Reply To: Terrible side effects of the bungalow colony movement

It amazes me what low opinion most of you have of your fellow Jews! I went to the country until my youngest had to go to camp. Then I couldn’t afford to rent a bungallow and to send 2 boys to sleepaway camp. I wasn’t naive about what my husband was doing I TRUSTED him. Remember trust? Yes, there will be some men and some women who will do what they shouldn’t, but if you can’t trust them now, what says you can trust them when you are in the city. A man or woman could always be “working late”. As for women sitting in circles talking lashon hara, do you think that if they were in the city it wouldn’t happen? If a person wants to do bad, the place wouldn’t stop them.

Some of you should maybe learn how to see the better in people. I am by nature very cynical but you guys have low minds. Get your minds out of the gutter! Take care of yourself and don’t go make forums like this into your own “lashon hara circles”

Dear Just Me,

Of course women should be able t trust their husbands. Most husbands are doing the right thing. But you as a woman do not necessarily understand the nisyonos men face. Don’t belittle it. As for the women, the bottom line is that a bungalow colony setting is far more conducive to gossip circles than the city. In the city we cannot set up chairs in middle of coney island ave and sit down to relax.
