thereafter. The question is why were you dishonest in challanging my initial response to you in this thread, when you knew I correctly responded to what you posted and you pretended you said “families” and “????? ???” when you did not?

    Okay, I believe WMBB edited his OP from referring to children with tuition issues to now stating families with tuition ????? ??? issues. That is slightly less harsh, but my above response still stands. Children shouldn’t pay the price for the parents sins.

    No child has tuition issues. Some parents may, but no child does. To punish a child for a parent is unconscionable, regardless whether the parent is truly poor and unable to afford full tuition or is negligent.

    this is going so back and forth. maybe we should just agree everyone has their own things to go by.

    You mean some people go with Chazal and some folks do their own thing?

    A. We are not talking about judging; we are talking about trusting. The Chazal cited by DY discusses trusting.

    B. We are not talking about men; we are talking about children.

    Chazal mean that I shouldn’t trust myself, not that I shouldn’t trust someone else.

    Are you kidding? You can’t trust yourself with the danger, but Chazal would say you can trust your children with it?

    To reiterate Daas Yochid’s citation from Pirkei Avos:

    Don’t trust in yourself, until the day of your death.

    I agree. It’s not just common sense. The Torah itself allows a person to open a business for parnassa, even if he worked in the same industry for someone else earlier.

    no if some guy has a problem with it then that guy shouldnt go. but there are other men who do not have such issues and have no problem going!

    There are men who don’t have such issues!? Wow! I have yet to meet such a man. I think it was Rav Yisroel Salanter zt”l who said to talmid, when he was 80 something years old, partially blind, and walking with a cane that even HE has such issues!

    cherrybim:

    If you think it is inappropriate for a Merril employee to quit the firm and open his own competing financial firm, or any similar scenario whether it is with a multinational corporation or a heimisha mom-and-pop shop, I think you are disagreeing with the common sense of 99% of the population. There are not too many people who will fault such a person for going in to business for himself rather than remaining an employee for someone else. Nor will 99% of companies hold it against them. I would venture to say most major corporations today were founded by entrepreneurs who were previously employed by competing firms.

    bpt – I wholeheartedly agree with your admonishment for Mother in Israel regarding the inappropriateness of her doing that in public.

    Mayan – The wedding ring is only applicable for a woman. And even then, how would you know if it is a wedding ring or just stam a plain ring. I’m not sure how style of dress/loud colors is relevant to this point.
