Ever hear of Darka Achrina?
You are not allowed to WILLINGLY expose yourself to pritzus. Taking a train is a must because you have to get to work. You don’t have to go to a game and I don’t think there’s any Rav worth his salt who knows what goes on at a game and what one is exposed to that will give a Heter for men to go.
Off the Derech in my opinion is someone who just does what they want and follows their whims and desires. They can even look externally “frum” whatever that means these days…They live a life of convenience. If its convenient to text on Shabbos they text on Shabbos if its convenient to eat something non kosher they do that if its convenient to look at pritzus or do things that are pritzus they do that. They talk how they feel is convenient…in other words I think its prikos ol malchus shamayim. Whatever is easy convenient or pleasurable they are there regardless of what the Torah says about it.

I haven’t posted here in a while but I feel that I have something important to say so I will say it and you can do what you want with it.
Im not a Rav or even a big Talmud Chacham but all these tragedies have got me thinking that what Hashem wants is rather obvious.
What happens when people suddenly or even not so suddenly are niftar? It shocks people, it wakes us up, makes us aware of the value of life and makes are hearts FEEL, we feel pain, hurt, loss…
I think Hashem is trying to revive our hearts. At the end of the day all of the issues we have has a root in the issue that our HEARTS are not in our Judaism. We aren’t feeling it we don’t feel love for Hashem (or each other) and we don’t serve Hashem with enthusiasm. Our hearts are dead. We have no emotions or feelings when we do mitzvos. Do we feel when we Daven? We may want to feel but do we FEEL? Do we try to get close to Hashem? Do we think about Him? Our lives are so materialistic so external and focused on the outside. We all walk around with unfeeling hearts. I think that at the core of it Hashem is trying to get us His children who he loves so much to start loving Him back! We need to put the joy the simcha the enJOYment back into our Yiddishkiet. We can’t go on llike this. We don’t want to keep reading and hearing about tragedies. We must find a way to feel again. Get close to a Rav or Rebbetzin seek out Daas Torah and find out how to reconnect to Hashem. Most importantly, never give up ever! If you fail try again! The Kotzker famously said the longest distance on Earth is the distance from the head to the heart. Its a very difficult task to get the heart working but its what we need if we want to bring Moshiach. Face it, Hashem will not bring Moshiach to people who don’t genuinely want it coming from deep in their heart. If we don’t really want to serve Hashem then theres no point for Moshiach to come its a waste of time literally!

Thank you for being a mentsch about it.

With all due respect I would like to remind you of this thread.
This is nothing personal chas veshalom. I think you are a great guy and have a lot of musical talent and really know how to write a rock song(I listened to some of the songs briefly I think the first 2 you posted but didnt hear the whole thing because I dont listen to rock music anymore.) However please dont discuss the music here, the names of bands, songs or singers. Lets keep this a Yeshiva world coffee room that is preparing for the Yom Hadin.

Maybe you are right. But I have been hit and screamed at plenty growing up and I don’t bear a grudge. I know that the ones who hit and screamed are misguided and I feel that they had no business being in Chinuch. Additionally I feel like health said that kids need to be handled with care by mechanchim and their parents. I just don’t see the point in bashing our Rabbeim principals Yeshivos…Baruch Hashem Jewish education has come a long way and to my knowledge it is unheard of even in a chassidish school that a kid will be hit even though 5 years ago that was still going on.
I can’t change the past and I may have turned out differently had I been treated differently by my Rabbeim. However I am who I am and Hashem wanted me to experience what I experienced so I learn from it and be a better person because of or in spite of it.
Would someone quote a source instead of opinion?
Popa
BOO HOO you got screamed at. Try getting beaten in 2nd grade in front of the whole class and a few Rabbeim with a wooden stick by your principal!! I have other stories that I would rather not recall or recount. It is no secret that many of the people that went into chinuch had no training and had no business going into chinuch. I just don’t see the point of a thread bashing Rabbeim and educators.

I like the thumping UP idea and showing who thumbed up.

good post!

Its not easy to get them to stop fighting and they may not stop just because it bothers you.
For your own sake I would recommend you find someone to talk to as well as a place to spend time at because your home sounds like a toxic environment and if it hasn’t already ruined you it most certainly will over time with enough exposure.

Corner beef has its merits. Besides it can’t always be pastrami.

Please DO NOT share with us the name of that chat room. We have enoughost yetzer horas as it is. We don’t need any more temptations.
You should be appreciative to Hashem for the cow that provides us with milk and beef.
U are making me hungry. Can I come over for some? Lol.

If someone says they are a guy who lives in boro park that doesn’t give away that much private info that would enable one to figure out who you are considering how many frum guys live in BP. If you said you go to Bayis Yakov plonis and are in the 8th grade and so and so is your teacher then yeah it won’t be too tough to figure out who you are for someone who may know you or knows that class. Farshtei?

It seems like today is a day to argue semantics.
AYC
There’s a difference between saying you go to X school and are studying for X and saying Im a guy/girl live in borough park/flatbush.
If someone doesn’t mind using their name then obviously they don’t want anonymity. Although many people make up names on forums.
Common sense says that someone who is divorced (unless you know for a fact that the divorce was for the exceptional reasons above) would not make a great choice in marriage therapist. If you want coaching on how to get divorced that’s a different story.
Same thing common sense says the fat nutritionist or “personal trainer” is not the best choice. Im not saying there can’t be exceptions Im only saying what common sense dictates.
AYC
I see you don’t answer any questions about your location, gender….
AYC
You don’t but you know for a fact that the divorced therapist had an unhappy one so when looking for a therapist I think it makes sense to look for one who you can assume and hope has a good marriage versus the one you know for a fact has had a bad one. Im done here. This is a common sense argument you don’t have to agree with me but this isn’t something that needs to be argued. I hope you should never need a therapist but if you ever do Im sure you won’t make the divorced one your first choice unless you know that this person comes very highly recommended and is better than all of the non divorced therapists.
AYC
That’s true. Are you a boro parker?
AYC
All Im saying is that on the surface it makes no sense to see a divorced MARRIAGE COUNSELOR or therapist. There’s no way if knowing why they got divorced but common sense says use someone who has a happy marriage.
AYC
Well there’s no way of knowing why the therapist separated and since most marriages are dissolved due to the lack of will to make it work it would seem thatthe divorced therapist doesn’t believe in what she preaches or has no clue what she is talking about or how to put it into practice. Personally I think the best person to take relationship advice from is one who has GREAT relationships.
