    Supposedly, 1 out of 5 people are affected by mental illness. If you have 4 normal friends, it’s you.

    Seriously, everyone has something or other going on. I think some (read: a lot of) people hide it better than others, which comes in especially handy in shidduchim, whether talking about the chosson and kallah, or their family members.

    Bed-Stuy: True, but if you don’t have to pay for east coast housing etc., you don’t need as high of a salary.

    Indeed 🙂 Although Geauga County gets the brunt of the lake effect snow, anything north of Mansfield gets pounded every winter.

    Also, Telshe is in Wickliffe, which is in driving but not walking distance to the Cleveland Jewish community.

    I don’t know about Hebrew Academy, but I know families from outside Cleveland who send/have sent their girls to Yavneh (which is 7-12). They have a very nice, fairly new building. I have heard it has a swimming pool.

    I would move there myself it it weren’t for winter (and parnassa) 🙂

    Cleveland is a SUPER-nice community! Midwestern values, and housing is unbelievably affordable. The only drawback is winter. Cleveland has nice museums including the Great Lakes Science Center (which is better than Liberty Science Center in NJ IMO)and the Children’s Museum, both places my family has really enjoyed going to.

    They also have a world-class symphony orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall is easy to get to, and it’s only $10-15 to park. They have a summer concert series in a beautiful national park only 30 miles southeast of Cleveland. There is a ski resort near there with skiing and snowboarding.

    Passaic is nice but may not be out-of-town enough for some – lots of transplanted Brooklynites, and horrific east coast prices (even now with prices depressed).

    in reply to: What should we tell our children? #729379
    wanderingchana
    Participant

    If you have an attitude of fear of how they kids will handle being gone, the kids will pick up on that fear. If a mother has a lot on her plate, she may need a whole week to recharge. What if she is also taking care of sick parents/working full time/is chronically ill? Having said that, I’ve never done it…

    Definitely tell the kids!! They WILL feel abandoned, even if they don’t remember why years later. They don’t need to be told far in advance, but do tell.

    IMHO Disney movies are terrible. Either one or both parents are missing/dead/abusive and the young child/animal is forced to make it on their own. That’s the formula. But no one here is suggesting permanently abandoning children. They don’t compare.

    I’d be surprised if their husbands know.

    1) If money is that tight, maybe they should stick to pasta?

    2) “The other says that its “just” a derabbanan since theres no unkosher meat, and they eat it on disposable plates.” – I’d be curious to ask what her rav says about the fact that the pizza is baked in the same ovens as pepperoni and sausage.

    I am totally in favor of uniforms. Girls at our school can wear colorful tights and headbands, and colored/striped shirts for Rosh Chodesh.

    We had just moved to a new neighborhood and were invited to a family for Shabbos. I was in awe of the wife’s cooking skills and blurted out, “Where did you learn to cook like this??” I realized afterwards it didn’t sound quite like a compliment, and stumbled over myself, but I think I hurt her. I’ve seen her a few times since then and she’s been cool to me. I feel badly that I hurt her, but I’m afraid bringing it up again will just make it worse.

    If you want their behavior to change, maybe you should directly challenge them. “What do you need?” or “is there something I can help you with?” or even better “What are you looking for?”

    Are you talking about not shaking hands with members of the opposite gender, or shaking hands with anyone period?

    My pet peeve is the limp fish handshake. Come on, don’t take two fingers as if you think the other person has a communicable disease. A moderately firm yet brief grasp is polite in a business setting (but not with the opposite gender OF COURSE).
