@levaryehboy…I just need to say that I totally saw the guy who was your inspiration for “what not to do on a shidduch date” vid last night…. I couldn’t breathe from laughter.
for those who think that vid is an exaggeration, its not.
there are a lot of people who shouldn’t be in chinuch and are. if one is in chinuch for their own gratification they will not be giving every student what is best for them. that is unfair. Anyone who needs a role model of how to do chinuch properly should read the biography of R’ Shlomo Friefeld. His way of dealing with struggling students amazes me and warms my heart every time I read about it.
Superme, I hope there is someone out there who you will find that will see you for the amazing person you are, support and encourage you and will make you feel understood.
@This Name Is Already Taken: if someone sneezed on your hamburger would you think it was baal tashchis to throw it out? I think im scared to know the answer.
I would say to just throw out the tomato sauce. why would you want it anyway after its been sprayed?
ditto with the oatmeal.
I am sorry that I have spaces in my name. I didn’t realize that would be a setback in life here.
Living right has a lot to do with being honest with yourself and following a straight path i.e. being yashrusdik. Sounds nice but is hard in theiry (duh). I will not say I am a pro, but the username is a good reminder :)I was originally thinking of “live straight” as my username, but figured in this day and age it wud not be such a clever idea. people would get weird ideas in their head.
I have noticed… this has been a very slow year for music. I am constantly in need of new music stimulation and it hasn’t been coming!!! Somebody out there : put out something good!!!!
I never really thought too deeply about how I feel about mailboxes to be honest, but now that some of us are being random… since the one outside my house tends to be the preferred spot for bees to build their hives, I do not find them too attractive. inboxes are safer.
seems like I flew under the radar here 😉
@LevAryehBoy- the Banyas was no trickle of water when I was there.. you just need to go after a rainy season for it to be worth anything. Although it is pretty reminiscent of Bushkill Falls here in the US of A.
@everyone else- As a Chol Hamoed outing though, I would be wary. There seems to be some unwritten halacha somewhere stating that it is absoloutely necessary to go on a hike near water on Chol Hamoed in Israel. so unless you enjoy crowds….you should probably stay away from the Banyas.
And any beach will be teeming with seminary girls.
for the men out there: women have no idea how anything looks in the eyes of men. especially in a religious environment where men do not rudely comment on the looks of women who are complete strangers to them as they walk by. women will continue to walk around blissfully unaware of what the men are thinking. don’t think they are out to get you; they just have no clue about the way your mind works or what your eyes see.
Its because of acts like these that marriage is cheapened. And whether or not that feeling carries over to the Jewish world, its message seeps in and is destructive and poisoning.For those who say that they don’t believe such marriages are right, but how can they deny it to others: if such things continue, what kind of society would that create? Is this the kind of world you want to live in, your children to grow up in? if you don’t feel revulsion and give that over to your children, the sensitivities of the next generation (or lack thereof) will be so dulled. These acts are wrong and intolerable and if you don’t feel that way….. your sensitivities have been tragically affected.
