FYI: BGG predates Uncle Moishy. The song was around a generation before that.
How is this different/similar to FreedomPop? I believe they also offer something like this and was considering it. Did you ever compare the 2 companies?
Thank you Thinking Out Loud. I was growing frustrated reading some posts that were portraying Footsteps as a benign organization helping lost souls, when my experience has been otherwise. They are even more aggressive when they can “rescue” children from a life of “oppressive” Judaism. They will hire top divorce lawyers to help the now not frum parent gain custody, rent an apartment etc. all the while indoctrinating the confused/angry parent and children against the frum society. What you are suggesting sounds like an excellent idea. There is a need for a “neutral” organization that can can be a safety net for these adults, but not feed them anti-orthodox diatribe. I am not at all familiar with project Makom so I can’t comment on them.
write or wrong: I don’t post often but wanted to let you know that your son has been in my tefillos from when you first posted the story. Thank you for sharing the update. May Hashem grant you clarity and strength as you continue on the journey – and may it end soon with besuros tovos.
Not all of the programs charge .The Flatbush Tisha B’Av program and the Ohr Somayach (links from YWN) are free. You can donate (any amount) if you would like to. I’m sure you understand that there are expenses incurred when offering a shiur, and if the organization doesn’t have sponsors, they need to charge a fee to cover their costs. Also TorahAnytime.com has many shiurim you can watch or listen to free.
Sock locks are plastic discs (about the size of a quarter)in which the dirty socks are inserted. They go through the washing machine/dryer that way and you can either put them in the drawer with the sock locks on (take them out before wearing!) or roll them into pairs if it is important to you. But there is no rummaging for pairs this way. They come in different colors so you can use a different color lock for each family member to make it even easier to sort.
TTI is not a college. It is a business that facilitates (for a profit) getting a college degree. Over the years they have been afiliated with various colleges/universities. Some have a better reputation than others, some require more independent work, some offer more hand-holding. Depending on the program you choose, you will find out which institution will be conferring the degree. You will also find out what the requirements are and can then make an informed decision if the program will work for you. Hatzlacha.
ah….the problems begin when one side hires you to do a background check, and the other side hires you as their reference!

amen! thank you.
thank you! may this be a year of good things for you. for myself, i would love a bracha for “gefen” – gezunt, parnassa and nachas. for klal yisroel, a bracha for moshiach to come asap. yeshuos and refuos for all that are in need. mazaltov and good shabbos!
Yes, your story has touched so many of us and we still continue to daven for your son (even if we don’t post asking for updates). Although we don’t know his name, Hashem certainly knows who we have in mind. May all our tefilos be answered. May there be yeshuos and refuos for all those in klal yisroel that need them.
yes

why doesn’t your daughter nicely respond “people mean different things when they talk about tznius. i would like to be helpful and accurate. how do you define tzniusdik in dress?” and then the woman can refer to her (or her son’s) very specific standards and your daughter can answer without seeming like she is trying to hide anything.
i second vermox, though i have a friend that used garlic cloves . when asked, my pediatrician agreed that many parasites don’t like garlic in the body…my daughter took garlic pills and was one of 3 kids in her bunk in camp that didn’t get lice/nits. just saying…
try contacting leah david at ohr halimud in brooklyn. she runs a school that uses o-g and also offers teacher training in the o-g method, so she may have recommendations for you. hatzlacha
i, too, have been following this thread without posting. anyone who has had any kind of experience (personal, professional etc.)with children that are otd, would hear only your pain and your resolve to the the best for your son. i’m not sure where some people found discrepancies or inconsistencies “between the lines”. if you can muster up the strength to ignore their posts, we would appreciate your continued postings. if you would like to know some “toeles” in this thread here is one thing: although i do not know your son’s full hebrew name, Hashem does. and when i davened on rosh hashana i included him in my tefillos(along with those children that are otd that i do know their name and their mother’s name). if you feel you cannot continue the posts, that is certainly your choice to make and i wish you hatzlacha, strength, clarity and besoros tovos. good shabbos
if you are interested in biographies of those gedolim you feel are ignored by artscroll, i have in my home “reb aharon” by rabbi alter pekier published by cis in 1995, “reb shlomo zalman” by rabbi yechiel michel stern (also cis in 1996), “and from jerusalem his word” (about reb s.z. auerbach) by hanoch teller (feldheim 1995) and the only thing i have about reb shach is “in their shadow” volume 1 by rav shlomo lorincz (feldheim 2008). perhaps artscroll felt an additional book on the same people wouldn’t sell well? in any case, these are out there.
