    Many of us have been here in the YWN Coffee Room for quite a while. Others are a bit newer. Few of us though know much about each other.

    Why not share the human side of ourselves? Who we are; what we do; where we live; play; school; work; and whatever interesting tidbits that we can share.

    I’m betting a lot of us know each other in the “real” world. Some just don’t know it yet 🙂

    shindy: Good point!

    I went through the “normal channels” in frum society, ~ 25, born and bred in Flatbush, grew up there and went to school there all my life, by blood from pre-war Chasidic shtetl’s, don standard suit, tie & hat (as all of family does), Yeshivas were like that too, always davened in a local shtiebel, still live locally, mostly self-taught in secular studies (though have a BS), work in financial services, light computer gamer, collect stamps, anything else?

    Ok, your up! Don’t be bashful…

    First, how detailed do you want us to be?

    Second, before I post, can we agree that this thread will be used *solely* to get to know each other and not to debate halacha? There are certain things that I don’t want to reveal about myself if they’re only going to cause people to jump down my throat and take this thread away from its original topic.

    Bogen…I know that you are suggesting this very innocently, but truthfully I don’t think it is a good practise putting out details of your life for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, there are alot of kooky people out there, and for that reason I am not on face book or any other site where you meet other people. In fact, I am a little surprised that YW put your post on.

    This thread may be closed if things get too personal…
