Im really sick and tired of Tzeddakah organizations “using” Gedolim to con people into giving. Im not saying they arent a worthy organization but theres no need to guilt people or to make ridiculous promises. I dont even believe Rav Kannievsky said that it makes no sense with all due respect to the Gadlus of Rav Chaim he cant back up such a promise and nobody in this generation could.

A married man doesnt have to sleep in a sukkah. Check the Mishnah berurah in Hilchos Yeshivas hasukkah its in there I just saw it a few days ago.

“I guess you are right…
But it is also a 2 way street I dont hafta marry someone with such a poor attitude.”
You are right but many learning boys have this attitude because thats the reality of the shidduch scene today. Im sure there are some boys out there who dont have this attitude but you have to think of it from a guys perspective and also his parents perspective. If a guy can get a great girl and be supported by her parents why not look for such a shidduch as opposed to a shidduch where his parents will have to shell out a lot of money towards the couples expenses? The situation is that a learning boy is in demand and therefore he can ask for things which you may find unreasonable and come from an attitude entitlement and still get it because thats what other guys are getting.

Is there something wrong with a boy who wants to sit and learn and have financial security? Sounds reasonable to me.
Blinky good riddle
Day one: cut off a segment and pay them. They now have one segment.
Day three: Give them the single segment again. They now have three segments
Day four: give them the remaining piece with 4 segments and ask for all the other bits back. They now have 4 segments.
Day five: give them the single segment. They now have 5 segments.
Day 7: give them the single segment. They now have 7 segments.

I hear the potential for Loshon Hara. You are right its not such a great idea.

Thanks for starting this. I should have been clearer, what I actually had in mind was like what you did with those seminaries in the US and take some of the more known seminaries in Israel like BJJ Hadar Bnos Chava BYA….and do like a small synopsis on what they are about. Maybe I’m asking for too much but it would certainly be enlightening for the guys here.

You can buy cheap kosher sets the day before or day of Erev Yom Tov. If anything, tell your husband to take your son with him when they shop for the set he will be excited by the experience and it will give him an appreciation for mitvos. Take advantage of every opportunity to give your kid a love and enthusiasm for mitzvos.

If someones life is in danger or someone is in danger of doing an aveirah you save the persons life. Life comes before everything.

Now thats a refreshing and intelligent thought. Maybe thats what we are missing, starting on the girls from a young age. I like it.
I asked a Rav if it is ok to buy a Possul set for a kid. He said if the kid will be making a Bracha on it, it is preferable to buy a Kosher set. Just a heads up.

If you save someones guf you save their neshamah as well use logic!

Your idea of handing out cards is absurd and highly inappropriate. Frankly I’m surprised you haven’t been beaten up yet by some girls boy friend. Either way I don’t know of one mainstream Orthodox Rav who would say it is ok for a man to hand out cards about Tznius to women. The very act lacks Tznius and I can’t imagine what heter there would be to expose yourself to pritzus and to look at women just to give them cards. You are exposing yourself to pritzus. You will do more good by watching your eyes. You don’t know what a zchus it is for a man to watch his eyes in this Dor where the pritzus is everywhere.
Do what I do walk with my eyes looking down. Even doing that occassionally when I do look up I am bothered by what I see non Jewish girls go out naked. I frankly can’t understand what ben torah would willingly expose himself to the pritzus out there.
Well he had students during his lifetime and they were Jews who he took off thederech and taught them heretical teachings. That’s called a chotei umachti and a Meisis. There’s no doubt he is a Rasha. I’m not sure why someone calling him a Rasha is bothering you. It may be something you should think about.
You should really speak to a Rav or Rabbanit. do you have any Seminary teachers you can contact or teachers from high school who you can speak to and who’s advice would be beneficial?
By the way if shiurim don’t work then you should have a mentor. Another thing that I find very beneficial is reading various self help books and sefarim.
Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller wrote many great books. Look into them and see if they appeal to you.

That’s true. I honestly don’t know what artchill is talking about.
Artchill,
I don’t want to get into a whole stink about it but if someone has the right Hashkafos, they will realize that one doesn’t lose money from doing mitzvos and more importantly Hashem gives us money so that we use it to do mitzvos, if one cheaps out on mitzvos then Hashem will just give him less and less money. Its really ugly to cheap out on mitzvos. A Kosher set of Arba minim is $40 especially the day before or day of erev yom tov. If someone doesn’t want to pay that money don’t plead poverty say straight out that my cigarettes, fancy clothing, restaurant meals and other luxuries are more important to me than the mitzvos of Hashem and I won’t be bothered laying out a measly $40 for a mitzvah.
I wonder if the child will be making a Bracha on it if Halachically it would be better if the set should be Kosher?
Aishes Chayil
Actually considering that his intention was to make himself a god and make a new religion and take Yidden away from Yiddishkiet its an understatement to call him a rasha.

Its to early in the morning to be getting us all misty eyed. Very touching story and so true. There are many non frum that would change or do more mitzvos if we would only make a move and offer them the chance.
The viduy is in the Artscroll machzor.
Well off the top of my head I would tell you to not use the name of the person who started Christianity as your id!!!
Gmar Chasima Tova and a gut gebenched yur to all!
