i frequently take my little kids to bars and pool-halls. although there is a lot of behavior and language here that they really shouldnt be seeing and hearing, i think it will help them in the future to cope with the real world. i dont agree with all the “fanatics” who say we should isolate our Jewish children from negative goyish influences.
some of the places even serve kosher food. so it MUST be okay!
i know some of you might say that it is illegal to take kids to places like that. could be, if so maybe i will have to stop taking them, but surely its ok for ME to go. i mean im an adult, and smart, and have self control. i can just ignore all the language and the women and how they are dressed and just concentrate on the game and having fun.
its mutar!
im not going to blindly follow those who try to push chumras down my throat. i dont have to impress anyone with what a good Eved Hashem i am. as long as everything i do is according to Halachah, thats just fine. i mean does Hashem go out of his way for me? why should i have to go out of my way for Him?
