Exodus, by Leon Uris
“adding to this question: how friendly do you have to be to classmates of the opposite gender” with this question, i’m surprised you would go to a school that has members of the opposite gender
Many Gadols say the internet is Assur…but there are plenty of us here. where do you draw the line? Onlysimchas by mere fact that I have seen women wearing pants and or touching before marriage is promoting a very untznius lifestyle…but who am i to judge as I have a facebook page…whats the point of my rambling? Not sure, but I bet there are bigger fish to fry….
Ofcourse…i’m just having some fun with the post…nothing more.
By saying, “if knowing what i did now”, you are implying that i have the ability to go back in time…which as far as I know is impossible, but if assuming I could, I would certainly be able to play the right lotto numbers, which would be entierly within my control…
“my brother told me today that he heard in yeshiva” I think we need to take a step back and re-read the first line of the post. I “heard” a lot of things, which after further investigation deemed itself to be totally false. This is how rumors get started and is pretty much loshan hora…Secondly, I doubt Rav Chaim Kanievsky would like his name being thrown around here (on the internet of all places), especailly since there is no concrete evidence of this rulling….
I would have played the right lotto numbers
Hope it didnt give you a stomach ache
where did watermellon go?
General Manager of the METS
MikeHall, why did you have to put Eclipse down? Anyway, there was a message there…sorry, I was just trying to be Tongue-in-cheek, due the “nature” of the post…after reading my post again I can see it was rude and not as funny as I thought when I was writing it down late last night….
aries2756 and obnoxious…i think you are both 100% correct.
what on earth are rambling about?
let the bashing begin…..
Scoth, anything with a Glen in the name will do
3 hours doesnt seem like much if you consider the fact that many get engaged after a short dating period. 3 hours seems like a rather small investment, when investigating your future mate. Plus even if there is no connection it is a good lesson on how to commuincate and even learn a bit about yourself…maybe there is such a shidduck crisis becase people arent giving others enough time to make an impression. no wonder there is a crisis going on….
observanteen…i think your advise may backfire. The OTD person may feel further isolated and withdraw from yidishkite even further. I also don’t agree with “save yourself first” mentality, it seems rather selfish to me and are contrary to showing true chessed and compasion. There is a saying you attract more bees with honey then vinager. I think dealing with OTD’ers is similar. Many experts (rabbis) agree with keeping communicaton open and continous. Arent we taught that we should push away the sinner with our left hand but pull them in with the right???I also find it frightning that one would be so threatned by a OTD person that they themselves fear they may go off as well. I would hope the many years of schooling both in the classroom and home would be enough to keep one on the right path, regardless of whay their friend/brother may be doing. Are you so easlity influenced that you will simply follow what another person is doing, just becasue?
Too much speaking and spending time together during the engagement- don’t forget to mention eye contact as well…
oomis1105…couldnt agree more 🙂
“Does it hurt her family’s chance at shidduchim because she was on TV”…There are plenty of frum people with TV’s. They just hide them in “air conditioning boxes” when bringing them home from the store….:)
Mazel Tov on your win!
you got me, its actually Mike Hallowitzky
Mike Hallowitz
A great Rabbi; Rabbi Jacob S. Rubenstein ZTL once said on raising children “” Love em, then teach em”…this holdS for you with regards to your brother as well…
i cant figure out all the name changes…whats the point if everone knows who you are?
My children and every generation after me cling on to their Jewishness as much as someone would cling on to a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean…
i have to agree with Sam2 on that one…kind of like “yeshivish but with it”, an expression I’ve heard before…
Do you really think that I’m “ahead” of other people if I’m already aware of my problem?
100% most people arent’ aware of their problems…so yes you are certainly better off then most
cofeefan,
there is nothing wrong with jeans black or blue. there is nothing wrong with black pants and white shirts. the material or color of clothing has nothing to do with the type of Jew or level of observance. Any arguments to the contrary are just silly….
“he was drop twice because of it.”
If that is the case maybe it a failure of our schools, maybe more time needs to be devoted to teaching about this? I remember learning about diabetes etc. in High School biology and science classes. Knowledge is power, without it, it leads to incorrect assumptions…Then again I went to a MO school where Math, Science and Biology was seen as being extremely important subjects to learn about…Like I said before Diabetes is not a huge issue if treated properly and certainly isn’t something that one should be ashamed of.
i wish all of us would tkae the high road like ester….including me its easy to get caught up
then im getting taller every year
Sacrilege,,,couldnt agree more
coffeefan…i figured you misunderstood and thankyou…
sure its possible, everone has issues. Some people are fat, others short. Some have low self esteem and others suffer from depression. Some are addicted to money and others don’t have any.Some suffer in silent others are more open. You are no different then anyome else. Make sure you are followed by a respectable DR, speak to a Rav who you feel comfortable with and when you least suspect it, you may will find your bersheret.
well said…
