Ms. Critique -“Sitting in is not a Chassidish minhag, it is a frum minhag. There are some very real Litvish yeshiva boys that are sitting in these days and making a decision after 4 times.”
Your critique or criticism of me is Not warranted and is full of misconceptions.
First of all, I never said No Litvish ever sit-in. My post was based on the fact that Most Chassidishe do sit-in as opposed to Most Litvaks or Non-Chassidim, who don’t.
Second of all, it is Not a Minhag, as far as I know, but just a Farfrumta thing. This doesn’t mean I’m opposed to it, but just it isn’t on the level of a Minhag.
“So far there have been no divorces among this group but from those of you who are busy looking at the gashmius, there are divorces, broken engagements and committments to such as shmutzbook(facebook). Rabbi Ephraim Waxman wrote an article about dating in a Jewish Observer a few years ago. Try to get an issue and then you’ll see the truth. Going in public places as the weather gets warmer is like walking in a zoo of humans. Yes, i am speaking from experience of having married off all our children B”H without these narishkeiten, but focusing on what is important in marriage and how the children will grow together.”
This paragraph is totally inaccurate. Just because you and some people you know who only did sit-ins – didn’t have any divorces -doesn’t mean anything.
“Statistics of divorces among frum Yidden who are Chassidish, although unfortunately more heard of than years ago is still far less than among other types!”
Now this above statement is totally meant to manipulate. In general, the Charedim or Ultra-orthodox have less divorce than the MO or Modern Jews. But unfortunately, the latest statistics are -that Chassidish couples have more divorces than the Litvish or Non-Chassidish. I’m not saying that this is due to going out as opposed to sitting-in, but your premise is wrong -so you have No reason to push sit-ins over going out!
