lovesbeingjewish…I don’t see Facebook as you do. I use it to keep in contact with friends and especially family who do not live near me…What I have done is given Tzedakah in Leiby’s memory and have committed myself to additional learning…I suggest each one do something “additional”…I’ll leave that up to each individual to decide
I’ll tell you what someone told me when I “left”… See you in a couple of weeks 🙂
speak to a Rav on how you should proceed
BOR….I can assure you they are not hiding their Jewishness… The kippa on their head pretty much tells everyone who they Are.
There was a case in Montreal a couple of weeks ago. A father stabbed and killed his 2 children… I won’t get too much into the details but even after admitting what he has done… He was found not guilty As his lawyer claimed he was insane … The jury bought it and he is now ” hospitalized” but may be out sooner than thought… The Aron case is not a slam dunk… The case Im referring to is the Turcotte case
“isn’t it sad that something so “not normal” has to happen to wake us up?”
Yes, I agree with the above…but we all expect people once a person reaches a certain age to eventually pass away…so when it happens we are upset and hurt by that…but I don’t say it comes as a horrible shock, especially if they were sick.
Thus, we may not feel the “wake up call”…Unfortuatly as humans sometimes we need a horrific event to take notice…I wish the gentle reminders would be enouigh for us.
“has their deaths (all 3 of them put together) been equal to or greater then Leiby (there hasn’t been 3 CR posts about it yet there are more than 10 about Leiby I’m not talking about news sources I’m talking about if you get affected by it as much as Leiby or a terror attack”
You can’t say this death or that is “greater” or “equal” etc. Only Hashem know’s for sure…
What I Will say is Leiby’s death was a tragedy…An innocent life cut short under horrific circumstances, and of all things done by an “observant” Jew…
The gedolim’s death while still a Tragedy for KAL Yisroel, the circumstances surrounding there death was more “normal”. I.E The natural order of getting older and passing away at an old age…
It’s hot out…but we really don’t have a choice…
Polyester Mesh is your best bet…
As for your community, I agree it is very hard when yuo are one of only a handful of observant Jews…You mentioned that you are not prepared to move yet, and NY is not the end all be all, but maybe you should try moving to a place that has a orthodox community. Doesn’t have to be as big as NY, but there are many even in the midwest…
Im a zionist, but did not ask…but i wonder who did 🙂
My son told me he was going to marry mommy…I wouldn’t be too concerned
I agree, nobody knows why…we can try to rationalize it, we can learn from it and try to improve ourselves, build bridges (especially among all the frum yidden), stop all the “infighting…but to say it happened because of this or that is only wide speculation…Only Hashem and perhaps a very select Gadols know for sure…
Looking back, I would have rather the money go to a down payment on my house, tuition, and tzedakah…I have a nice video and album… Looked at them maybe twice…
Shlishi…I can’t believe you respect anything MO…
I’m in Montreal and it’s the hottest I remember…I feel like opening up a fire hydrant and running through it
Not that his constructive to the conversation, but I thought Rabbi Wallerstein doesn’t use email. At least that’s what I thought he said in one of his Shuirs….
I play a mean Traingle
apushatayid….A MosheRose, IS A MosheRose, IS A MosheRose
Becasue when we get married, Girls get the upper hand.
My good friend lives across the street from a Treif restaurant…you know the one with the big M…well I’m not going to eat by him. Chas Vashalom he sleep walks one night and buys a burger without knowing and eats it…
This was a tragedy among tragedies, the only response is to build bridges among Kal Yisroel…Unfortunately no easy task…We are so divided on so many issues….
up over 7K raised already…and I think it just started today
chabad is one of the best around…especially here in Montreal.
I also get on from the Tash chassidim up north outside the city, but it’s not as detailed..
“Modesty. Traditionally a woman’s name isn’t put in public”
better tell my wife to put my name on her business cards…although I doubt I’m qualified to be a social worker like her…
the best money i ever spent, pray to hashem that he will enable me to give more!
The only thing Jews have in community with the Amish is the dark suits and hats 😉
I would also add that people are more in love with the idea of being married, then actually being in love with the one they are marrying… I also think that people are afraid to be the last one if their friends to get married and thus force things along, when perhaps they shouldn’t have…
although i knew after the first date I was going to marry my wife, I waited just under a full year before asking her to marry me… While a long courtship may not be right for some, it allowed me to make sure it was 100% right…and now after 2 kids, mortgage, and a dog, things are better than ever…
100 percent of the time???better go speak to my wife, then have a word with myself 😉
Basket… I pegged you for a midwesterner
so you could see if anyone is using it 🙂
Not only did we have young couples come over to our house for shabbos meals, we went out with them to restaurents too…
basket of radishes…I don’t know why I think this but for some reason I think you live in Iowa…
“Marijuana is an illicit way…not in Amsterdam it isnt 🙂
The Goq…very cute, now pass me some chips
GeshmakMan….i’m not embarrased to wear a yamulkah to a ball game or movie…and I agree if you are embarrassed to wear one then you shopuldn’t go period.
PS your lucky you’ve gone to so many games…
GeshmakMan…I don’t think you have ever been to a ball game. What you describe is not the case as you portray it…
How is this different then daveining is a parking lot at a major rest area, airport, or anywhere else I’ve seen minyans that are outside a shul/home?
Our mission here is to elevate the mundane, to infuse the ordinary with holliness…forming a minyan and deveining at a ball game, side of the road, or an airport does just that…
spend a weekend in Monsey
yes I support it…it’s proven to help with many ailments. Including;
Severe pain and persistent muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis…among others
“hard to enjoy anything in temperatures of 85+ degrees,”
what about swimming 🙂
Droid…until you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes….
In the winter, there is a ski hill up north (Montreal) that has a minyan…taking three steps back and foward is a bit tricky with ski boots, but it can be done…
Not giving a get is just evil…you gotta do what you gotta do, but I think beating someone up is not the answer… Running their livelihood is a better option 😉
