Whose Derech?

The Derech which forbids an Eishes Ish from having relations (source: Facebook post).

The Derech which declares: “Lo Tiyeh Kdeisha B’Bnos Yisroel.”

The Derech that follows the “Old Testament” in which it is written “Lo Techaten Bom…” (granted, she was only in a three month relationship).

I’m not deciding the custody battle (I don’t know the facts), but what is clear is the fact that she is NOT leading a religious lifestyle (she’s sending the children to religious institution per arbitrated agreement).

We must, however, examine the problems within our community (and this includes all of us: Hasidic, Yeshivish, MO and Sephardic — we all experience it) and acknowledge the reasons for this migration. I, for one, believe that the schools must place a bigger emphasis on Hashkafa and Emunah.
