I want to hear other people’s opinions. Does every Jew have a halachic chiyuv to become a Talmid Chochom (which people will debate definition but you know what I mean) or only a select few? or half? or 34.9%? 87.4%? you name it.
Gavra it’s important to note that in our day the children do not share hashkafa with parents by default. So what may be a good Hashkafic outlook for the parents is no shaychus to the child. How many kids have become Bnei Torah with modern parents? And how many kids have become modern with Bnei Torah parents? And same with Chassidish and Litvish etc.
Pritzus is one of the Nisyonei Hador. What can we expect when the goyim have fallen so low and we live in their midst? We need a Geulah bekarov.
I think it is no shaychus middle kid syndrome. Im yirtzeh Hashem you’re going to have more kids and he’ll be second oldest! Middle child is when you have a family with teen kids, pre teens, kids, toddlers, and a baby and there’s one kid in the middle who’s left out. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
I think there should be more variety in chareidi yeshivos, and then all kids will be happy. some should focus on bekiyus some iyun, some should be soft spoken some serious, etc.
Frum Attorney, I feel for you and I understand that you went through a hard bochurhood, much rougher than the average. if what you say is true 100% then those rebbeim did the wrong thing. Chazak BaTorah!
Give the Marei Mekomos please!
Oomiss, what do you define the problem of Neturei Karta? (I’m not stating my opinion yet, but I want to know what you hold is their problem and why)
oomiss not that what I am to judge, but most of what you said is true, but you missed a major point. Of course you must be a mentch to everyone as in saying hello, offering your seat. And yes, to let some krum guy rattle off some shtusim is also menthclichkeit as long as you know you won’t be affected, or at least pretend you are listening. But when kavod HaTorah or talmidei chachomim or anyone who represents harbotzas torah is at stake, in a public matter ……. And a frum yid must know he is better than a fry yid even a tinok shenishba! It’s a chiyuv of makir es mikomcha – know your place! But that obligates him to be a better mentch NOT shtultz them out!
Well Informed Yid, can you give some examples of your opinion that people are more machmir on chumras than halacha? I’m sure you might find five (or ten or twenty) cases out of thousands of halachos. And then there is always the 1% meshugayim who are yotzei min haklal!
I know plenty of Baalei Teshuvah who you can’t tell they are Bt because they act like FFBs exactly. However, some BTs stick out, either because they don’t know what to do, or the opposite they are overly OCD and are more machmir than allowed al pi halacha. You know the famous asher yatzar joke… Anyways if a guy’s bashert is not a bt gezunteheit. But lemayseh Reb Avigdor Miller and the Steipler held it was a good thing to marry a true BT. Why not? The niddah problem is not really a problem says the Steipler. It’s only a problem if the children become chutzpah like a niddah!
This comment is no shaychus to the previous shakla vetarya, but this topic is called respecting people, so may I ask what is the definition of respecting ppl? I’m sure there are different types of respect and different matzavim.
