OK, I did research. Where does you ‘Mommy’ get into the picture? But let me tell you a story of my ‘Tatty’.

My father shlit”a was a devoted and sought after rebbe, in a well established yeshiva. He must have had hundreds of talmidim if not more, throughout his career. His warmth, geshmack, ehrlichkeit were unparalleled.

At one point during this wonderful period, he noticed a tangible coolness and a distancing from the principal and administrators. He weathered it out and finished the year successfully.

Many years later he stopped being a rebbe, and became a noted askan. At one point he was attending some sort of simcha, and was asked to speak. At the close of the simcha, the Rav present called my father aside and spoke to him…

It was many years ago, he was a boy in Yeshiva, he (father) was his rebbe. His best friend was in the other (parallel) class, and he really wanted to change to the other one. So he made up this story that his rebbe (father) potched him hard. (In all the years, hundreds of talmidim, no one can remember my father potching once! He had and has a different way of working.) That he told his father, and his father, being some big-wig, made a big tumult… came down to yeshiva… Now, grown up (and a Rav) he asks mechila.

So Aries. This boy has ‘raglaim ledavar’, he ‘knows’, he ‘felt’. There’s no need for daas Torah… A kid says, run to police. Sorry, this site is called Yeshivaworld, Torah ideals should prevail. Now if there’s another credibly Daas Torah backing you, well, that’s a different story. But then again, we’re not following our own baseless sechel, we submit to daas Torah. Naaseh V’nishma, we will do whatever HaShem says to do.

Now at last I see the issue you were so agitated about. I generally steer clear of politics, my little say would have absolutely no effect whatsoever, hence my mixing in would be totally loshon hara, richilus, machlokes, onaas devarim and a host of other cute little averos.

But maybe in this instance, it would be ????, worthwhile to find out what daas Torah is first, before jumping to action. – my very humblekite.

Aries:

I always looked up to you and your delightful and insightful articles. Full of invaluable practicable advice and emotional support. All with a clear, level-headedness approach. I don’t know what the issue at hand is (maybe I shouldn’t), but why the sudden change?

If I knew how to write more, maybe I would.

Why are you so into suicide?

Because it’s such a lively subject!

I’m a “Big Kid” now. So now I can reflect on my feelings.

In my extremely humble opinion sometimes it’s best to do Vayidom Aharon. Respectfully remaining silent, reflecting and meditating in silence. Words cannot do justice to either comfort or reproach. In such a case, as a tribute to Klal Yisroel, we have all become somewhat mourners. Hence many people have become agitated or disturbed at other peoples attempt to put their own feelings or ideas into words. As Koheles said “A time to be silent…”

ZeesKite was out of order this past week.

Why can’t you ask us?

Lucky you. Look what they did (& are doing) to me.

How about to DELETE an awful one?

If the mods don’t like you (anymore)..

..they change (& keep changing) your subtitle.

I don’t know about the show, any show (I’m not that educated) but I sure do feel like some puppet.

No. Not Nachlei Emunah or any other pronunciation of it. And no. We don’t participate in Melave Malka’s in Walmart, stores, bowling etc. B”H we’re in a nice Torah’dig edele, heimishe surrounding. Really nice people.

Gefen: Thanks!

Please, I beg, beg, beg all esteemed members, please do NOT suspect me of this. It’s a MODs whim. I’d rather not state some of my feelings, but that’s what it appears to be. I aspire to be, well, ZeesKite – nothing else. Peace unto you all, friends and otherwise (why would someone want to be otherwise?)

Monticello country!!! (south, of course)
