jewish feminist- nothing to be proud of. Its as if id say that I never ate peppers in my life(i dont like them!!!). Anyway- nothing wrong with a cup of coffee a day, even two.
HELLO EVERYBODY!!! Hashem is our president!!! Say Tehillim of course, but know that no one can override Hashems words and plans!!!
I feel so fortunate to be a Jew, that at least we can rely on Hashem!!!
Mccain, hopefully
frightening
JEWESS- why is this different than wearing red and men shouldnt look at me. I mean, of course i dont mean the literal difference, but your whole attitude couldnt be more wrong.
You have to do your utmost not to be noticeable, and no, that doesnt mean wearing a big black Shmata over your whole body. You have to dress moderately and inconspicuously so no one will look your way and it’s the men’s job to keep their eyes to themselveS!!!
I wouldnt want my own husband to see many of the woman on the streets. And im talking about Heimishe woman who are dressed with the attitude that youre carrying around. I dress the way I want, and the men should walk the streets with closed eyes.
BTW- we Bichlal dont belong on the streets, we belong at home, but since that’s nearly impossible, we need to make sure that we dotn attract anyone to our looks.
BLUE SHIRT- This is an email going around everywhere. I got it too. It’s got nothing to do with just smile- she’s only forwarding it for interest’s sake.
jewess- why dont u walk out naked when its 90 degrees out there. its not ur problem, it’s all those guys problems not to look.
btw- I heard that one of the boys stood trial last night in Japan. How frightening. I have no idea about the verdict. Just say a lot of Tehillim.
NEVER NEVER NEVER take a package along for anyone. Even someone form your own shul. These stories are too common these days.
We have a US Postal system for a reason.
JPHONE-
Sorry Im going back to such an old post. But I just wanted to inform you that my sister just got that phone call!!!! So it is true!!!
But you’re still not gonna believe it, huh?
I guess the caller is not reading the posts on YW!!
GONISOHEIV- wow! you sure sound like you produced this cd according to how insulted you got. Please calm down!! It’s only one person’s opinion. No need to attack him.
000646- anyone that has some feeling within, feels bad for the family/community they left behind. They might be happy with their new life but if they’re just a bit sensitive to others, they will have a tiny bit of a guilt feeling for what they did.
About your other question, if someone doesnt believe in Hashem and the Torah, then you’re right, they might think that being non-frum is just as good.
But anyone who goes off the Derech and still believes that Hashem is there…or that the Torah exists for others- not for me- cannot deny that being frum is right. Because we have it spelled out clearly in the Torah each Mitzvah and exactly how we must act. If you believe in Hashem and the Torah, you MUST act that way, with no choice in the matter- That’s what a Jew is all about.
A Jew that still believes in the Torah but doesnt keep the Mitzvos for whatever reason, knows the truth that being frum is the real thing. Doesnt mean they do what they truly believe is right. But if they really dont believe that the Torah way is more right than their new way, then they are denying Hashem and his Torah.
000646-The point is not that non-jews aren’t happy. They may lead very happy lives. The point IS that when a frum jew stops keeping the Torah, then his happiness is not real even though they can feel very happy all the time. The reason for that is because anyone who is honest with themselves feels guilt deep down because they are doing wrong. They may not realize it, but it’s there. There’s a tiny little flame that burns in every Jew, may it be a frum jew or non frum. They may be very happy with their lives but a Jew without Torah is like an empty balloon. There is something missing although they dont realize it.
havesomeseichel: im not talking about pple are are off the derech- because that depends on individuals. I personally dont know if I would want to speak to such a person just for the reason that I might say the wrong thing which will turn them off furthur. I was talking about about frum good jews who are not yeshivish.
This is not to say that we should not be friendly with pple who are off the derech. I did speak to many of them already and of courseI was very friendly to them. But I do try to keep away in a smart way. Not that I should sound snobby or anything like that, but I’m scared of saying the wrong thing to them, and Bichlal- I do not want to get influenced negatively.
OOMIS- I will not deny or agree with yoru statement because I’ve met many superior feeling yeshivishe pple like you wrote and I also came across many of them who are so outgoing and accepting of “outsiders”.
But let me ask you something- Have you ever met a modern person that does NOT think THEY are superior? I have yet to meet that modern person who accepts chassidishe pple. They all think Yeshivishe pple are absurd, narrowminded, withdrawn pple and that is very far form the truth. How about looking at it that way.
Each to their own- everyone feels right about themselves. Thats it.
Feif Un- I dont know why you think so negatively of Yehsivish pple. Speak about judging pple. I dont think that’s fair of you. Many Yeshivish and Chassidish pple ARE very openminded and accepting of many different ways of life. Not everything is black or white.
In every circle you will find some pple that think black and white and some pple that make room for grey!
