Sorry – I don’t know how to change fonts to display the dialogue with Ben Levi.
Outside appearances are the problem?
Absolutely yes. I am in no way singling out Satmar, and nothing I said was intended as a commentary to the recent court conviction.
Are you aware of the fact that the most stringent Chasunah Taknos were enacted successfully by the Satmar Community to counter exactly what you wrote about?
Yes. I repeat, this was about the frum community in general, not singling out Satmar. Every single group has its outstanding features.
How about the 5TJT consult with them how to successfully implement what was considered impossible?
I have no clue what this consult was, and it would be dishonest to comment on it.
Oh on including every child, do you know how Satmar runs their school system if someone does not have money to pay tuition ask a member of the Chassidus how much they are asked to pay.
That may well be unique. Ask anywhere else. Torah Umesorah is addressing this issue, as expelling due to unpaid tuition is commonplace in the new York area. There are hundreds of kids without yeshivas and schools, and money is one aspect of the problem.
You’ll be surprised at the answer. It’s about 15,000 dollars less than in the Five Towns.
Real Chinuch?
How come Satmar has managed to build a huge network of Bikur Cholim completly staffed by the women that are products of their school system. All volunteers, waiting in line for the chance to do chessed for Klal Yisroel.
And don’t tell me about others.
But Satmar takes it to another level and we all learnt from Satmar.
I am litvish and I know it.
And the people growing up to take roles in the tremendous chesed that defines that community have gone through their school system that infused their very essence with a sense of achrayus and caring to all of Klal Yisroel. Real caring. Not speeches about caring. I lived it when I was hospitalized and saw for weeks on end the work they do that frankly I would not have believed if I had not seen it with my own eyes. And no they don’t publicize it and they don’t want thanks. One of the Satmar Women replied when I said that you. In the zchus of the Chesed may Klal Yisroel not need it anymore.
The chinuch that produced the hundreds of women that form the backbone of that organization is failed?
How about the 5TJT ask them why the girls coming out of their school system are so different than the ones coming out of the Five Towns? And don’t answer with the minority. You and I both know there are exceptions. I chose to focus on the 90%. You can focus on the 10%.
The educated Social Workers who consult? Educated by whom? Frum Ehrileche people or irreligious professors that are for the most part atheists?
See response above.
They should teach Satmar about chinuch? About Marriage?
If we needed lessons about divorce we could learn from them, after all they do have experience.
Funny. The average Jewish divorce is more about cruelty than terminating a failed marriage. The lawyers make out like bandits. The frummest look for the shyster lawyers and toanim. The rabbonim are snookered into taking a side, and participating in destroying another person and family. We need to learn a lot.
And how to care for cats and dogs they could teach us also.
But about raising kids Al Tahras HaKodesh. I’ll trust the people that dedicate their lives to Torah first.
