    “He didn’t mean somewhere where not wearing a hat is considered tolerable/acceptable.”

    Why should their laxness make any difference? There are places where they have no mechitzas and do all kinds of stuff. We ignore them not join the club.

    No chiddushim here but really the only way to appreciate Shabbos is to first learn about Shabbos, both what Shabbos is all about and its importance for a Jew, and the Halachos. Then you can come up with various ways to make it more meaningful, but first you need to know what you are doing and why and how to do it.

    Funny. Yet Rav Chaim Kannievsky says it’s better to daven biyechidus then without a hat and jacket. I’ll go with him on this one.

    I don’t want to keep hocking away at you but I honestly think someone who is holding where you are is taking a huge risk being here. There are many threads which go off topic and suddenly become about these kinds of questions. I have been here for too many years I know what happens here. I am not concerned for myself about these threads because I’ve already read many articles and books that discuss these topics as well as listened to many lectures about it. But for most young teens these threads are poison. You have no right to play games with this. You wouldn’t take such risks with your money or your health why would you risk your neshama your eternity so flippantly?

    “I’m davening I’ll be strong enough to deal with everything. “

    And I guarantee that Hashem will not answer such a prayer. You admitted that this place ruins your emunah and you had to speak to a Rav for 3 hours to get back on track. You can’t just run back here like this. Hashem will not help you. You need to help you first.

    What if this bochur has a “problem” waking up on time for Shacharis (i.e. wakes up usually after 10, 10 is early and davens biyechidus), would that change how you would handle it?

    Moreover, the essence of the question and others is what time parents…should attempt to enforce but I knew you were smart enough to figure that out.

    I don’t get it, if this place is dangerous to your Emunah you have no business coming back even if it helps you with your boredom or other issues. Do you think it is fair to the Rabbi who spent 3 hours trying to bring you back from your doubts? Maybe you should discuss your decision with him.

    It would seem that the overeducating of girls has produced more bad than good as far as far as shalom Bayis is concerned. Many girls feel that they know just as much as their husbands sometimes they know more and it causes them to look down on their husbands and feel superior. This of course leads to serious shalom Bayis issues because the wife doesn’t hold her husband in high esteem.

    I really hope the mods clamp down on what they allow to be discussed here. If you want to have ikrei Emunah discussed here you must have a Rav moderating the discussion. Who knows how many people have already been turned off from yiddishkiet due to things they read here?!

    There is plenty of satisfaction in studying Tanach with the meforshim as well as Halacha beiyun. Its not the same as Gemara but its quite enjoyable. There are plenty of people that really enjoy simply learning Chumash Rashi or Chumash with Ramban. Its an enjoyable limud. Theres plenty of gishmack things women can learn.

    The Gemara in Avodah Zara daf 17 or 18 talks about not entering into a situation that is a nisayon. We are not supposed to look for nisyonos. Nisyonos will come our way regardless of what we do. Every time you walk down the street theres various nisyonos. Theres laways nisyonos no matter what you do and where you go. The point is one must do everything in his ability to live a life sheltered from nisyonos and still be normal. You don’t have to live in a cave, just generally try to live a life that avoids nisyonos. Meaning many things in life have an approach which is easier and more convenient but it is assur outright or will put you in a situation fraught with nisyonos where you will end up caving in and doing things you shouldnt which are assur therefore one may not pursue such a thing whatever it may be.

    You are right. Most of them have struggled with their desires. They wish that they could change, but they are not able to do it by themselves. They all know that child molesters are hated and despised by society and they believe that no one could really understand their situation. Many know they need help but don’t have the courage to seek it.

    Although many molesters would really like to talk to someone, they also know there are many reasons to not talk about their feelings and actions. They believe they have everything to lose if they confess. They risk losing their marriage, their children, their home, their friends, their job, and their freedom. They fear embarrassment and humiliation. They are afraid of how the interviewer is going to react to them if and when they make that first admission of guilt. And child molesters fear going to prison. They have heard and read stories about what happens to child molesters in prison.

    You can choose to make fun of molesters but there’snothing funny about the topic. These people are deeply ill. Their whole mind is warped. They don’t want to be that way. Although I have no mercy on someone who ruins someone else’s life, I still understand that they molesters are also suffering. Many times they become this way because of the cycle of abuse where somebody close to them abused when they were young. Its a complicated topic. Not as joking matter.

    Most single young post sem girls today can’t go to college without it taking a heavy toll on their ruchniyus. I’m sure Torah can fill you in. You can’t do something that’s assur or something that will likely put you in spiritual danger because you will make more money and be able to give tzedakah.

    Who is the One who said that we should give tzedakah?

    Who is the One who provides Parnassah?

    In Judaism the ends never justify the means you can’t do an issur even if it will enable you to do many mitzvos. Many people don’t know this but the shulchon aruch pasken that one must spend all the money he has not to be oiver on an aveira. Think about that one.

    The people you mentioned are a lot older than you. Some may be twice your age or more. I don’t know if any of them are smarter than you. It really has to do with using your time and learning properly and in an involved manner so that you remember. It could be they have above average intelligence but I don’t think anyone here is a genius. Just well learned. Spend less time on your gadgets and more time with your head in a sefer and you could do it too.

    Now that that’s out of the way… Does it really need to be Roche? Are you a Roche Yeshiva? I know there’s a firster hat store on meah shearim but I don’t know if they have Roche but they likely have something similar.
