This book is a memoir of a woman named Deborah Feldman, who apparently is a former Satmar from Williamsburg, and is being published by a large publishing house with their full PR machine in action. Right up front, she admits that she came from a highly dysfunctional family - her father was mentally ill and her mother went off when she was still a child. She was raised by her grandparents. My reason for posting this is that I was shocked by the amount of positive response to her story - people seem to feel that she was writing the story of a woman escaping from the Taliban. Between the recent incidents in Israel and this, the frum velt has had a lot of negative publicity lately. What can we do to reverse the tide? Our books about those who do tshuva are only published by our own book companies, and never get this kind of main stream exposure. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/goyim-copying-yiddishe-minhagim#post-353082 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:50:10 +0000 sushe 353082@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Many times in our history we ceased minhagim because the goyim copied them.

I want to start having a thread updated every Motzai Shabbos dedicated to Divrei Chizzuk only. </p> <p>One can either cut and paste an inspiring vort from a Torah website or write from what they saw in a sefer or heard in a shiur...When doing so, please quote the sefer or Rav you heard it from if you remember.<br /> If you are making up your own "vort" please say that it is your own.<br /> Now on to tonight vort.</p> <p>Tefila: Kotzer Rebbe: It's Late, But Not Too Late<br /> By Maariv in the Bracha of Hashkiveinu we ask Hashem, "V'Haser Satan Milfaneinu U'Mei Achoreinu", the remove the Yetzer Hara from in front of us and from behind us. What does this mean?</p> <p>The seforim answer that when we want to do something good the Satan tells us there is no rush, start "tomorrow". Yet tomorrow never comes because there is always another tomorrow. But if we are ready, anxious, and willing to star immediately the Satan employs a different strategy. He tells us it is too late. Had we done it yesterday it would have been great, but not anymore.</p> <p>We ask Hashem to remove both these obstacles to our good deeds and self improvement. We ask Hashem to remove the Satan standing before us blocking us from taking action today. We also ask Hashem to remove the Satan from our rear-view mirror telling us to look back and see we missed our chance. This is the Kotzker saying, "It is always late but never too late".</p> <p>From Revach.net </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/major-performance-anxiety-please-help#post-352855 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:35:15 +0000 grw613 352855@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Does anyone know of a warm caring competent therapist who can help with performance anxiety/fear of public speaking?

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE UP ANSWER!!! The person who has the right answer can ask a new one. </p> <p>Here's the first question!<br /> (It requires a little background so I'm copying and pasting from a website off google)</p> <p>The Talmud (Sanhedrin 102b) relates how Rav Ashei told his students that they were going to study the following day about the three kings of the Jewish people who do not have a share in the world to come due to their great sins. He referred to these kings in a slightly disrespectful way by calling them "our colleagues". The following night, King Menashe came to him in a dream and asked him a halachic question that he could not answer. He reproved him by saying, "You call us your colleagues. You cannot even answer this simple question". Rav Ashei asked him, "If you are such a great scholar, how could you go and serve idols?" To this Menashe said, "If you had been in our times, you would have lifted up your garments and run after me to serve the idols." As it says in Pirkei Avos (2:5) "Do not judge your fellow until you have reached his place." </p> <p>So my question is,<br /> What was the halachic question that Menashe asked him? And what was the right answer? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/our-dor-and-the-dor-hamabul#post-352158 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:24:13 +0000 Imma613 352158@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>So I was thinking this morning that in some ways we may be just as bad as the dor hamabul. They were committing toeiva and many states are legalizing toeiva marriage. Their fate was sealed because of petty theft - wouldn't our copying music constitute petty theft as well? Baruch Hashem we have many more tzaddikim than one Noach, but we also have much more Torah easily accessible than he did...</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/camp-2#post-353282 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:13:01 +0000 shlump 353282@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Any one hear of Camp Lake Mont, a new camp opening in Vermont? what types of girls are going? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/life-insurance-halacha-issue#post-353054 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:33:13 +0000 Think first 353054@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Has anyone ever heard of a halachic problem regarding buying life insurance? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/snip#post-352457 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:18:59 +0000 bpt 352457@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>That's the sound of the padlock being cut from the Lakewood freezer vault.

Currently we pay 12k$ for horrible insurance. We pay another 5k for copays and doctors out of network when we need to (the coverage is awful but the best insurance is 18k a year).</p> <p>We then pay another 7-12k for dentistry (including braces for my children). The total bill is around 30k a year. This is ridiculous since I have employees not paying 1 cent for health care - which I dont mind - but they have much better coverage from child health plus or medicaid. Does anyone have any idea what we can do? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/whats-the-argument-against-having-a-madina#post-344815 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:31:03 +0000 Abelleh 344815@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Most people are fans of having a Madina in Eretz Yisrael I think.

They were promised an apt, a job, good education for their children. They were then reported to the authorities as unfit parents, children taken away from them, told to collect for the community and given a mere 5% of the collection as their way of giving them money to live on!! One of their children died because of a "caring" neighbor and they never got to see her even after she was niftar. 7 of their children were taken away by this community. The wife then moved to Israel while pregnant while the husband stayed in the US becaused he was promised (once again) help from this community in getting his children back. They did not get their children, yet and the husband moved to Israel to be with his wife and new son.</p> <p>I am sitting here crying my eyes out, not only out of pity for this poor family, but rather because this whole situation happened because of lies and deceit! And not just by anyone, but by our brothers! Our own brothers who look and talk like Jews but this story has changed my opinion of them. I cant stand that i feel this way because I have always known this community as one of chessed. </p> <p>I'm so hurt and confused... </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/marrying-within-a-chasidus#post-353105 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:34:13 +0000 sushe 353105@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Which Chasidus' (if any - I heard possibly Belz) are makpid to only marry within the Chasidus?

How is your self control? I was just visiting a friend and on the front door they had a large handwritten sign saying "WELCOME SAVTA!". I dont know what came over me, but I had a very strong urge to change the V to an N!! Oh what a strong urge! Of course I didnt but it would have been very funny. Do we ever really grow up? What have been your childish moments? Do share them with us. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mba#post-352930 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:55:49 +0000 new2thescene 352930@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Hi there! I'm not sure if you remember me from last year when I was finishing my BA but now we're done that!Baruch Hashem I got my BA. I am now exploring MBA options. Does anyone have any idea's for me?<br /> First- Is it worth the 2 years of time and effort? My other option is to work in a real job and get hands on experience. Is a standard MBA (not from an ivy league college) worth a lot?<br /> If yes, did you get an MBA recently? From where? Please tell me about it.<br /> All info would be a help, thanks a lot!! </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/inspiring-quotes#post-11936 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:31:08 +0000 yoshi 11936@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I was thinking we start a thread about inspirational, funny, and interesting quotes. </p> <p>I thought this quote to be appropriate, seeing that there's been a lot of talk about evolution in here lately...</p> <p> "Science is organized knowledge.
