Aishes Chayil

Here’s a story,

I know a frum family who had a non jewish nanay working for them for years.

At the age of 80, she passed away at their home where she continued to be of service.

Her family wante her body to be brought back to her home town in Vienna so she can have a proper burail.

The frum family arranged for the chevra kaddisha of their town, to take care of her. (no need for taharos etc, but they did it with their full devotion)

This nanny’s family was forever greatful…..

10-luchos(?)

The question should be ‘what is yoUr immediate reaction to screen names?’

Thanks for posting the article.

HOWEVER, there are a few logical questions to be asked;

1) Why did Heidi say she had one wig when she had two including the damaged wig?

3) Why did Mendi say he took the wig to three places to see if it could be fixed while also claiming that it was obvious that it could not?

4) How did the Judge get the wrong Gerogie’s number? Presumptively the number she called was on the receipt. How did she get the other number?

6) Why would Sylvia know off the top of her head what kind of Sheitel Heidi bought months before and how much it cost?

7) Even if Georgie sold her 2 wigs, how would Georgie know if the damaged wig was the same wig she sold to Heidi? There could be another wig involved

8) Why did they claim the laundry worker didn’t speak English when her English is passable?

And lastly, why did they insist that Geirgy was in France, what did that prove?

Please, I would LOVE to see this all in the clear.

Can someone get a few COMPETENT RABONIM to endorse this??

Apushatayid,

You talk about dan lecaff zechus. Maybe you should excercis that concept here and stop accusing people of taking part in this discussion for the wrong purposes.

Frankly, I dont want to kn ow who they are!

I know you mean well, but please be consistent with your principles

The Rov,

Re- Ms Millian,

the only thing she was wrong about was not making the laundress responsible for damaging the wig regardless of whether washing it was autherized or not.

Once they took it upon themselves to toss it in the machine, they were responsible for the outcome.

Even if she believed that it WAS a cheap wig, there was still a value on it, and it should have been considered . She could have awarded them whatever she thought it was worth, and scolded them for their alleged scam at the same time. But to deprive them of the minimum just because she was ticked at their behaviour was not very professional.

rabbi V,

where can I see the link to your day in court?

Avram,

Actually, there are 3 people responsible for the aveirah of LH.

The people who cause it amongst them. So the fact that they went out in public makes their violation even greater.

Again , if you read my previous post, I point out that we were once told in a shemiras Haloshon shiur, that if someone does something which hurts you badly, and talin g it out will make you feel better, its allowed. Please check it out as I stand to be corrected.

Apushatayid,

Sorry to dissappoint you but TOELES indeed DOES allow for you to talk.

In fact, its brought down that if someone did something personal to you that really really hurts you, and talking abou it will comfort you, you are permitted.

AVRAM,

With all due respect, this couple humiliated themselves when they ‘aired out their dirty laundry’ (dont mind the pun) on national television.

Once that happened they made themselves fodder for this whole discussion.

The toeles in repeating this story is very obvious;

DON’T TRY AND SCAM OTHERS, ESPECIALLY NOT WITH ITEMS WHICH WE USE FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES AS BAIT!!!!

DON’T GET UP IN PUBLIC AND GIVE YOUR RELIGION A BAD NAME!!!

TRY TO MAKE A KIDDUSH HASHEM AND NOT A CHILLUL HASHEM, WHEREVER YOU GO AND WHATEVER YOU Do!!!!

The fact that this story got out disgusts everyone enough to think very carefully next time their Yetzer Hora tells them to violate our basic prin,ciples….

Satisfied???

A further point,

I find it very strange that when the jusge asked her how many wigs she had, she inssited only one besides the fall. Somehow the wig in question, which apparantly was worth 3 grand, and su^pposedly the focus of her case, didnt seem to come into the equation.

You would think that she would harp on the fact that she had 2 super wigs (besides the fall) and unfortunatley now, one was badly damaged. But in fact, she seemd to trivialize the fact that it was ruined.

Although I doubt this was a premeditated scam, but rather something they decided to take advantage of when they saw the devastating results, they were very unprepared.

There is no way that frum couple were imposters.

Anyone who lived/lives in Brooklyn knows that she had the perfect accent which would be very difficult for an non jewish actor to duplicate.

On thing just doesnt klap!

How did the judge know to call Georgie out of all the wig makers in NY,,??

She asked the lady where she bought the wig AFTER she claimed that she already called G?

Eclipse,

Are these comparisons brought down somewhere?

Whats meant by an addiction? A good dish, nail biting, smoking, or something more severe?

Whats meant by deep humiliation?

I think Hudi’s joke was more a spoof on that story with Shloime Hamelech and the babies…. the real mother begged for the child not to be cut in halfn but rather given to the other woman.

Thats when S’H knew she was the real mother….

It happens to be that Non Jews have a feeling that there is hostility.

There was a Non Jewish woman who I met at a networking event.

She asked me if I am allowed to shake her hand knowing that she is Gentile.

I was so embarrassed, I wished I could have vanished that second!!

Nisht Aher,

Dont have to excuse yourself.

We fargin you all of them….

I have the lEXUS 450h, but I am not that happy with it.(leased)

I want to go back to my old Volvo

In fact a few days before the fire started , someone came over to Rabbi Gold and said, ‘ I heard you had a fire’

Rabbi Gold answered, ‘shhh, not yet’;)

Imagine that! An insurance scammer….

This one will inspire you enough to leave a voice mail for sure:

Hi, I’m not available for the moment. DONT hang up. If you do, you just wasted 5 cents(or whatever it costs to call).

But if you leave message, I’ll call you back, and I will have to pay the 5 cents.

PLEASE GIVE FOR HACHNOSAS KALLAH,

Dear fellow Jew,

Even though the current economic situation is very tough for all of us, we

turn to you for help for a Chosson who just recently got engaged. His whole

was still a young child and when he was just eighteen years old his mother

was a passenger in a car that was involved in major accident and

unfortunately died as a result of the injuries she sustained.

Due to his family situation he had no other choice other than to join the army, and now at the age of twenty-eight after many years of hardship and

great difficulty he has finally found his zivug.

We trust you won’t turn him away in his time of greatest need.
