The Y in Forest Hills has separate hours
azoi.is: My friend’s son is specifically looking for a quieter girl, he is quieter himself and feels overwhelmed by louder girls. If you would like to contact me, is there a way to that out of the cr?
farrockgrandma: You are absolutely correct. A gut shabbos greeting is just good manners.
wolf: You are frightening. Find yourslf a good psychiatrist asap.
pba: You are from a friendly, out of town community. You can’t possibly agree that saying gut shabbos is anything more than a perfunctory greeting, and is appropriate most anywhere except Brooklyn, where no one greets anyone nicely or wishes anyone well.
Speaking of large families, and the mother and grandmother of moderately large families, I have seen large families where the parents just get burnt out of parenting and let their younger children grow like weeds. If you can’t raise them, don’t have them
congrats bekitzur! I thought the questions you posted were examples, not actual questions, and that they were simple! Then my daughter came home and said she messed up on that one, so I just ate my words! Do you know that passing on the algebra regent this year is 31%?!
76th percentile. Glad you didn’t take the regent today! 🙂
Folks, its before pesach, everyone’s overworked, tired, and stressed. No need to take it out on each other in the CR. Just try to relax, its almost yom tov. Have a great one everybody!
To all of you posters who are speculating on the reasons, and whether or not YTY is justified in closing its gimel shiur, most of you do not have a clue as to what you are talking about. Obviously, the people who make the decisions are intelligent, considerate people who weighed all the factors before reaching a decision. If it was done, its because it had to be done for many reasons. This thread should probably be closed as it is really ridiculous.
amen!

Sorry then, I thought you were referring to the yeshiva in e”y.
If you google maarava, it will give you all of the contact information and basic type of yeshiva. It is set up more like an American yeshiva, with secular studies for part of the day. The staff are involved and caring, and do their jobs well.
I appreciate that there are those among you who feel that the fathers/husbands should be the ones to set the ground rules in the home regarding tznius, as for most other halachically based issues. Sadly, however, men across the orthodox/yehsivish/ chasidish spectrum do not really know what is appropriate for women and girls to wear; they just don’t understand the nuances of a little too tight, too revealing, too suggestive, etc. Women, however, do know the difference, but unfortunately even among those who are very sensitive, the more you see of a mode a dress, the more acceptable it becomes. It is the responsibility of mothers, who are the ones who take their children shopping or buy their clothing, to take care not to dress their daughters even at a very young age, in anything that they would consider inappropriate as a teenager. This does not include things like pants and short sleeves, because these are things that girls naturally stop wearing because they know that a frum girl does not wear these things. (I am referring to your mainstream girl, not someone rebellious.) I am referring to styles that are cut inappropriately, fit inappropriately, are styled in a way that a frum woman should not dress, even if all of the correct body parts are completely covered. Dresses or skirts that just hit the knee and are straight cut, or pencil skirts, cannot possibly be long enough when sitting. Too tight lace tops with nude colored shells underneath are obviously suggestive of wearing nothing at all underneath. Only mothers, older sisters, or other female role models understand these things and can lovingly guide their charges into wanting to dress appropriately. Strict “no”s are not necessarily the way to go in this day and age. Rather, having the girl/teen assess the article of clothing as she tries it on and coming to the conclusion herself may be much more effective. As a first time poster, I am sure there will be those of you who will have many strong comments in favor and against; so be it. I will not be responding to posts regarding my comments, not because I am copping out, but because I don’t think I have anything more to say. Gut voch to you all!
