Little FroggieParticipant
OK, I’m here again, (with a different s/n, of course), to get a new fresh round. Rebbie, bless me. ????? ?? ???..
Little FroggieParticipantDisruptive in Shul:
Having a conversation about the ‘debates’ going in here. You could never know who in shul is following your convo!!! – AH So that’s you PAA, CA, DY (or whoever)!! Glad to meet ya!!
Little FroggieParticipantLior: Thank you (if you meant it!, no, even if you didn’t!!)
One of the biggest problems here in the CR is that one cannot view the facial expressions of the one commenting. Cannot know if s/he’s earnest or laying it on…
and Mod(x), I meant it, not only regarding approving posts, I meant the other things (?) too.. (and the one who understands should /would /could understand)
Little FroggieParticipantI have Hakaras Hatov to all Moderators who dealt with me with compassion and understanding, though anonymous to us, lowly CR beings.
Little FroggieParticipantA choson shouldn’t need a Shas. He should know it by heart.
Little FroggieParticipantReb Sholom Shlita,
(resides in the Village of Brooklyn)
Kindly refer to my humble post “I know why it happened”
Little FroggieParticipantWhew!!!!
Do they really have a record of all my posts, deleted, edited and approved. (Is it really going to be so bad up there? Nothing gets DELETED!!)
Could Mods produce grand totals (all s/n, including try outs) for:
Threads created –
Posts approved –
Posts rejected –
How many nasty ones –
How many respectful ones –
Ones outright silly (or humorous)-
and (oh oh)
Hours I spend here –
Thanks Mods. (I have an extra adding machine somewhere.. You have to plug it in to 99 + 11 volts.)
Little FroggieParticipanttakin’ t’ me?
Little FroggieParticipantWell..I think job got its name after the first Job (????). So maybe there was this enslaved, incarcerated, downtrodden, oppressed fellow named ???, (pronounced ‘Work’)
Little FroggieParticipant(#) – Thank you.
EEK – Yes, to me work is.. forget it, you don’t wanna hear what my opinion about work is… Oops.. I gotta get back to my job…
December 2, 2014 3:10 am at 3:10 am in reply to: Do not assume they don't understand your language. #1045325Little FroggieParticipantI don’t understand English. Is anyone talking about me here?

December 1, 2014 2:53 pm at 2:53 pm in reply to: Is it ever appropiate to talk back to a Rebbi? #1046191Little FroggieParticipantNo, SL, I mean it. I really do!! I’m pretty much involved in my children’s chinuch, all aspects. I can discern when one did have an issue that day just be the looks, I have an easy-going rapport with Rabbeim, teachers and principals.. Right you are, some of my children have had run ins… some have had issues.. still no abuse at all, in any shape or form. And in all my years of being a parent I cannot recall any complaint of a Rebbie or teacher who acted out of anger. All the one’s I’ve come across are well disciplined, Yerei Shamaim, caring and devoted. The future Posek Hador and Roshei Yeshiva of Brisk (my sons) are a product of their work.
I don’t know where you live, maybe it’s time to emigrate to NY… (sure, you hear stories… but it’s NOT THE NORM – that’s why it’s a story)
December 1, 2014 7:36 am at 7:36 am in reply to: Is it ever appropiate to talk back to a Rebbi? #1046183Little FroggieParticipantSL,
(I suppose you were responding to me)
I’m sorry you had such an experience. But know, that’s not the norm. At least not around here.
Read what the Rebbe above wrote. I have the same feelings.
And I wasn’t saying that OTD cannot come from other sources, only that a family which tolerated belittling, derision, scorn towards Rabbonim, Rebbes and Morahs will have ?”? an issue… (btw, it’s not my own words)
And I wasn’t ?”? condoning abuse, or abusive educators. The problem with abusive educators can be even those who abuse verbally, a scar from a verbal attack can be very long in healing too.
Again, (and I’m not going to be drawn and dragged down into debate) plain ???? and Gemarrah do warrant corporeal punishment, no amount of books, sefarim, sermons etc. can distort or falsify the sagacious advice of Shlomo hamelech himself. All later books and advice are NOT the intended words, rather an adaptation towards our generation. And as I’ve written above, today’s system has nothing special to show. Read Rabbi Miller’s approach to chinuch. Again, this is all about an approach for caring, devoted, rational, level-headed mechanchim. Those who act not upon impulse rather upon sound judgment and deliberation. I was not at all referring to the issue of abusive mechanchim.
