To the defenders of this low-life, fame-seeking loser –

I honestly don’t know why I did this because I actually wasted my time going to S & S website and reading some of her trashy book. Perhaps I just wanted to prove to myself that inmates are running the asylum. Unfortunately there are posters here that love when s/o puts down Chasidim and/or Frum people.

Maybe it was just my wishful thinking that these posters would finally shut up, but I know that will never happen.

This is like going to a Neo-Nazi site and saying the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is a total fiction. Noone is interested in the truth. Neither are the Charedi bashers here interested in the truth!

Anyway here is part of the excerpt:

“All my aunts and uncles are hard on their children, it seems to me. They berate them, embarrass them, and yell at them. This is chinuch, child rearing according to the Torah.”

Notice I didn’t quote the whole paragraph where she constantly bashes her family -perhaps her description is true? Perhaps in her family the description how they raise kids is accurate?

But the line I quoted is “This is chinuch, child rearing according to the Torah”. Maybe some people raise kids like this but to say -“This is chinuch, child rearing according to the Torah”, is an outright lie. No one can claim this is the definition of Chinuch, even if some hold you are allowed to raise kids like this.

I didn’t have to go too far to find this lie. I’m sure there are many more. I really think the people here defending her should take a good hard look in the mirror and ask themselves -“What does being a Jew really mean?”
