Ofcourse

mischiefmaker, People are opening schools left and right and are they qualified to be in chinuch?! NO!

I agree. Today many see opening a school as a good money making opportunity. The preoccupation is too often the school’s reputation and not the success or failure of individual students, emotionally and spiritually.

If more principals would think, act and speak like Rabbi Ehrenreich, amush, of BY of BP, I think we’d have less OTD kids and less kids and adults who are only outwardly frum, a phenomenon we have a lot of today, as written about in Jewish publications recently .

Leah 222, im in BP. Thanks!

A relative just put in an expensive custom kitchen with a local frum company and had nightmares one after another. They were slightly less money than the other kitchen places, but they have horrible customer service. Other people agreed with her (too late now).

Who is reasonable and reliable?

Unless I hear the same name over and over, I wouldnt take the chance.

Pesachtime lots of people put in new kitchens and now theyre probably starting to get a feeling of whether they chose well, as far as customer service.

Pac, Im not denying anything you’ve said (skirts have to be 4″ lower than the knee to cover the knee when getting in and out of…).

Do Flatbush Rabbonim speak on the importance of this in Flatbush, and mention the above specifications? Flatbush isnt no-mans-land. Lots of Rabbonim and lots of Jews there. ; )

Those who live in Flatbush- what do Rabbonim in Flatbush like R’ Moshe Tuvia Lieff R’ Reisman or R’ Goldwasser insist on, as far as length of skirts, for their congregants?

Thanks, sounds good, but I’d like to make it from scratch, using only natural ingredients and no mixes.

Health, I don’t think that the orgs. that do Kiruv also do the OTD kids.

Its related. Children of previous generations’ OTD kids range from non-observant to less observant. Kiruv attends to those who are non-observant.

Unfortunately some Mechanchim are dangerously impulsive/explosive/hurtful.

MDG, It sounds good in theory, but I think that it could be rather difficult in the real world.

Please explain what the principal, and anyone else, stands to gain by negativity such as name calling and belittling the student that he/she is throwing out, and might never see again for the rest of their lives. That is generally the last communication between the Hanhala and this child. One big permanent nightmare, thats all! I cant see Hashem wanting principals like that.

Thanks, the more info I get, the better. Im looking for a new place to buy/cut. The last Sheitel bought I had problems with. Im looking to switch. I appreciate it.

Raizy Klein – (718) 232-1212 (I never heard of her, does she sell and cut?)

Pessy Mayerson (I heard of her, I think she sells and cuts)

Naomi (I used to use her, she’s very good)

Toby Poll – (718) 431-2443 (does she sell and cut?)

Perele Pretter – (718) 851-1310 (does she sell and cut?)

Leah Rosenbaum – (347) 788-1944 (does she sell and cut?)

Im considering trying Tori because I hear theyre no pressure, if you dont like it, you’re not obligated. Is that true about Tori? Is that true about anyone else?

Thanks again.

How about if they dont give credit, like some Lipa music, which everyone recognizes from famous secular music?

No one buying Sheitels any more? Uh oh.

I agree with most of the comments above, frummer is better, but I’m somewhat uncomfortable with hearing at some gatherings that women who wear skirts that dont reach 4″ below the knee are the cause of serious illnesses, tragedies and other catastrophes in the world.

It’s a neighborhood thing. You’ll have a hard time impressing on most people outside of BP, Willy, Monroe, Skver, Tosh and certain parts of Lakewood, Monsey and Yerushalayim, areas with a heavy concentration of Chassidish/Ultra Yeshivish Jews, the importance of 4″ for the times women get into and out of a car, etc, unless they’re looking to be role models, which is nice, but realistically not everyone’s level.

For generations, covering the kneee has been sufficient.

poster, YES, when I passed that sign on 13th and 50th street, it hurt. The sign spoke to me. I felt guilty. It was a reminder.

Is the 4″ Halacha MiSinai? I think not. Do all Litvish Rabbonim believe women have to wear skirts that long? Or is it only preferable- Hidur Mitzvah? If it’s Hidur Mitzvah- there are many who dont believe in Human Hair Wigs, and there are many who believe that wigs should be covered….Ain L’Dovor Sof.

ursula, Presumably they have requested permission from the owners of the property to hang these signs.

Not quite. A crisp new one gets hung in front of my house, and other houses on my block 😉 as soon the old one falls off.

commonsense, why are you bothering to look into it, if it had no effect on getting a mortgage?

Were the violations accumulated after you bought the house or before?

Which professional is able (and how) to get rid of violations? It must be some people$ career.

Since Im related to the owners, what can be done in advance of selling?

Gumball, Everyday!! I thank My Mother 4 The supper ect ect and also lk i tell my father thanx 4 going 2 work 2day….!!!

Something about your tone sounds sarcastic. Are you a parent?

There are a million ways to show gratitude.

yaakov doe, thanks a mil!!!

I looked it up and found an active violation dating back to 1986, Type: Alteration (2 of them, ALT….). Does this mean a buyer cant get a mortgage? Is there any way to get rid of violations? Do people undo additions? Is this house unsellable otherwise?

Someone said to have a new survey done. How would that change anything?
