I would want to know if I was the girl.
I think you should tell her that you’ve heard that he was engaged before so she should check him out a little more. Don’t mention the other information, unless she asks you directly.
It’s a positive sign. He’s going through an internal struggle and testing you at the same time…continue to keep up the positive attitude with him….as you did before. You need to show him that you love him all the time, no matter how he dresses, not just when he shows some “improvement.”
I agree! I think just a simple thumbs up or thumbs down symbol with a number next to it reflecting how many people “like” or “dislike.” No names, though.
I think out of the 4, Baltimore seems like a good fit. There are quiet a number of boys schools, large and small, so your husband can find a good fit to teach at. There is Ner Yisroel and a number of smaller yeshivos and kolellim. Baltimore has a large BT population and they are well integrated into the community, same schools, shuls, neighborhoods) Baltimore is an inexpensive place to live and there are quite a few job opportunities, particularly in healthcare and in government jobs (Social security has a huge campus). The special needs children have services through SHEMESH (they have a website) which integrates kids into the classroom and other organizations. Tuition may be a little more expensive than in NY, but everything else will be cheaper(house, taxes,gas (not by much). There are scholarships available to many schools generously funded by the ASSOCIATED. Baltimore is a very warm, growing community that is characterized by a sense of achdus that is not commonly seen in other places.
How about a “like” feature for people’s posts in the coffee room (not linked to FB please because some people don’t have it).
NOT FUNNY
It’s a play on words, which can be used in humor, but it’s not funny in this situation, because it’s too serious a situation.
write or wrong – if you decide to request that he wear black and white (I’m still under debate if you should) do not make it a religious thing. Say that it’s a family celebration and people dress up, so he should wear a suit…leave it at that. Don’t insist on black and white. He’s trying to express himself differently now. If he only has black and white in his closet, then that’s what he’ll wear if he decides to dress up.
Just a reminder about how a teenager’s brain works – sometimes if you notice them doing something “good” that they don’t usually do or haven’t done in a while, they may hesitate to do it again…they may purposely not do something if you tell them to do it.
Cancer is NOT a fungus.
Cancer happens when normals cells become abnormal and therefore cannot carry out the proper function of a cell. The abnormal cells also multiply very quickly, which is partly why cancer is so hard to beat. The immune system is not strong enough or quick enough to combat all the cells. Similar situation with HIV, except it’s a virus.
“My son does not feel that the intense yeshiva environment is beneficial to him right now, so he is taking a break and going to a more relaxed yeshiva.”
if they are more aware of the situation, you can say “We are in constant contact with Rabbanim and therapists, davening hard, and we are hopeful he will be back to his old self again.
I think it should be about loving every Jew. Many of the current problems that we are are partly or directly affected by sinas chinam.
Then what happens if he tells you that he’s going to a dangerous place? what would you say? maybe it’s better not to know…
write or wrong – I have been following this thread and my heart goes out to you. You sound like such a wonderful mother and I can tell that you really love your son.
Mom12 – You mentioned lithium oratate, which is derived from lithium. Lithium is a mood stabilizer used for patients with bipolar disorder. It has a very narrow therapeutic range and toxicity can happen very easily. Toxicity leads to coarse tremors, to a coma, and to death. People who are prescribed lithium have their blood levels checked every 2 weeks. I do not think it’s a good idea to take anything derived from lithium without speaking to a medical professional.
The choice of words helps you express what you are trying to get across. The right choice of words is important to make sure your ideas are not misunderstood.

