Oomis, I actually find Gitty’s participation and story quite heartening. As was mentioned, so many kids who drop out now drop out of everything. I can guarantee that there is at least one lurker at there (not that I know who) who got chizuk from this exchange.
I do feel Shindy’s pain at not being able to provide enough to keep her inspired. I suspect that at some point Gitty will find some authentic source of spiritual sustainance if on her own terms because she clearly has the intellectual integrity to differentiate between the medium (a real turn off so far) and the message (which is available in so many ways on an adult, sophisticated level).
