    My bash wasn’t directed at the expenditure itself (though I am maskim), rather the fact that it is considered normal accepted to adorn a regular childrens weekday outfit with precious gems and metals. I’m referring to the principle – not the bank account

    R’ Chaim Soloveichik was once on a train and saw a missionary working on an unlearned jew. R’ Chaim walked over and the missionary began to preach to him also. R’ Chaim answered him- j cannot be the messiah because Bar kochba was messiah. the missionary looked at him and said- What?? R akiva was wrong. no he wasnt replied r chaim. yes he was. how do you know? because Bar kochba died! answered the missionary triumphantly.

    Aha!! said r’ chaim. Shtarbin iz a rayye.

    Again I would like to re-iterate that I was not emphasizing the health risks involved , rather the high level of gashmius that has become normal in today’s society. If you want to buy a fancy seder pillow cover you can at least pretend to be moira heter that it’s Zeh Keili viAnveyhu. But a fancy clip is like gold and diamond car keys. i think it’s simply not tznius

    k i think there’s a guy-girl miscommunication. what i mean is that what this says about the norm and that what we’re used to is scary. imagine a gold diaper pin or nail clippers made of crystal. am i being clearer

    Honolulu i believe you missed my point. my problem with these things isn’t the health risk rather the gashmius we’re emphasizing and how it reflects on our society as a whole. read the first post

    I agree although i didn’t mean the health issues involved. I just think it’s like a diamond encrusted cell phone case- too much. and btw how do you do the subtitle thingy under your name

    pba- i should rephrase. Not to get down is what i meant. if a real wrongdoing was done then it requires teshuva- but not atzvus

    the truth is that you are right. unfortunately some goyishe ideas about how this process works have crept into what is considered the norm.basing the choice of your lifetime parnter on door-holding is dumb. but thats life. so i see no reason to stretch these practices to compell the girl to hold open a door too

    Hi everyone I’m a new poster but i’ve been following for a while. we say by maariv Vihussair sattan me’achareinu. I think i heard in the name of the Chafetz Chaim that it means to not get worried about past failings, look ahead, and think positive. tomorrow will be a better day

    Pac man: I think I did all the holding and I don’t think it’s rude. this way we were able to follow all etiquite and still comply with halachah. btw how do u do the subtitle thing under your name

    Hi everyone I’m new here and also recently engaged.I held the door every time by pulling it open and walking through and holding it with my hand stretched out behind me. My kallah let me go first because she knew the halachah. I don’t see why it’s so difficult…
