    I lived in Monsey as a bochur for a few years and continued to visit many times over the years and I always marveled myself at the pleasant natural integration of the litvish and chassidish elements. In so many shuls, you’ll see all types davening together. It made a strong impression on me then and I always recall it fondly.

    I don’t like getting into specifics about a specific group or place here. It’s a great place to live if you need to be close to the city. But property taxes are through the roof.

    Jewishly, you’ll have everything you need. I have found that the more I deemphasized the groups- I have become more enriched from benefitting from all what each has to offer to our Avodas Hashem. Monsey, for me, was the beginning of that approach.

    Not since Rosh Hashono has YW posted an accident picture. That indicates teshuva on their part and they should be commended for it. I certainly hope it will continue although I do not have a confirmation that they have adopted such a policy. I strongly suggest to YW that the General Pictures should be retitled “Community Pictures” which should include pictures of community events, which have always been covered nicely on the site, both in word and picture.

    It is my pleasure to tell everyone that I see YW has taken off these pictures. I want to thank YW for doing this. I have been monitoring the Latest Pictures Page and today I did not see one accident picture. I appreciate their consideration and look forward to seeing only geshmakeh pictures! Please take a moment to thank them as well because it means they value our comments and feedback. It is important to show hakoras hatov for that alone! Ah Gut Yohr everyone and thanks for adding your input.

    In response to the moderator, I expect nothing less of a regular newspaper than to publish such pictures. Of course, they have their limits as well. But Yidden?! The whole thrust of my post was to emphasize this is appealing to base desires and sensationalism, as a poster said, and have no place in a machaneh that touts itself to be alligned, affiliated, and dedicated to a Yeshivishe derech hachaim.

    What a great change to the site it would be now that tuf shin ayin has entered, that you do away with this.

    I also want to emphasize that these aspiring journalists should REPORT these accidents so that the olam can daven for those who are injured. But pictures?! Treif as can be. Please take them off taikef u’miyad!

    I am gratified that all of you agree. I expected nothing less from our am hakadosh!
