The Father did very good who is the School to say what to do in a innocent childs Bar Mitzvah! When I was a kid I went through the same thing and I suffered my one time experience

“Mr” Halperin?

He is a Rebbi. He should be referred to as Rabbi Halperin.

Newsworthy is something that more than 1 person fronds interesting. Well I find this interesting and so did the editor so then it’s newsworthy. As far as wether 1 gadol would allow thus to be posted the answer is yes. 1. There is something to learn here about actions 2. There is no loshon hora as this is a public story that more than 3 people know about.

The problem that we have today is that too many people think they know halacha and try to push it on other people when in fact it’s just an opinion of theirs and should be kept to themselves.

if you do not agree with the website then don’t read it.

#2, thank you for clarifying things. You are correct that actions mean much more than words. I keep coming back to this website again and again in spite of the loshon hara that I keep seeing on it. No longer. I am making a hachlata right now that I will never visit YWN again, bli neder.

#1 makes excellent points, which I hadn’t considered. It’s a terrible situation, but pushing a teacher in front of the students – unbelievable. Even if he was drunk, that’s no excuse. I do feel very sorry for the boy, though – what a nasty end to his simcha. He will always remember this and not the joy of his simcha. Dad – just do it, if only for the sake of your son. Why make him suffer because of what YOU did? And in addition, take responsibility. Another lesson in chinuch.

This is a news piece. It is an incident that took place with that yeshiva and is being dealt with. But that does not make it less of a news piece. What does your comment accomplish?
