I always wonder what could have been done to help them.
Touro is much cheaper than Stern and you get pretty much the same education. I believe they will be competitive with Stern in every way 10 years from now.
I am aware of 4 Touro schools and they all have gyms.
Frumkeit and sensitivity wise, Touro is also better, as a general rule.
For me reading the Parsha before Shabbos made a big difference.
Also, singing zmiros.
Also, going to a shiur.
Also, doing Bnos groups.
Speaking of leather, I meant to start a thread on the new style to wear leather.
Also Lashon Toiva.
But a Lev tov… oleh al gabayhem.
Sounds tough. Hashem should help you rise to the challenge!
Oomis: Personally, I love playing house with more expensive toys. What’s wrong with getting married and enjoying it?
Girls vary in domestic ability. So long as they have the minimal skills to cook supper and clean the house, and plenty of girls learn on the job, I don’t think that should limit when they get married.
I do agree with getting a degree first, or at least having a realistic plan to be financially independent to fall back on.
Hmmm. That’s a good substitute for those on persimmon-free diets.
You should try to stay in all-girls programs as long as possible or at least until you marry.
Syag: So how did you deal with the gaava?
Someone I know bought an expensive sefer to make someone feel good.
A persimmon is like a tomato, but sweet like a berry, and with a slight pumpkin flavor.
Dating is not tznius. They should not date at any age. They should have beshows.
streekgeek, if you post long enough, you’ll eventually meet a few, and then you’ll decide.
WIY, most of your threads are focused on what other people should be doing. Just an observation.
Meet me at K and E. 34 at 3 AM. I’m the balding guy with a leather jacket.
Seriously, ask your friends, anything except the internet.
Rationalfrummie: Think about it. People pay $200 for therapy. Applying to Harvard is a much better self esteem boost than therapy.
No life is purposeless. All life is precious. It is a pity if it is wasted, but no less precious.
Veltz: You think that if Popa had a wife, she’d let him post this on yeshiva world?!
Women can even learn Gemara. When they’re done Ein Yaakov then they can start the halacha parts.
For the sake of shalom bayis, I think you should hang it up.
Today and tomorrow!
Just to clarify, I was joking above. I’m a frum woman who went to college and think it is generally a good idea if you have a realistic way to use the degree. It is a bad idea if you are very weak academically, have no idea what you want to do, and don’t have the money.
Sam2: Not to go off topic, but I lump them all together because frankly, the women I’ve met from Hadar/Drisha were interchangeable frumkeit wise with those in YCT. And they say the same things.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck but isn’t counted in a minyan, still a duck imho.
I appreciate when Popa posts these threads.
Sometimes I read stuff that comes out of the YCT/Hadar etc camp, and I know intuitively that it is hashkafically misguided, but can’t put into words what exactly is wrong with it to stand up for it, whether by writing a comment or saying something to the person who sent me the literature.
Thank you, Popa, for making it explicit and enabling people to respond effectively to attacks on Torah and mesorah.
The academics in BYA is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung, in June;
Everything else in BYA is like a melodie
That’s sweetly play’d, in tune.
With apologies to Robert Burns.
More seriously, google it, or at least search before asking… you’re not the first person to want information and people can’t post every time you want to know something.
I’m against college for women, but you should go to Touro. It’s a real degree and cheaper and more frum-friendly than anywhere else.
It’s muttar if it’s dead and down.
I don’t remember exactly, but it may have involved a herd of pink elephants, popa bar abba, and sour pickles that weren’t purchased at Walmart.
Internet, of course.
It’s safer to take a boat.
Just take your address and add Rebbe at the end. I’m the 30 Hartford St. Rebbe.
I peel it first, hasn’t been an issue.
Yes, and I have, and they either were the person or knew the person. 🙂
Why do you look down at snobs? Some of my best friends are snobs and I don’t look down at them.
Are lollipops more desirable than whole wheat bread? Maybe, but you need both.
I had a teacher once who recommended that we listen to a tape describing the suffering of Gehennom for an hour before we go to sleep.
While it is important to be aware of schar v’onesh, wanting to get a reward or to avoid punishment shouldn’t be the reason we serve Hashem.
My Ashkenazic facebook friends have been posting about it.
Maybe the place where they tore kriyah is not easy to see in pictures.
It’s bal tigra from Oneg Shabbos.
My siblings call it Geneiva Shark.
It’s easier to listen on grooveshark than from a CD player, and I do try to listen to CD’s we bought.
Self-publish it on the internet and have people buy it online. Best way to get a feel for how good you really are.
I’m sure Kupat Ha’ir and Va’ad Harabbanim will be happy to do so.
But why don’t you save it for aniyei ircha?
Welcome back, Syag!
Philadelphia is a good yeshiva, it shouldn’t be too hard to get into Lakewood.
