    How can you say the same issue is playing out? They don’t have the lack of knowledge or preparedness nor the lack of equipment. They aren’t sending positive patients back to the homes and because they are counting each test as a new case even tho they are multiple tests of the same person they don’t even have as many people sick as they claim. No comparison at all.

    Maivin – religion isn’t a live and let live kinda thing. If you see someone doing something you believe/feel/were taught to be wrong than you absolutely should be asking about it. Maybe the answer is that it is wrong but people can’t help themselves. Or maybe the answer is that if is not wrong but many people are machmir not to. Asking isn’t judging. And he didn’t ask you if you enjoy it, he asked why it’s appropriate. Which you didn’t answer by the way. Wanting to do something doesn’t make it appropriate.

    Mesivta aliya – of coarse they do. How can you not see a picture on your phone?

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH!
    do you mean sending covid positive patients to nursing homes to KILL THOUSANDS of elderly?!? Or maybe you mean not using the surplus of nurses that waited in NY hotels resulting in STARVING ELDERLY YIDDEN?!? Oh! Wait! Maybe you just mean not stopping people from destroying business and killing each other while sending yidden out of playgrounds.

    Ctrebbe – i don’t know what is more depressing, that yo actually believe your demeaning redirion of their lives, or that others reading it may believe it.
    My boys re not an exception. They are not self supporting either. They have limited money and most is earned learning with younger/weaker weaker bochurim. MOST of their friends come from families like ours with no free rides. They can’t affrd to eat out which is why they buy ingredients and make meals. You either lived a pampered life, or believe the fake news that learning boys are all those things you authored above.

    It’s Time – not sure why you brought that into this thread but…
    I would say its just the opposite. Are we going to be forever inhibited by those who continue with the restrictions that are no longer deemed necessary for certain areas?
    Don’t misunderstand, if a person is at risk, he should be careful. But, for example, my brother lives in a place where indoor functions are allowed in large groups but he still won’t let anyone in his house. I told him there is nothing at all wrong with being worried or careful, but don’t mistake yourself for being the “norm” or “in the right” thus branding others thoughtless or reckless.

    CT – your post is more of a stereotyping fantasy than real life. Surprised to hear that from a rebbe. You are gravely underestimating their abilities and what life requires of them. Maybe your wife cooks 3 meals a day for your 22 year old but my guys have had to shop, cook, budget and provide for themsrlves while in bais medrash.

    Not at all! I just don’t know if you can assume your representation is what Hashem wants from each of us. We all must do what He wants, and building a relationship where He is primary is the only way to go. I am just not sure you can spell out how that looks for each person in your coffeeroom post.

    navy – I hear your enthusiasm but I believe you are letting yourself get carried away in it. Yes, I cry when someone dies over my personal loss in their passing, but it is not a personal loss. The death of every yid is a loss to every yid. And you do not need to expound on the importance of Torah by diminishing the other tragedies or the other Torah filled lifestyles.
    Yes, I agree that many think learning all day is just something people do, they are clueless on the importance of having Hashem and his Torah in front of us at all times. They think being a frum person is “good enough”. That if you can’t learn in a bais medrash you can just “go learn somewhere else”. Yes, many people don’t get the value. But don’t amke yourself as ignorant by missing the importance of other things. It just reinforces that fallacy that they have embraced.

    Navyatsh- calling a death a personal tragedy makes the rest of your words hard to read. Personal tragedy? The death of a yid is a tragedy that is so global and huge that any randon jew is obligated to break shabbos to prevent it.

    There are several horrible tragic scenarios that have resulted from this pandemic. Luna is right that we can’t belittle the physical crisis, and neither can we belittle the others. It is sad if people don’t understand how tragic the closing of yeshivas and schools are, very sad. But no suffering needs to be minimized in stressing that point.

    I’m not sure everyone understood his post, I doubt i would have if I didnt have so many boys that age. My heart goes out to you. Hashem obviously wants you to seek out sources of strength, perhaps from past rebbeim as midwesterner pointed out. Perhaps others. Hashem should send us all a yeshua kheref eiyin!!

    charlie- now you have really gone off the deep end! I am so sick and tired of people sticking hitler comparisons where they don’t belong. Shame on you! Shame on you for accusing people that are against giving illegal immigrants more rights than some poor americans have, or wanting them vetted, of committing homicide against a nation. Shame on you for drawing an analogy between people asking to send people back to their own country unless they undergo a citizenship process with mass murder, starvation, shooting people on the edge of mass graves, sending dogs to chew newborns, performing experiments on women’s bodies and gassing people. Do I need to go on?
    I am sick and tired of listening to people so deranged with hatred that they don’t even care what comes spewing out of their mouths anymore. Enough already.

    But you have no proof that he doesn’t listen. You made it up and/or got it from the fake reports. Some people around him have complained of exactly the opposite, that he listens, but doesn’t always follow the advice.

