shopping- first of all, shkoyach to you on noticing these ideas at an age where your heart and mind are open to so many new ideas. This is something that is important and missing in many people because as we age, we simply become hardned to what we belive in and think “its too late to change”. It is neevr to late to change.
Keep these ideas through your life, because this is whtat Hashem is looking for, people with baseless love-AHAVAS CHINAM.
That being said- to all you haters on shopping, I speak from personal experiance. Just today I was sitting with a friend who is struggling to with hilchos tznious, in the case of wearing pants or skirts. And Simply, you cannot just say “your not frum” or “Your not doing the right thing”. The ONLY way to solving our disagreements is through love. Everyone has their challenges. Everyone. You cannot say that someone is modern orthodox is less frum than you because you dont have a TV in your house and they do. It could very well be that when he learns his torah, it is much more serious than when you learn yours. CHAS VESHALOM i am not assuming, im only saying that we do not know “who has richer blood” therefore who are we to hate. Yes we disagree, but at the end of the day, since we do not know who H|ashem thinks is wrothy and who Hashem doesn’t think is worthy, it is baseless hatred. We are learning the same Torah.
shivim panim leTorah.
