Harotzeh, first of all I’m talking about modern schools which charge 20,000$ and do send.kids home if they cant afford it. Second of all where did you get that 40% of aschools budget is tuition?? Buddy I’ve worked in these schools before, trust me they would charge even more for tuition but they want some people to attend. I’m telling you in 10 years from now, these schools will be forced to cut their rates.
Ahh classic yeshivas.. they care more about money thatn a child being Jewish. 10 years from now they’re going to be forced to lower their tuition rates Bc this generation has no.money
First of all there definitely was a spitted. None of you understand what these extremists are trying to do. They are having between 10-15 children and need more places to live. They want to and eventually will make bet shemesh the next meashea rim. Their rabbonim don’t approve of their acts, but their.main concern is the end result.
Barshattya- What kid would want to be sent away? He has.his.family and.friends at home. Ask the kid what he wants to.do! Most kids I know who were sent away during highschool, went way off the derech Bc of the too much freedom they had.
I think its disgusting.when parents send their.children away during highschool! The kid should have afamily to come to everyday not just for he holidays!!
The kid is 9 years old! Who would want to sit in shul for 3 hours at that age?? I know I didn’t! Let him run around with his friends and play outside. If you want him to daven shema and shmoneh esrai, fine.. but to make him stay in shul without a bribe is torture!!
I’d love to show this thread to my cousin’s wife.. She’s a big time talmud of Rabbi Weiss!!
If you’re soo shtark then don’t watch the maccabeats video! Noones forcing you to watch it!!
Yes I know one very well. He didn’t work on Shabbos but had to work Sundays instead. Good Luck!
Yea, Obama is president!
These women are living in a different world. I saw an article about one of them; how they won’t let their husband come home from kollel until 11:30 pm so he won’t see his 12 year old daughter in pajamas. That’s ridiculous! These women are like kids who go to Israel after high school and flip out and take on all of these stringencys. Hopefully just like these “flip outs” flip in when they return to America, so will these crazy taliban women.
Rabbi Lamm is a talmid chachim, so please don’t bash him. I can’t believe there’s even an argument here about Touro or YU. Nobody will tell you that Touro is a better school, because it’s just not. YU has a better ranking (#45 overall) Touro is an easier school and that’s why people who want to learn all day can go there because they don’t have to put too much effort into it. YU does have learning also, so you have to be somewhat smart to do the double curriculum there because the secular studies are very demanding too. The hashkafa of YU is definitely needed in our World, to work and learn; many people forget that they have to work also. Yes there are non-religous Jews at YU but overall it’s a Jewish enviroment, plus Touro has goyim!
Everyone copies everyone else. If you don’t, you get put in cheirum until you conform
Yes!! The past 2 times I checked the coffee room from my blackberry the screen went blank and I had to restart it. I think it’s time I get a new blackberry
Popa- I know you’re a moderator and I mean no offense by this, but in the real world, we don’t use the word “retarded.” Please stop using this word, it’s really offensive, and I’m going to leave the coffee room if the mods allow this word to be used.
I don’t understand how the mods let you get away with this nonsense..
they have verrrry nice homes!!
If you’re in yeshiva and that’s what you plan on doing the rest of your life and your parents insist you go to college, then go to touro. That’s why a lot of people go there, because their parents want them to go to college. They don’t really care about a degree and neither do their rebbeim. But if you want a good education and have a job after college, then I’d say go to YU.
Health- It’s not Motzei sheim ra, we’re trying to help people who think touro and YU are equal in their level of academics and recognition in the real world.
Listen, Abella asked where they should go.. My opinion is if you want a good education and have a career after college then go to YU. That’s my opinion.. I had rebbeim in Israel who were very against YU and told me it was kefirah.. But end of the day I had to make my own decision.. I never even heard of Touro until I went to Israel for the year.
Pashcha; YU is a much better school academically! My friends at Touro were never told to go get an internship because if you didn’t you wouldn’t find a job after school. Have you been to a touro career fair?? It’s a joke! My friends have tried to apply to jobs on company websites, and when they ask what school your from, Touro isn’t even on the drop down lists of schools, you have to write it in other. There’s no comparison between the two!
DO NOT GO TO TOURO!! I REPEAT DO NOT GO THERE!! IF YOU WANT A JOB OUT OF COLLEGE, GO TO YU!! I Have a lot of friends who went to Touro and can’t find work!! Unless you can work for your parents or you have good connections, do not go to touro!!!
If one wears a white shirt, he’s shtark. If one wears a colored shirt, there’s something off. I’m just kidding, color of shirt means absolutely nothing. People made a big deal out of it because that’s what we like to do.. But in reality as long as your son is dressed nicely and presentable, he could wear a pink shirt for all I care
I don’t know about Yerushalayim being the best city in the World. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely the holiest and there are fun things to do there, but it does get boring after a while. Ben Yehuda is fun but for how long. I think New York and Miami are the best cities in the World. There’s soo much to do there
Mikehall- I don’t know if you knew this, but the Israeli government ISN’T RELIGOUS!! They do what they want!! Plus they did it on Shabbos!!
Because it costs more money with texting part of the plan
I don’t know what weddings you go to, but the weddings I attend(Some very religious, some not)the smorgasbord is for everyone, and only the men can go into the chosson’s tisch, where the booze is. You should be asking yourself this; if a wedding doesn’t have an open bar, then why is it fair that only the men get to drink because they can go to the chosson’s ticsh where the booze is, but the women are only allowed to go to the shmorg??
Chickensforshabbos.com- its a soup kitchen in Israel, its so easy to donate. Just go on this website.
Or another one I give to is a girl’s orphanage in Israel, go to levlalev.org, and it’s also easy to donate!
Maaser is a huge mitzvah, good luck and you should see a lot of reward from it!!
It makes no sense to me why Israel was every allies with those Turks!! I guess with friends like these, who needs enemies? It’s all up to the U.S anyways. If America tells Turkey to stop acting like 5 year olds, then they’ll listen. If not, then Turkey should burn!!
Byanonymous- Wait a second! You’re father just started working???? How did he support your family while you were growing up?? Something doesn’t make sense here!
Michael Jackson bleeding
It’s a very mature thing to not take money from your parents and pay for things on your own. You’re obviously more mature and more responsible than your peers and that is a great thing! I stopped taking money from my parents a few years ago, and it’s a great feeling. I can live my own life with out being controlled by anyone. Also I am ten times more mature and responsible than my friends who are “spoiled” and get what ever that want. You’re doing a great thing, more teenagers should be like you!
