i have no doubt that there will be opposition to my post, all posts have opposition so why should mine be an exception. i can only imagine what type of defense i have waiting for me. i am asking you not to comment if you feel offended, i dont want to be responsible for starting an internet fight in shomayim. in my opinion, the logic behind all these arguments is “you dont know me and i dont know you, so who cares what i say”, but we’re all part of Am Yisroel, and we all have the mitzvah to watch our speech, so lets start now. Elul is only 2 months away, when people are asking their peers for forgiveness, im sure no one is going onto yeshivaworld and checking who they argued with, or spoke bad about and trying to get in touch with them to ask them mechila. just please, keep negative comments to yourself, and in that zechus bring Moshiach and the Geula that Klal Yisroel so desparately need.

i have no opinions on this matter accept for one, which it seems that many people (not all) who posted here seem to have forgotten. Baruch Hashem the boys are safe and every single one of them came away without a scratch. the way that bus looks in the video, if chas v’shalom the boys had been on the bus, it seems like the damages could have been much worse. b’chasdei Hashem no one was hurt.
but lets not think about why this happened or the reason it had to happen this way, lets think about our reaction to it, specifically some of the posts on this site. what i have noticed from reading the comments on yeshivaworld, not only on this article, but on other articles also (check them, you’ll see what im talking about), is that the usual outcome of the comments is either an argument or a strongly worded opposition to one or more of the comments between the people who are posting about that particular story. theres simply no reason for it. people have different opinions, and theres nothing wrong with that, there is not one person in the world that everyone gets along with and everyone likes, no ones perfect. so why the need to make fun of and put down other people? why add to the boiling pot of sinas chinum, especially in such a public place like the internet? are all these arguments really necessary?

1. LIA – Be blessed. May you be granted much siyata diShmaya and hatzlachah in your efforts to increase everyone’s awareness about this very great issue which is clearly the source of many nisyonos today.
2. Humans are capable being grateful that nobody was hurt AND of making a cheshbon haNefesh.
3. Perhaps everyone’s anger at the tzniyus comments comes from the fact that we KNOW the critics are right!

To #8 -Mar

We do not need more negative comments about Acheinu B’nei Yisroel.

I ride Monsey Trails daily and I can attest that their busses are well maintained and clean.

What I heard was that this was caused by a tire blow-out which caused the back of the bus to hit the roadway creating sparks…

Before you know the facts…keep quiet.

To hds and moshe

Sorry but it is obovious that you people live in seclusion and don’t see the real world.
You don’t know me and i don’t know you.
But with so much happening we look to what is obvious.
Just coming back from Eretz Yisroel we met with very chashuva people while sitting shiva. When we noted that some women didn’t adhere to tznius halachos we were openly told that it was a yerusha from America.
You can ban me from the website if you take care of all the women walking around with skirts/dresses above the knees,wearing leggings under their skirts and married women with too much hair exposed.

Mussar Movement?? and I said maybe, because of course I don’t know the creator’s decisions, because all He does is for our benefit. But Tzius is tried and true segulah for protection, and if doesn’t bother you and you don’t feel Klal Yisrael can use all the extra protection of women keeping Tzinus properly, then that’s your issue. I only said something that would benefit Klal Yisrael, especially in these troubled times. When having tragdies and difficulties in our community, one of our Rabbonim asked a gadol, what can the community do and was told strengthen the Klal’s observence of Tznius. We have had a few gatherings for L’Refuah Shlemia for some people. After one of the gatherings, we were told one of those whose zechus the gatherings was for,was able to come home. Do you consider that a coincindence Mowshe??

19 and 17 This is not a mussar movement, how can you think or decide what happened was because of your uneducated guesswork, mussar and negativity is not whats needed. Shvach V’hodoh is what everyone feels. Take your thoughts to youtube.

15 I also agree with #17. Tzinus is a protection for Klal Yisrael. Why should it bother you so much? If it helps Klal Yisrael, is it wrong? Just say B”H, no one was hurt and maybe, because the women are Tzinus, the boys WERE protected because of it and the bus was the Kaporah. If anything Comment #8 maybe L’H, because it is saying something negative about Heimish bus companies. I have been on one of the buses last year to make sure my son was okay and the bus was pretty clean.
