    Tahini, please finish your sentence, a young woman off the derech that is trying to destroy and bring misery upon many lives, young and old..

    by condemning a beast that stops for nothing in order to get her few minutes of attention and a few bucks, poking fun at Torah umitzvos, and on thousands of people, stabbing a big knife into the back of her community, friends and family, is one of the worst that can be.

    we grew up this way, whenever something (seemingly) bad happened in our house, my father used to lift up his hands and say a big loud “boruch hashem!”, or gam zee letovah, sometimes we really thought he has just got a good business deal, or heard a great besura, but how shocke did I get when I realized he has just cut his finger, or dropped and broke a crystal bowl..

    Was standing yesterday in front of Mt. Sinai hospital where I went to stay with a patient, the way to the hospital I made with the free bikur cholim bus (satmar), the way back I missed it, I was quite lost there, since no yellow cab wanted to stop or pick me up (of course they don’t wanna go across the bridge..), I called “Chesed”, and within 15 minutes I had a free ride home! and still had time to run in to “bikur cholim room” to get some refreshments before leaving..

    The amounts of chesed done by those volunteers is unbelievable!

    Sorry I missed most of the argument, but from what I see here, some ppl are missing the halachic difference between one who is not oseh masseh amchoh, so he would not be included in “amisechoh”, so there’s no issur to hate that person, versus one who may be very bad, and there may be many consequenses he may face by all of us, but is still included in “amisechoh”, so there no heter to hate that person. period.

    And I’m still shocked and surprised that some clueless ppl would still stand up for a person who has took a vicious and humiliating step towards her own family, all frum yidden and am yisroel in general, plus against hashem and the Torah, she is definitely not included in “amisechoh”, and especially when she clearly states she’s not keeping the torah, she is only making fun of torah umitzvos. End of story.

    Heard from Skulener rebbe shlit”a a few similar stories, with women that were seriously ill and they took upon themselves to dress more tznius’dig, or started to shave their heads and cover it, and the illness disappeared.

    3) 1:30 am, young Mr. Gold all of 24 years old, along with his sister even younger, standing at their mom’s bedside in the emergency room biting their nails, something has to be done right away, life & death decisions, 1 resident doctor heads to surgery yelling “in the operating room now otherwise she will die”! While another floor doctor says it should wait till the morning for more tests and suggests to wait for a big doctor to have the last word..

    With no experience on their hands whatsoever, situation looks grim, they are lost.. Only until a relative gave them a handful of phone numbers to referral and help agencies, to their shocking surprise, within minutes after they finished speaking to a volunteer whom they woke up and discussed the matter at length, a big doctor shows up to see their mother..

    The volunteer was guiding them weeks & weeks through the entire ordeal until the patient was back home, he and one of his associates came down in person a few times to meet with doctors and to ensure the best service and care..

    Same story happens on a steady basis with a Mr. Silver, Mrs. Diamond and Mrs. Pearl, those selfless volunteers are ready 24/7 to give away their time and energy to assist and help a brother in need..

    Derech, you got the point, Charedim is not limited to chasidish only or yeshivish only, it’s a general term for frum yidden, torah observant people with so much positive activity, with such devotion and selflessness, as a volunteer for one the organizations I keep on witnessing unlimited amounts of chesed and mesiras nefesh to another yid, regardless of race or which circle one belongs.

    Mi k’amcha Yisroel!

    2) Staring up at the ceiling for the third hour straight, except for the nurses coming every now and then to measure the temperature & blood pressure or drawing some blood, she hasn’t seen anybody today, the beeping sounds of all heart and pulse monitors are simply adding to the depressing dense air..

    Laying in the hospital bed is very painful, sometimes depressing, and very boring, only until the volunteer ladies come marching in, with their smile, delivering a fresh warm ‘custom’ meal, tailored to each patient personally according to their abilities and allowances, wrapped in motherly soothing chizuk, and platinum words..

    Yep, 100’s of busy men, mothers, grand mothers and working girls are taking off from their precious time to do “Bikur cholim” calls on a steady basis..

    Not to forget about the bikur cholim rooms in the hospitals, being refilled daily with fresh kosher food, books and more, even cables to charge any cell phone.. Those meals are being cooked, baked and prepared by another fleet of volunteers.

    Not to forget the numerous boarding places near most major hospitals in many states, how about the bikur cholim buses to and from the hospitals?..

    hey, almost forgot, when the huge hospital bills arrive, the patient almost getting another heart attack opening the bills.. No worries, bikur cholim would chip in a nice chunk to get it of the patients frail shoulders..

    I did read many parts of the book, its mostly lies and complete fabrications from top to bottom, and even those episodes or remarks that aren’t totally fabricated, are exaggerated by far, way twisted and totally taken out of context.
