Barbers. Bought a haircut set did a 3 on the sides and a 4 for the top on all the kiddos saved over 50 dollars. I was moychel the tip.
Amazing how rabbonim allow 1000’s of dollars to be wasted on mitzvah tanz and yet the regular groups come every morning looking for my quarter by shachris.
Food stamps drive the cost of food up. What would happen to the skirt steak at 12.99 per pound, heimishe cheeses, nosh, chocolates, cakes if it wouldnt be for food stamps it would rot on the shelves.
From someone who is a recent graduate you have to keep a couple of things in mind. Medical School is a full time job.
1. Unless ( no even if} your a genius you will have to study/be involved in med school education on average > 12 hours/day you will flunk out otherwise.
2. From a financial point unless you get into a hotsy totsy specialty the money isnt close to what it used to be (and even then…)
3. From a frum point of view from day 1 you will involve yourself in tons of shailos. (anatomy dissections, practicing on opposite gender …)
4. On that note3 if you do get past med school you will most likely want a shomer shabbos residency. Well they are far and few in between in the Hotsy Totsy specialties (virtually unheard of in the surgical specialties} and I have no shailah you will many times come to the border of being michallel shabbos and unfortunately will be michallel shabbos (for non pekuach nefesh issues} for ex: its pretty hard to tell your senior to ” no I’ll do the documentation after shabbos” especially if it will slow the transfer or discharge of a pt only from a bureaucratic point of view .
5. Most shomer shabbos residencies are in the primary care fields (lower compensation fields some pediatricians are being offered only 90,000) Located in community/public hospitals mainly in minority and diversified communities in an overtaxed work environment. where thats the only way they can attract English speaking american grads the rest of your colleagues will be from a third wold country (resenting the fact that they always have to cover your shabbos/holiday). Well renown training hospitals have no reason to offer shabbos residency as the residents consider themselves lucky that they got chosen to work there in the first places.
6.You really have to ask yourself is it really worth the (i’ll be generous) 150K debt (most likely way more than that There are usually no scholarships no matter how low your income is) and the loss of potential income during those years ( It is impossible to work on the side). The inevitible shalom bayis issues, missing minyanim… all for what will most like be a low six figure (i’m hoping)salary. My answer in short is probably no. If your really bent on wearing the white coat go to dental school, you avoid the whole Avdus residency altogether.
Its a boro park thing they baked their cake now they have to eat it. They literally live one on top of another like the projects Enjoy. BTW anytime I need to park and shop by the 39 st “half rip off” stores (not whole rip off like here in flatbush) I will be blocking one of you illeagal driveways between 12th and 13 th and 40 th st. If i find a ticket I will call 311 and i will muusar you more than just about your illegal sidewalk cut, maybe your basement that you rent out isnt so kosher either let the inspectors figure it out.
Rabbi Reisman holds it needs tevila.
This is how u make it.No shopping at heimishe places aside for where u have no choice (basically for me this is meat/poultry, challos, gefilte fish), no fish aside from gefilte or frozen, no cakes, no heimshe nosh, no beef these are only for rich people or people on EBT (food stamps), no take out, no eating out, no vacation, no bungalow colony, no wine for shabbos only grape juice, no flowers for shabbos they end up in the garbage anyways, no hand made matzo, no deri lulav, no cleaners use wash machine, no goyta (i wonder who cleans her house), buy generic store brands. keep the ideas coming…
This is going to have a “Dwekian” end with mass arrests. Here is the scenario: Big heimishe business man/store/pharmacy/ upset partner is caught with some white collar stuff in exchange for saving their own skin they are willing to cooperate with the government …. with regard to information about their other big hemishe business man/store/pharmacy/ upset partner relatives etc.
