    If the frum community had put more focus on not making a Chillul Hashem and following Dina D’malchusa, we wouldn’t be saying tehillim for certain people who are in jail for criminal activities. These people are not martyrs, nor are they victims of antisemitic governments. They are people who committed criminal activities and must face the consequences, no matter how harsh or unfair they seem.

    1. There is nothing wrong with teaching and/or studying evolution. Learning science does not turn a person into an apikores.
    2. Just as people focus on the wrongdoings that the Israeli government commits k’negged the Chareidi oilom, it should not be such a stretch to admit that there are occasional wrongdoings k’negged the Palestinians.
    3. Your kids Yeshivas, your shul and the Yeshivos you went to may not have a 30 page pamphlet with pictures of Gedolim and detailing all the segulos you will receive by giving tzedaka, but they are a #1, 2 and 3 priority for your tzedaka money.

    Most of the shidduch problem comes from the parents, not the people involved. Your average Yeshiva guy views 99% of the girls on the market as “very attractive”, it’s their mothers who demand pictures and say no if she’s not good enough. Your average Bais Yaakov girl will date any guy who knows how to learn, regardless of how many years and what Yeshiva he went to. It’s the mothers who insist on a guy with certain specific criteria.

    Yes. But I’m not the one who’s going to dress like an idiot.

    Seriously, that’s the mindset. It’s like when my wife wears a green dress (instead of black-and-white like everyone else) she gets tons of comments on how good she looks from people wearing black-and-white.

    You should have more than one shadchan. Chances are, this shadchan doesn’t have that many guys/girls that are suited for you, so he/she keeps pushing the one that is.

    This is nothing new. They’re a group of women based out of Ramat Beit Shemesh that have been promoting this “Taliban Tzniyus” for the past few years. There already have been numerous statements by rabbonim decrying their lifestyle, and one of the leaders was arrested on child neglect and abuse charges.

    This site is a schtickle gneivas da’as. (but I’m not paskening). All you need to do is go to google, and type “site:theyeshivaworld.com” or “site:theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom” to search for something. All j82.us does is add that in front of your google search and get money from advertisers. YWN mods, you should delete this sticky.

    They’re not in Yerushalayim, the recent attacks stemmed from a group centered in Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph. There was an article in Ami magazine over Sukkos that discussed it.

    And why do girls in preschool need to have a dress code that includes *only tights*, but no socks.

    Have you tried the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory? http://jhuapl.edu/

    They generally only hire right out of high school, but it’s worth a shot.
