Anon- yup. Although I have no sympathy about the back taxes issue. If you do something illegal you can’t complain about getting caught.
Common – right! (Is this the first time I’ve agreed with ou?) I have watched non jewish nannies make sure their young charges make a bracha as well. As the child sat in the stroller looking at their tight jeans and almost-a-shirt, listening to conversations they had on the phone that may not be inappropriate but definitely aren’t uplifting. It’s not just about doing the mitzvos, it’s the whole package.
I still remember my son telling me his first grade teacher, who they knew was single, apologized for being grouchy, “sorry, i think im pregnant and don’t ferl so good”
