    Hi, sweetie! it’s your mommy in law here! How ironic to find you here in the CR!

    Funny you didn’t realize, but we are in need of a new chandelier in our dining room. Just trying to make the “thinking of ideas” a bit easier on you.

    We’re really looking forward!

    Thanks for everything and regards!

    Zahavasdad- of course that’s bad too. Just doesn’t make her actions right.

    (If that’s the case with him, I don’t know.but her pics I saw as definite proof.)

    Zahavasdad- the pics I saw of her and her BF, prove everything against pure Halacha. I’m not sure which religion you’re referring to, but she definitely doesn’t practice my religion.

    Zahavasdad- in Willi, the sense of community is a lot more there than BP, and therefore they stared at you. Not for your way of dressing, but because they know you’re an outsider. (This doesn’t make it polite, just saying!)

    BP has a much bigger variety of communities, and everyone belongs, so you don’t feel like an outsider.

    000646- well if her family didn’t allow her to eat out, what is she doing bashing Chareidim all over in the media?

    If my family doesn’t allow walls to be painted white, why would I go around telling the world that “hassidim” don’t paint their walls white?

    Her stupid “rules” apply to such a small minority. But she’s painting a HUGE picture.

    About curfew- if I grew up and live between Chassidim only, and I NEVER heard about a curfew, how many Chassidim do you think really follow this curfew thingy?

    And maybe you’ve got to interact with Chassidish WOMEN a little more, as opposed to your limited interaction with them, and see how educated many of us are. Not all, but oh so many.

    As I said, the men need lots of brushing up on their English language. I will not deny that which is true.

    000646- my teachers always told us it doesn’t “pas” to eat out. That doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to. We learn many things in school. Then we choose to follow what we want.(Except for outright Halacha obviously).

    Safety- I totally disagree. But maybe we each know different people.

    About teaching that Goyim are bad people, she’s more right. But that’s changing a lot. Children are being taught differently today.

    Curfew? Gimme a break. Never heard of that. And I’m VERY Chassidish.

    And about speaking english, my entire school, camp friends, and neighbor

    have perfect English skills.

    Men are not girls- she specifically said about the girls. The men definitely need to shape up their English, yes.

    If her school taught them English on a fourth grade level, she should not say it on all Hasidic people.

    Feif- she’s talking about all “Hassidim”. She had no intentions of making it clear to the public that she’s only talking for a TINY minority within Chassidishe communities.

    Mytake- I completely agree with your post.

    000646- as a Chassidish woman myself, Deborah is full of lies. It’s possible she was brought up with all those lies, but this does not account for even 80 percent of Chassidim.

    I live surrounded by Chassidim, and our lives are not a bit like hers.

    Yes, we do have our share of problems in our community(as in every community btw), but most of us lead happy, normal lives.

    She painted a terrible picture. We do have restrictions, but her lies were totally off.

    Zahavas- within Chassidus, we have many different circles too. Not all Chassidim are alike.

    Some go to Disney, many don’t. You can find very different extremes between Chassidim.

    Call shalom task force, and if they’ll advise you to leave, they’ll help you out from there.

    Always runs- maybe you already do, but you should post/read the imamother.com forum.

    Gatesheader- which part of it is so sad? And what about it is corrupt?

    Anyway, my point was that if so many people use the word as “im”, then it isn’t worth pointing out because it became the unofficial way of speaking.

    Yes, in my shul (chassidish), the women are asked to leave a few minutes before davening is over.

    Being that it’s a big shul, and so many men and woman pile out at once, they try to keep it separate.

    This isn’t a rule, this isn’t even enforced. It’s just something they kindly requested.

    Nobody will spit on a woman who will walk out at the same time as the gentlemen.

    No, you work hard to maintain your weight, and NOTHING happens if you put up 5 or 10 lbs.

    You work hard to hold down a job and be honest and responsible.

    You should not get married with this attitude. Because people who do, turn into a frowning pumpkin.