    Im also confused why i address rational and get first person responses fron VH. Are you a sock pupoet? I know (not definitively of course) from rationals posts that he has had little intimate contact with this wirld he is commenting on. And from what i remember of his postings, i don’t think he ever was part of these “white shirt” yeshivas. That is why i responded to his comments. The exact comments he decries when they are aimed at him.

    To ignore anything that the president does (or did) or says or tweets because of the “policies” is like saying ” I will vote for Jefferey Dahmer for President since I only care about his policies.” .

    Um, no, it’s not. Not at all. That’s just another dumb extreme people use to make a point that doesn’t exist.

    Rational- you claim in another post that you are a religious zionist who has been living in israel for 30 years. You seem to have drunk the kool aid we were served. When you make comments like that about people/places based on hearsay it is called motzei shem rah. Yes i am female, but i have/had 7 boys presently in the system, not propaganda from 1970. So if you started out in “charedi” yeshivos, then perhaps the comments speak for that time, but unfortunately i would have to question how much accuracy anyone in israel would have about someone outside their box.

    that’s a pretty long angry rant for someone who doesn’t care.
    So, my leaders wear yarmulke’s and titzis, by the way. And my support for trump as president stops at his performance as president, when someone tells me he may go down for bad behavior i don’t start foaming at the mouth (see your above post). I can’t stand listening to him speak and don’t read his tweets. Unlike the anti trumpers who thrive on his every move, I just worry about the policies.

    “Which is completely ridiculous if you think about it. I can get kicked out of Yeshiva for wearing a blue shirt!”
    that is a mighty simplistic, out of context and sad presentation.

    “Food for thought. The Yeshiva system is more focused on wearing a white shirt (some invented chumra) then teaching Bochurim the importance of the “Hadras Ponim Zokon” A mitzvah Dioiraissa!”

    I am making a macha’a. I am really sorry some people bristle at the uniform of yeshivas and I fully acknowledge that some of the inflexibility of the system has done it’s damage on many kids. But that anger (PTSD?) needs to be addressed and dealt with on a personal level. Writing comments like these are just motzei she rah. Yes, some places made huge mistakes. And some kids who suffered blame the system instead of the individuals. But the above comment is wrong. 100% wrong.

    I do not get the ‘im well versed in pandemics and have analyzed all the information that was available from WHO and the CDC so i can confidently declare who is to blame for the spread of this virus and number of deaths” slogan

    Ya know what really worries me about that disclosure? I sit here and listen to people stand on soapboxes ranting and spewing about things they barely know about. Tell them that someone is paid $250k and watch them foam at the mouth. I would probably react same. But most people have NO IDEAA what it means. Zero. They will rant the loudest and post opposition and followers will line up out the door as the organization is destroyed.

    There may be plenty with inflated salaries (may), but 90% of you would not be able to give a synopsis of what the job entails. And even when you do know, you still don’t. Like parents of children with special needs, how many people really know what their days are like? And how often do teachers suffer from decisions made by board members who never stepped foot in a classroom? Plenty.

    Ranting is fun but words are swords and Haimy’s topics consistently do the rabble rousing thing – sound virtuous while holding the syringe of toxins out of view. Very few people are knowledgeable enough to read disclosure and have a clue if it is really sound. The numbets alone just aren’t enough of a reason to drsg an organization thru the mud (sorry ctrebbe to burst your bubble).

    charlie – I always had a lot of respect for you and valued your comments and posts. Recently tho, I am floored at how uninformed and unintelligent your posting has become.

    No matter how you feel about trump and all he does, just stick to the facts. You are too intelligent to start blaming a pandemic and 120,000 deaths on him. Someone of your caliber who understands how chaotic the first months of this virus were, how uninformed the doctors were, how many fatal mistakes they made, how much out of anyones hands it is to force people to stick to the rules… oh please. No matter what he could have done or not done, it is beneath you to pretend that we could have stopped this virus, or more recently that the democratic party allowing for, joining and condoning outdoor rallies had nothing to do with the spin out of this pandemic. Those of us who played by the rules virtually gave up when we saw that the mayors were hypocrits and liars, assuming that if they are lying about this, perhaps they are lying about all of the precautions. And that impact on the genreal public was something that could have been prevented.

    Acting like a monday morning quarterback and pretending you don’t understand the science of a pandemic, specifically this pandemic, just makes me wonder if you have had a break down ch”v, or if I just never knew enough about your topics to have caught on earlier.

    Nom- you’re agreeing with me about getting out but i don’t remember saying that. And you seem to have omitted the explanation about how making sure our children have a healthy way to spend their summer is misaligned with mourning. When i sat shiva after months of attending to a very sick dad, i worried more about arrangements for my children than i would otherwise. This isn’t about recreation, it’s about mental health, social development and spirituality.
    My additional point is that your and her vision might be skewed regarding where we are at right now, influenced by emotion. Or not. Worth researching.
