I personally would allow my daughter to be “read” to a talmid or alumnus of YU.

Does anyone know if they are generally frum/good guys? As with any other yeshiva bachur you have to do your “due diligence”.

wolky: If you follow the topic you will see Joseph made a direct comment to CTLAWYER about Italian made suits. CTLAWYER answered back that he doesn’t wear those types of suits as he wears different ones. He had every right to answer back. So yes, this discussion as it started may not have included him; another poster got him involved.

send a comment and tell the moderator not to post it that it’s for his/her eyes only. I did that once before when I had an issue and he answered me directly.

LU: I am perplexed because I don’t see where she was defending her school or Principal. Was it this comment from the “ankle high shoe” topic?

“she actually told us “go ahead, wear them at home, on sunday, whenever you want just not in school where i can see you!” She is really not my style!”

or this one from the first post of this thread?

“what motivated you to stay even though you hate every minute of it and noone in your school understands how much you hate every second and you just want to get out of there right this second and you come home crying every day and you just CAN’T STAND ANOTHER SECOND IN THAT **** place?”

or these posts?

“I would love to switch schools and i’ve made it known to everyone but my parents refuse to hear about it! “

“my principal who agreed that there’s nothing to do about bing miserable and i just have to stick it out but why should i?”

The Rav of my shul looked at this issue from a different perspective. Does a ger/giyores still have a mitzvah of kibbud av vaeim? Do we know what happened in the private conversations between the President and his daughter and SIL? No, we don’t. So before we say why did they put themselves into a possible situation where they may need to be driven on shabbos, we would need to know answers to many other questions. Hopefully all those questions and answers were told over to whomever they spoke to.

The chassidishah girls schools in BP give the girls off on Erev Shabbos and have school on Sunday.

LU: Really? Ask my daughters if I understand teenage girls!

This started in a different topic where JA asked about the type of shoe and if her principal’s rule about not wearing it in school should be adhered to. The same posters went back and forth with some advising that not listening to the principal is not an aveirah. JA noted there her “break the rules approach”. (Side note: JA did not post anything there in “text” speak.) I brought that up that comment in this topic and she backtracks (at first) by stating :”inside i’m rebellious as they come but on the outside, i usually look lk the typical “Bais Yaakov Maidel””.

I make my harsh statement and she backtracks again: “What i mean to say is that when u c me walking down the streets in lkwd, i do look lk a “Bais Yaakov Maidel” but in skwl i’m considered a rebel cuz e.o. there knows the rules and i don’t follow them”.

She then starts another topic why are girls are sent to the same school as their sisters and boys do are not sent to the same school as their bothers.

IMHO, she needs to sit with her parents and discuss this, not rely on us “yentas” (including me) here in the CR.

zd: it is not the shoes….it is the statement JA wrote in that thread: “Personally, i’m the type of kid who likes to break rules and i consider it my duty to do so and make sure that everyone knows it!”

You wouldn’t possibly consider someone with this attitude might be termed “rebellious”?

b1g B0y: it may help if we knew who you were directing your comment to.

ZD: I agree with you that most if not all “right wing” yeshivos try to push all students into the proverbial “cookie cutter mold” even if they don’t fit. Unfortunately not everyone has the seichel that R Shlomo Freifeld TZATZAL had to reach his talmidim on their level. Being slightly non-conformist may be tolerable and if that’s the case other students may be understanding.

However, when one is totally acting in a rebellious manner (basing my comment on what JA has stated previously) the other students tend to shy away from one who they think is a “troublemaker”.

53 of 57 comments were from 5 years ago when Yallili just gained popularity…they weren’t very well known yet

Hail made of both fire and ice; two things that normally do not co-exist together.

The tefilla before taking medicine is found in Shulchan Aruch Orech Chaim Reish Lamed Sif Daled and Mishna Brura Sif koton vav. YHI ROTZON MELIFFANECHAH H-SHEM ELOKAI SHEHYEHEY EISEK ZEH LI LEREFUAH KI ROFAY CHINAM ATAH.

At this point it doesn’t make a difference. It is for sure past the time of digestion and even if a brocha was required (and may not need one as mouthwash is not a drink) it can’t be made now.

I don’t look to impress friends and neighbors nor do they look to impress us. We receive milk and donuts. Milk and cookies, herring and crackers, various snacks with a soda. We overlook that all one has to give is two food items. For years I have asked my wife to do chicken soup with lokshen.

CTLAWYER gave s great list which generally applies to bigger shules. Most of those are not available in the smaller shteiblach that you would find in Flatbush/Boro Park.

In the Young Israel shul where so grew up it was known as the Soncino Chumash.

one year we gave a roll, 4 oz package of deli and a soda.

LB: You wrote The prevalent Minhag is to start off lighting two candles, and to add an additional candle for each subsequent child that is born to the family, e.g. a family with four children lights six candles.

True, but there is also a common minhag (and I don’t know the source) that when a woman starts having children, and she is home, lights an odd number of candles. So when she has her second child she lights five candles; a third child it remains at five candles; a fourth child seven candles and so on.

Since when has our motto become “it’s ok to break the rules”? Are we not bothered by JA’s comment “Personally, i’m the type of kid who likes to break rules and i consider it my duty to do so and make sure that everyone knows it! “

Sorry, but IMHO, you need to change your priorities.

Years ago I wore a certain type of yarmulke. My parents were called by the principal and were told that the yeshiva had a rule on the types of yarmulkes the yeshiva allowed. So my parents went out and bought those type of yarmulkes.

JA: so you purposely want to break the rules of the school? And you think your correct in doing that?

ZD; breaking the yeshivas rules may not be an aveirah but it sure is not a mitzvah either!

Yes US letter size. I didn’t have a ruler or tape measure.

I see that they certify Kefir but it does not say cholov yisroel.

You may want to ask a shailoh if she has to wait 90 days from the date of the divorce to start in the shidduch process again.

They did not move all the divisions so the community is still there.
