No, but you’re more likely to get an answer by contacting someone you know who is Satmar.
Haifagirl: I agree that that was thoughtless, but she was probably just not thinking.
gefen: that’s why my way works.
love the new subtitle
Writersoul: thanks.
writersoul: I think you are making an excellent point.
Do you agree with my post above (that this letter will end up working as reverse psychology)?
mdd: I am under the impression that they discuss what not to cover, but not how to cover it.
Guess where I’m going to be Motzei Shabbos???
Just kidding. But seriously, this letter accomplishes the opposite of what it intended.
How many of the kids on Ave J are there because their parents sent them to hang out with other teens for some nice clean fun? They’re trying to rebel and specifically forbidding it will just heighten the excitement for them
Thanks, The Goq.
Rationalfrummie: you’re right. I don’t know anything about this topic. (to be honest, until this thread, I had no idea that there was a required height for mechitzas. I just figured it was there to help the men not look.)
Go for the cheapest.
I don’t mind the reading material so much. Some of it is interesting (like Rabbi Eisemann’s books)
lol this is a good place for clean chuck norris jokes (posting for future google searches)
DY: I figure that if someone joins anew, they should get the chance to be a new person, without being disturbed.
Unless they bother other people.
abcd2: You’re right. I’m sorry. Honestly the girls I know in Lev are very smart. But they are very well-rounded type of smart, not necessarily academic, and that’s why they went to Lev. But you’re right and I apologize for my above comment.
Lev Bais Yaakov is a very nice school with great people and very warm faculty and administration.
They have much more extracurricular options than other schools. For example, in 9th grade, there’s guitar, art, and music. Hashkafa is also an important part of the curriculum. It is less memorization based than other schools. That’s what I meant by less academic. But plenty of smart girls go there.
am23, can you go on Birthright? if you can’t afford to go on your own? After Birthright, there is an option to extend your trip.
Why are a bunch of guys arguing over the skirt length women should wear? Sorry but that is a little creepy. Are you now going to discuss what denier of stockings is appropriate?
Besides, it makes no sense to have measurements. People’s bodies are shaped differently and a skirt that is technically too short may be much more tznius than another that is not.
Welcome to the coffee room. Hope you enjoy your stay!
I loved our washing machine. I was so excited to be tall enough to do my laundry by myself.
To this day, I find doing laundry very relaxing.
The issur is to look. So don’t look!
HaLeivi, great posting on this thread.
WIY: Go visit, speak to parents, speak to kids.
PBA: You’re right.
Why do you think they got upset when I posted on their page that they don’t do same-sex marriage? I’m not upset if someone says that about my yeshiva! Why do you think they deleted that they require mechitza’s? I am happy to say that my yeshiva has a mechitza and requires its graduates to have one.
Good point.
DaasYochid: Or, it shows that they’re smart enough to realize that they would not attract anyone if they were so blatantly non halachic.
Deserves to be repeated.
It is quite funny that they are deleting my edits. After all, the people deleting it know that what I said is true, and nobody would deny it, and my sourcing is good. They’re blaming it on this thread, but there is no req of motives on wikipedia. It doesn’t say much about their intellectual honesty.
Agreed.
I agree with Popa. You should try to find what is making you unhappy, and fix it. That’s what Hashem wants us to do.
Well, it was interesting reading the talk page, anyway.
But YCT has much more people than the yeshivish world does who are internet savvy. I shudder to think of what they could do to our wikipedia pages. So on second thought, maybe it’s just as well it got edited.
I honestly think you should just go to Israel and try them out.
Daniel Rosen:
I agree with you that it is better to give one’s money to worthy causes. But it could be that someone needs to wear brand names in order to feel respectable in their social group.
But there are also people who just want to be the most stylish of their group. Some people need that, but for some people, it is a waste of money. Is that what you are talking about?
(mods, please delete my previous comment)
HaLeivi: Not necessarily that, also Nadav and Avihu. And Mishael and Elitzafan?
Yeshiva World.
rationalfrummie: Where do you see that the Taliban is rude?
dumlat, it’s not in my version of Pirkei Avos. Maybe Avos D’Rabbi Nosson? Avos D’Rabi Eliezer?
I was very accurate. 🙂
OOM: LOL
It sounds new age-y
Mochelli: I wonder if you are a troll.
Ms Critique: Both are excellent for people coming from Chassidish homes, but people not from the Chassidish community will feel less comfortable.
Gan Yisrael’s elementary school gives the children a lot of freedom to express themselves, and is less structured than other schools. Some children suffer from this, but others thrive from the lack of pressure. I personally would not send a child there without thoroughly checking that I was comfortable with the way the classroom was run.
Bais Bracha is a good heimish school, which is slightly more academic than other chassidish schools. It has a solid reputation.
Bais Yaakov of Boro Park elementary school is a wonderful school and the best one in Brooklyn in my opinion. They are the only school with a guidance counselor, a nurse, social workers, and staffed resource room. It is the biggest frum elementary school in Brooklyn and many people send at least one of their children there, if they are having difficulty in another school, since they have more resources. The principals are very involved and it is easy to get the help you need. They are also slightly more open minded than other Brooklyn schools.
Sam2: Why would pig’s hooves be muttar to eat?
The Goq: Hilarious.
I like OneOfMany’s best.