I agree with you though, “falling in love” is not the way.
Bowwow- I just saw your post…
yitayningwut – there is a difference between being “in love” and “falling in love.” The latter sounds very transient and baseless to me.
Yekke- I think the “love” that our avos had is not the “love” that we understand today. He may have saw her neshama and “loved” what he saw.
oomis1105 – very well put.
Sleep before. Try not to bring too much food, cuz you may end up eating. Also, bring something to do (like something to study) because it’s definitely quieter than day shift.
Ohr Somayoch used to be only kiruv, but now (definitely in the E”Y branch) there are plenty of good guys – FFBs – that go there. I’m not sure if the Monsey branch is only kiruv or both.
I was not mocking you. I’m just curious.
What does Mashiach signing the scroll have to do with Mashiach being revealed?
Why will you not relate the history of the scroll?
I am in nursing school, and as part of my obstetrics clinical rotation, we visited a birth center. We also watched videos about home birth.
Birth centers are required to be within a certain amount of miles from a hospital. If there is an emergency, mother and child can be ambulanced to the hospital. The birth center that I visited, had a hospital about 10 minutes away. The atmosphere is very homelike. All the equipment is stored away until it is ready to be used. They have an isollete, a crash cart, and closets with supplies for IVs, and such. They do not have fetal monitoring. The good thing about birth centers are that they are very flexible and provide many options.
The care providors in birth centers are generally Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), advanced practice nurses with masters degrees who provide general OB/GYN services. CNMs are licensed to deal with low risk births only!!!!
Home births, in my opinion, are nice, but not safe.
Responsibility!
Health – I am more comfortable using a butterfly for blood draws. I am fairly new on the job and this works best for me. I guess this means I am incompetent. I would rather use a butterfly than torture my patients with a needle and vacutainer. So, until I gain competence, I will continue using a butterfly. I hope you are ok with that. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Since HKBH wants him dead anyway, is he allowed to fulfill God’s will by taking his own life?
If he is commiting suicide because he is unhappy with his life, then the answer is no.
If he is a perfect Amaleiki goy, keeps all the sheva mitzvos bnei noach etc. and understands that it’s G-d’s will that he should be killed by Jews, then the answer is still no.
Probably, it is better for the person in the above situation to ask a jew to kill him. Then I think it would be ok.
But first, he must really be sure that he is indeed Amaleiki.
Bees: Honey (for rosh hashana)
Cows: Milk, cheese
Ants: teach us diligence
Look in perek shira for more ways animals teach us lessons
Karbanos! (main reason for kosher animals- people didn’t originally eat meat)

Beauty and diversity of the world – millions of species
animals used in wars – horses, elephants

I heard that in the end the time of the game was changed to motzei shabbos.
Purim is a day where tefillah is extra powerful. It’s one of the “hidden” things about the day. It’s a day of laytzanus, which covers up the potential for tefillah.
Here is a listing of some non-Jewish stores that have some sleeveless dresses that would be fine with a shell.

I don’t understand why everyone is attacking this man’s decision.
By the word of Gedolei Yisroel, the entire yeshivish world in E”Y stopped learning Torah to daven for the life of Rav Elyashiv, who is advanced in years. Rav Elyashiv continuing to live was more important at that time than all the Torah in E”Y combined.
This is the greatness of Rav Elyashiv. Whether this story is true or not, the avreich mentioned in the article has made the decision that he made based on his conclusions and it is his choice. We can’t even start to claim that we understand how “giving years of your life to someone else” works.
Please daven for Chaya Esther Bas Faiga Yenta. She is a young mother who just gave birth a few weeks ago. She developed sepsi(infection in the blood) and is now hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit. Her case is extremely serious because she does not have a spleen (she had it removed in the past), which makes it difficult for the body to fight infection.

What about limiting the number of accounts from each ip address?
Sam2 – I agree
I hope you’re ok now cinderella 🙂
I’m sure he can get married – some girls want quiet guys.
I don’t think he should limit himself to talkative girls. It makes sense that a talkative girl will eventually think him too quiet. However, a quieter girl may not think the same way.
Too late.
yid2618 – My sister’s friend went to Ateres. It’s a bais yaakov type school, but it’s not too academic or hashkafik. It has very good girls. I think it’s between seminar and pninim.
There is a halacha against giving gifts to non-jews. However, I believe it is allowed if you will benefit from giving the gift. Maintaining a good relationship is a benefit.
This has happened to me a couple times. Just smile and explain “I don’t shake hands with men for religious reasons but it’s nice to meet you”
In order to eventually do things l’shem shamayim, we have to start somewhere. If doing things for sechar helps us start doing things it’s wonderful because we can use it as a stepping stone for more lofty persuits.
This is scary. It’s scary how much they lump us all together like that. They are seriously watching every move we make. They expect certain things of us as a group. Scary!
Although this guy probably does need some help, I don’t think he’s the only one who thinks this way.
Renew Life organic fiber bars are supposed to be good, although I haven’t personally tasted them. I have been looking into them. Their hechsher is MK (montreal). They are dairy free, but the hechsher says they are dairy (probably DE). Check the MK website to see which flavors are good.
I wish you good mazel!
