Reply To: Girls Congregating the Streets on Shabbos

I understand that we all like to fix problems in our community, but let’s face it: girls will be girls and boys will be boys. By telling girls “you could talk on this block but not on that block” – you will accomplish nothing.Girls will always congregate and talk no matter what you decide. Not every problem is fixable by assering things, especially if the problem is not a halachic one, such as girls talking on the street. Sometimes, the best thing to do is just close your eyes and look away if something bothers or offends you. Yes, the utopian thing would be if men could go to shul without seeing any girls on the street, but let’s be realistic here, this ain’t utopia. Everyone has to conquer their own personal nisyonos, it’s why we’re on this world.
