    Very often kids don’t listen especially when they get into their moods. Also if the father doesn’t want to talk during laining and he needs to drag his disobedient kid out of shul he has no choice but to grab him or her firmly and march him or her out. I didn’t witness the situation but even if I did I really wouldn’t know how hard the father was holding her. However I am pretty sure that if he was hurting her she would have started crying or said ow ouch it hurts or started screeching or something similar. So lets not brand people as child abusers over a minor incident. As much as you think you will be the perfect father you will also get it wrong many times and I hope nobody sees and judges you the way you are judging this man. Lets not be so busy with how this guy parents his kid when it is possible and quite likely under the circumstances that he had no other choice but to firmly walk her out so as not to disrupt the laining.

    Would you slow down. The financial situation is not what it used to be. Many homes no longer open on Purim and even those that do have shorter hours and give a lot less than they used to. I know some groups who collected last year by night and day and dint hit the $2000 mark. Maybe some of the older group of BM boys over 20 are still able to haul in a few thousand but the kids in the limos for the most part don’t make that much.

    Im not sure this qualifies for literal child abuse but it is bad chinuch. The truth is little kids don’t belong in shul unless they can play outside with the other kids. If they are too young or too clingy to their parents they belong home. There’s no inyan to bring a little girl to Shul unless your goal is to bore her to death and disturb your fellow congregants in the process.

    Some parents are just plain stupid when it cones to these simple common sense things.The crying babies on Rosh Hoshanah is inexcusable. I mean seriously you want it on your cheshbon that you disturbed a whole shul concentration by Shemonah esrei musaf of Rosh Hashanah?! And you think you’re gonna have a good year?! Naar vos du bist!

    These organizations are ruining the mitzvah of Tzeddukah for klal Yisrael and I firmly believe that many of these Tzeddukah organizations should not be getting a penny from anyone who really wants to do the mitzvah of Tzeddukah.

    I actually very rarely give to the organizations that run splashy chinese auctions and raffles. The lower budget Tzeddukahs that don’t waste fortunes on advertising and all kinds of videos and gimmicks are more real and should receive our masser money. The more a Tzeddakah spends on advertising the less they can expect from me.

    They asked someone in our group who just said sure and they jumped in. It happened quite quickly and none of is were sober. We were regular teenage boys with booze in our system. I like to think that some of us in the group would have said no if asked but who knows. Most teens and even adults tend to let themselves down with their conduct when tipsy. Unless you are a seasoned drinker who can hold his alcohol and keep his wits you are no different and would.also make lapses in judgment. I’ve been by many a kiddush where an adult had one too many and we heard “things.”

    But either way I think the main issue is boys shouldn’t be drinking because it leads to all kinds of behavior. The Limo is a side issue.

    When alcohol is involved and with loose girls out on the streets looking to cause trouble all bets are off. When I went collecting about 10 years ago there were plenty of issues of guys doing things they would never ever do but yknow its Purim and Purim means free reign to do anything. I remember clearly one Purim we were collecting and these girls just approached us on the streets of Flatbush and asked us “can we check out your limo it looks so so cool” and of course we couldn’t say no…

    Its crucial that anyone going in a limo goes with a good group of guys but its certainly something that can lead to trouble.

    I was told that Rav Moshe held that bizman hazeh there is no longer such a thing as tinok shenishbah so basically they are all meizidim of some degree. They know they are Jewish and they know that there is such a thing as being an Orthodox Jew and they have an obligation to pursue their heritage.

    I took them and lost some weight, gained it all back after being off it. Also I found out they are illegal and the guy was taking huge risks bringing them in. They are illegal for a reason. There are other diet pills that are not illegal that you can try. Look into Qysmia.

    Just fyi, I live in BP and said Good Shabbos to everyone I passed, granted I only walked a block and a half to Shul this Shabbos, but even though I look “litvish” in that I wear a bend down and no beard, (NO BEARD?! YES, NO BEARD) I received a good Shabbos back from EVERYONE. You should know that most people will not be the first to say the good Shabbos, but if you say good Shabbos I think 99.99% will respond with a gut shabbos.

    These days the groups collect so much less than they used to so most of the money will be going to the limo its mamish a waste of tzeddaka money. Furthermore, limos can lead to issues and you have every right to be worried. If you can convince him out of it, thats the best idea. If he is adamant about it you may have a problem.

    If any part of it is unkosher ie. not in acordance with Halacha the whole “thing” is a chillul Hashem. Get that straight a lot of people dont understand this. If the whole thing is not in accordance with Hashems Will and part of it is a chillul Hashem then the story, issue whatever under discussion CANT be a Kiddush Hashem.

    “Worrying about the ever increasing pile of random literature at my seat in shul, where it came from and why there’s no sheimos box”

    LOL. I was once in a shul where almost half teh table was covered with these papers. There are just way too many of them especially in chassidish shuls. I think it has really made it impossible to Daven for a lot of people due to it being a “yetzer hora” to read it instead of davening.

    You dated a girl for four months?

    Under most circumstances especially in the Yeshivish velt that is way too long. But with older people dating, or divorcees…longer dating is more normal and accepted. However four months if they see each other more than 2x a week is a lot in all circumstances me thinks.
