    Happy birthday to you. it must be your birthday today with becoming 1 year older now

    you are right that this world is a was te of time cause in truth it says in seforim including pirkei avos that this-temporary & physical-world is simply just a-long & bumpy-path to take us to the next world which is the olam haemes-the true real world.

    so if a person is niftar young C”V the positive side is that he is now actually doing better then if he would still be alive & remain in this temporary physical world

    way too much time wasted

    rather its in the coffeeroom many times throughout the day or its reading news for probably average 2.5 hours a day. that an insane amount of precious time wasted just on reading the news. i wish i could stop but i feel the need to know whats going on worldwide.

    why is reading news a waste of time when a person should know what happening around the world? the answer is this news happening does not affect you & if there is something local to you that effects you & you need to know about it then trust me you will find out about it a different way without reading the news you read on the web

    its all in the hands of Hashem what will happen during Jose. its in our hands with the gift of free-will to decide if we have had enough homes destroyed in Harvey & Irma together with many other public tragedies if we are all ready to do teshuva & make a final halt to all future tzaros in klal yisroel.

    i.e. Hashem can stop it right now but only if we accept his wake-up calls for teshuva & finally do something about it & not just sit around watching all the tzaros go from tragic to horrific. a person today would need to be crazy to watch all this & live in denial thinking that this is all coincidence & we can just sit around without doing teshuva for the sins thats are causing these tragedies to occur

    Posting on Social media went live to remind people that:
    1)they are being watched by Hashem 24-7 & you can’t hide from Hashem for Hashem sees everything &
    2)to put pressure on people & let them know that if they do not act properly-as in this case & thousands more-then it will be found out all over the world in just a few hours & they will have alot of remorse & its really not worth it so just be an honest person & do what is the right thing & NOT what YOU want to do. trust me its just not worth it, a persons entire life can go down the drain over 1 stupid thing (as in this case over measuring innocent girls hair & the bad name it has put on this school forever & has been read & video watched WORLDWIDE)

    Usually the seats of eating tables are not Right in front or beside the loud music their usually in the back center of the dancing floor which makes the loud music much lower by the time it reaches way out to the eating tables around the hall

    “The OP’s point is that our mainstream yeshivos can easily be more inclusive by providing a wider array of services. Some of this requires additional staff with specialized training. Other ideas might be better training of the regular staff/faculty. Both of these are likely to meet up with considerable resistance. So even to the degree that we may agree with the OP, remaining skeptical that these ideas will fly is predictable.”

    That is the problem, that we are letting the people on the top-Principles & school administrators-choose that its not worthwhile to invest in training the teachers to implement the new methods. The system is broken, our schools pretend that all students are A students or at least average & there is no such thing as a struggling student IN THEIR SCHOOLS. this is why it is time to take a stand & find ways to help our students instead of just standing by & watching them struggle. It has gotten so bad that the struggling students feel they have no one or no where to turn to as in the case Of Malky Klein A”H. If we all take a stand on this issue then IY”H there won’t be another Malky Klein Situation

    sure they don’t like each other, cause chabad believes they are the 1st & only ones worldwide doing kiruv all over in every tiny town while in truth Breslov also does kiruv just in a different way-through chizuk stories of kiruv with rav nachman & other ways etc…

    chabad also hates all the fame of breslov in uman for yomim noraim & wish chabad can get the same popularity & fame for their living rebbe forever

    no i’m not breslov or Chabad, neither do i have any Rebba when i need help i go & call straight to Hashem from my heart. karov Hashem lchol….. as the mussar seforim say, when you depend on 2 things i.e. Hashem & a rebba also then you lose both, so who do you choose can help you more Hashem the ruler of all worlds or a Rebba? decide on your own & let Hashem know, he loves you & is waiting for you to call out to him from your heart for ANYTHING you need help

    congregation sons of Israel went from MO to yeshivish, today they are a full black hatter shul with barely a few no hatter people left, the MO of the lakewood community were either holocaust survivors that were niftar over the past 20 tears or their children all got married & went to live in a more MO community like edison or highland park or Teaneck NJ ETC…. i watched as the MO of lakewood got less & less until it was gone. Its only a matter of time before cong. sons of Israel becomes CHASIDISH there are already a few people with streimels that daven there.

    Yes that is th e history of the 1st frum Lakewood shul & Lakewood dayschool That the Rosh Yeshiva of BMG Rabbi AM Kotler went to that today is not open anymore & instead a new frum cheder is there instead

    1)start working on yourself on putting your trust %100 in Hashem & turn straight to Hashem in your times of need.
    2)Make a daily learning seder of Sefer Chovos Halevovos (duties of the heart) which will change your life to the better by a lot & bring you closer to Hashem & start seeing Hashem with an open eye how everything is actually coming directly from Hashem & EVERYONE else doing it are just Hashems messengers.

    depending on what each persons kaballah was some are harder then others, so until you let us know what level or kind of kaballah your holding on even if we do tell you how it will not help you stay %100 on track of your kabbala which can be a much harder one.

