I’m glad you, Oomis, made her happy. And LG, I never C”V intended to hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone ashamed of herself, r”l. Please forgive.
I’m just saddened by the fact that everyone’s suspicious, wary, distrustful of teachers, educators, mechanchim. Don’t get me wrong, I’m following all the news, all the time.. outside our camp.. inside.. I know what’s going on.. A bit first hand experience too (unfortunately).. It’s just that when your ingraining into a student’s mind to be distrustful of her educators.. you’ve got a big problem. There has to be a better way than to plant distrust, doubting into the minds of students, otherwise our Mesorah goes out the window. ???? ??? ????? ????, is part of the method of giving over the Mesorah.
To the issue at hand.. I cannot see any real problem with a female educator saying the “L” word to a student.. It’s us whose got the problem. We don’t know what it means or how to apply it. We associate it with out “neighbors’ debased expression.. No. There’s nothing wrong with that word. And I it tell my children (over and over). “Love your neighbor”.. “Love the convert”.. “Love Hashem”. It’s all over in the Torah.
Of course if you notice something dangerous, creepy that is a different story…
