Reply To: Kosher Hangouts

zalmy- like everyone has said what you said is a hundred percent accurate, in seminary last year one of our most frequent discussions was the hypocrisy in the frum community, these were all really good BY girls but who were fed up by all the contradictions. We actually made a whole list and its something that really bothers me, how people dont practice what they preach, as you said we kids arent stupid we see through all this falsehood that is presented to us. you have a great grasp on whats going on, but any ideas for a solution, also one thing I wasnt saying kids are going off because they dont have a place to hang out, there already are problems as you just mentioned a big one, I am looking for a sultion to it.

Tohighschoolguy- let me quote you” dont even know if it practical” we wont know until we try something, I am telling you it will work, I have lived through this, I know what would have pulled me out of all the stuff I was doing and going through. By “people will never go for it”, did you mean the adults who control our society and what is their purpose in not allowing a positvie constructive thing, pushing kids who are alreafy turned off even further? Ok fine maybe that was a blanked statement that no relationships are shomer, but very few are and many arent you just dont know about it, I do have one shomer relationship but its rare, it takes a certain kind of guy maybe your friends are like that. Personally I am from Monsey and wanted to start my idea there and than see if we can isntitue into other communities, yes it would be easier in an out of town setting but I dont think theres a need for it, it will be harder in Brooklyn and Lakewood but it deffintley can be done
