Is your wife on imamother?

Gofundme -Easier to clarify intent to the public and advertise I would think.

I wonder why eBay was chosen as the platform. Then again he may have used multiple sites and only this one had controversy. Or maybe he already had an eBay account and figured it was worthwhile opportunity or risk for a good cause. Or eBay would be more private and give him more control over who sponsors and for how much.

I presume that he had a great need and was limited in local outlets or options.

It may embarrass him to have so many people attack his motives and actions. I’m guessing it hurts to be publicly shamed. Either way that part at least is against halacha.

Unless one wants to argue that he is descecrating the Torah and this needs to be publicly shunned, maybe if anything they could have rewarded his creativity.

It doesn’t sound like there is any scam here. Maybe it is against halacha because we’re not supposed to profit from Torah. And eBay is a commerce site. EBay sellers are small business owners.

If there was something much bigger to report at the time, would the news sites still publish this story?

Even if there aren’t so many frum women in Touro’s pharmacy classes, maybe Touro still has a stronger and more empathetic support system in place to guide tznius through any related struggles?

Advisors or counselors professionally equipped to handle uniquely frum circumstances or issues.

The professors may also be more supportive and/or better mentors for her Yiddishkeit growth

Joseph, yes please ask your wife to meet me in London so we can go to EY and meet LU where your wife will give us brachas to marry our zivugs this year according to the only perfect approach. Thank you.

Bump – 5yr thread

Dunno if the Rebbe said that. A couple shluchim may say that. Yet not all shluchim believe or teach in that way.

Up until the most recent years, I had no clue that there was any controversy about the Rebbe.

It does make me feel better now to know that I can pray and talk directly to Hashem and it’s just as valuable and heard.

CTLAWYER congratulations!

You just won CR’s 2016 Coolest Cook Contest 🙂

Have you never been in a situation where someone spills words in the room and things just get tense? That’s happened to me before. I didn’t invite it, feed it, or want it but it just came in there and the best thing to do was just leave.

Hence, walking away from threads.

I’m laughing so hard right now. I have never seen that before. But I can imagine it so clearly.

I also feel guilty because last week I walked into shul for a Torah class. They didn’t have a class that day but I still wanted to give my tzadakah money that I brought.

So I was talking to the Rabbi and asked a guy where the tzadakah box was. Another rabbi was davening when that guy came up and took the tzadakah box near the davening rabbi to give to me. I had a bill and the box was leather so for whatever reason it seemed easier to open the lid and stick it in.

I felt bad for interrupting the rabbi’s davening. Then felt weird like I violated the tzadakah box’s boundaries by opening the lid directly to insert the bill.

Anyone exposed to the Internet can also be automatically exposed to good things.

If the tabs are set to good pages, such as Torahanytime shiurs, emails with only permissible communications, Skypes with family, Daily parsha readings, the Internet is used in a public place and/or moderated way by another party, then why does it have to be bad?

Anyone who doesn’t use the Internet can also be exposed to bad things.

I learned that I was so much safer after getting my smartphone. I used to ask random people for directions when I got lost. I relied on and trusted on aquiantances for information because I didn’t have the portable means to do it myself.

Now that I have the Internet at my fingertips, I am less exposed to dangers and risky people because I can get the information more safely and directly.

I know posters are more talking about the dangers if going to certain sites, but even if one doesn’t use the Internet, that person may be more dependent on individuals who may have other interests that may not be as good, even if they are peers.

If someone wants to be only good on the Internet and does histadulus, wouldn’t Hashem help?

1yr old thread

“nobody decides to make change from the pushke in the middle of davening. The pushke is not a bank.”

Lol!

Joseph how did you meet your wife?

You have children, correct?

Yes you’re right. Getting married via Craigslist ads (no photos allowed) would be way more tznius.