    i.e. its a very easy kaballa to pick from midnight for a half hour to never talk loshon hara when there’s almost no one to call or speak to besides your spouse at the late hour versus same kabballa but at 12:00pm for a half hour or a different kaballah in the middle of the day

    when your children go to the store with you they don’t view & look at the signs the same way as adult parents do. they are going on a trip while us as parents are focusing on prices & going shopping etc…

    i.e. they don’t realize & have wisdom to know that the reason why school supplies is in front of the store now is because school is almost starting, their childhood brain & mind level makes them think that this is today’s sale etc…

    we are ALL at fault for letting these innocent OTD people fall off & down the bridge of yiddishkeit into the ocean, We watch them going from bad to worse long before they are gone but do nothing to stop them from getting worse. From parents to teachers & rabbonim etc… to just neighbors on the street who see them everyday but do nothing. Ever heard of Kol Yisroel areiivim….? yes we are ALL responsible for each other & if someone sins because we didnt stop them with mussar then we get punished too for the sin he did. The same applies to children who went OTD & could have been saved by us loving yidden to save our brothers from going lost.

    when lakewood was a full %100 ihr Hatorah 15 years ago & before then, schools were not a business & money was NEVER a issue to hold a child back from being accepted into the school. the business office & CEO of each school put their faith & trust in Hashem that they will make it through the year financially. School lunches are paid by the government together with lots of askanim who sponsored the learning of TASHBAR so they can be part of the mitzva too

    “brooklyn is the best place for a frum family to live anywhere outside EY.”

    is that so?

    a frum community filled with hundreds of stores of physical pleasures & fancy stores of food & expensive clothing is the best? better for frumkeit then a simple torah community like williams burg, new square or if not chasidish how about cleveland which has a large growing frum community but remains simple away from all the fantasies & yetzer haras (lakewood used to be a torah town devoted to torah & only stores of necessaties but now sadly the brooklyn crown brought the yetzer hara of the fantasy life with them when they moved to lakewood R”L &lowered the kedusha of lakewood)

    every person needs to do their hishtadlus in life (which in these questions are all the choices besides Hashem) but the real answer for each question in “do you believe?” is HASHEM

    i.e. from your physical yetzer hara department you are convinced that all the work & effort in everything you do in life is what brings you the success but we all know the truth that all hatzlacha comes directly from Hashem just through different messengers to get it to you & in different ways (ex. 1 person makes his money through a rich smart investment which involves little time cause he knows how to spend his time wisely & is not in need to be kept busy to keep him away from sin. 2nd person gets his parnassa from kollel support from in-laws because he is spending his time with Hashem learning & his in-laws are making EXTRA income from Hashem to be able to also support their new son-in-law. 3rd example is a simple person working in a store thats makes just enough to make ends meet & works full time very busy, cause he is needed to keep busy away from sin C”V & is not holding by being responsible to run his own business cause then it will cause him to feel great & forget that his parnassah comes all straight from Hashem)

    don’t let your yetzer hara (evil inclination) fool you & corrupt your mind into thinking that this is all because of Trump. The melech malchei Hamelochim (king of kings) HASHEM runs the entire world 24/7 including wall street & decides every step of a persons life & step of a business how it should go up or down. Hashem decides when to send you to your boss to ask for a raise & how pleasing or not to ask it. (sure we all have equal free will & it might look like the boss choose yes or no on a raise but at the end of the day we all know that it was hashem who REALLY DECIDED YES OR NO

    all over located from closeby but only 2 bedroom in a big apt. building or a 3 bedroom separate basement entrance of a house for as low as 650 currently. best place to find out about them is hundreds listed in a ad book called the masa u’matan of lakewood. ask a lakewood relative to go through it for/with you if you can’t get a hold of one

    the basements actually are legal & are built in the beginning by the contractors & approved by the zoning board which makes them include extra parking for the basement rentals also & it helps the owners towards paying their monthly mortgage & is why they rent it out

    are you sure that you always did your proper hishtadlus? when it came to finding a shidduch or a job before giving up? how many years were you working on it before stopping? 5 10 or 20 years or more? a person should NEVER give up his hope for success & help directly from Hashem forever until he is niftar. That would mean still looking for a job & a shidduch. Why did you stop? nothing is impossible. I know many people who have gotten married first time in their 50’s or 60’s etc… & many people who have found jobs that can work for them even in their 70’s so they can make ends meet & also keep a daily schedule etc…

    start to work on yourself, by looking for a job that is in your league for your age now & speak to some shadchanim with your resume updated to today’s information etc….

    the drivers & the beeping that goes on in lakewood now come straight from the people who moved there from brooklyn & now beep away in Lakewood thus they cause original lakewooders to also beep away & make it a big chillul Hashem.

    if everyone would just drive with patience-as it is not as squashed & narrow street as brooklyn-& with safety then it would be such a pleasure to drive through lakewood & the goyim would not cause so much anti-semitsm, Which has just started alot recently in the last few years since lakewood started overcrowding with density. when lakewood had room, the neighbors were all friendly with the goyish neighbors & there was no hatred… but theres just a limit we can go before we have pushed it too far & cause hatred & anti-semitism. Lakewood frum community blew that 10 years ago when the ystarted building like crazy with causing major density & not caring about the communities “quality of life” thus affecting the goyim also & bringing it to hatred & anti-semitsm. GOYIM NEED TO REATHE & LIVE TOO