Again, I really feel bad for your terrible encounter with the system.
Little FroggieParticipantI used to be a Rabbi. Then I joined the CR…
(btw, there’s a specific issur, prohibition to cause pain to an orphan, or any disadvantaged individual. Not something to be taken lightly. Tell him I said)
Little FroggieParticipantOK, so no one noticed.
Mazel Tov and ???? ??? ???, Flatbush Mother, to all your “candles”
Little FroggieParticipantBrochos from a Little Froggie
Get Well Fast!! ????? ????.
Smile.. Oops – I forgot you can’t. Oy!!! We’re having you in mind!
????? ??????
?”?
Little FroggieParticipantHave people acknowledge that you brought a smile to their face.
Little FroggieParticipantHaving a meaningful, purposeful conversation two posts in a row, without getting sidetracked, threadjacked.
November 30, 2014 6:46 pm at 6:46 pm in reply to: Is it ever appropiate to talk back to a Rebbi? #1046171Little FroggieParticipantSL, thank you!!
And yes, some of my children are young. Esp. our new addition ?”? two months ago. But some .. suffice it to say a couple of them are “not young” anymore. (maybe, no definitely, I am)
Little FroggieParticipantIf not for someone here, obviously from the Upper Echelons in the know.. who changed my link too..
November 30, 2014 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm in reply to: Is it ever appropiate to talk back to a Rebbi? #1046169Little FroggieParticipant“The Little I know”,
To start, Shlomo Hamelech in his oft misconstrued, distorted words of true chochma and mussar, says explicitly to train, by use of the punishments where needed. Scratch that – even where NOT NEEDED!! Anyone who had a bit Gemarrah ‘reading’ will have come across ??? ?? ???? ?? ??? ???? ????? ??????. And they bring the wise words of Shlomo hamelech, not the ones so often misconstrued, but the saying ???? ??? ??????. And I suspect the Gemarrah is refereing to physical punishment – no one died from an extra scream. And to say Shlomo hamelech used that as a last resort, a last emergency option – well that’s just being foolish and distorting the Gemarah. Gemarrah actually says it’s a FIRST OPTION ??”? ?????. And then again, one can always distort ANYTHING written (oh, it’s the last resort, oh, there’s a new method, a new torah.. that’s from the dark ages…)
You wanna say something about ????? ??????, today’s generation is weaker, cannot live up to the wise counsel of Shlomo hamelech, say it. But don’t misconstrue and falsify his timeless wise words.
And I don’t think there are Yeshivos who “who boast having rebbeiim who will find an excuse to smack up talmidim towards the beginning of the school year to “show who is boss””. Aren’t you laying it on a bit?? Really?!? – smack up …to show who is boss.
And if those that went off were a direct outcome of the system of old, doncha think there shoulda been a whole army of OTDs just STARTING to come to an END now, when we have our grand new methods?!? Hmm, just wondering.
And I don’t really suspect today’s system has anything to brag about. Teaching children to challenge their elders, parents, teachers, Rebbeim etc.? I have a strong feeling that today’s generation of selfish, over indulged, arrogant, egotistical, insolent, brazen and disrespectful youth (and already some adults) is a direct consequence from the “child first” mentality. ?? ???? ??? ??? ????. “Lay your hands off the child”, “reward him” etc. Show him he’s in charge, show him how to disdain his elders, authority etc. What do you expect?
I have no idea what went on in this particular case (for some reason they don’t seem to care for my sagacious advise), but this I do know – to TEACH a child chutzpah, any chutzpah, is to kill him for life! – ?? ???? ??????? A career of destruction.
Could be I wrote about this one time, (true story). There was this famous mechanech (maybe Rosh Yeshiva, Rebbie?) in Eretz Yisroel who a father came literately crying to – his son rebelled, went off etc.
So the Rabbi said “I know. And I’m waiting for you”
“Hu?!?”
Replied he, “You don’t recognize me, I do, however, recognize you. You were once with your son sitting on a bus, when an elderly man got on. Your son respectfully stood you and offered him his seat. You told your son to sit down, he got the seat first, no need to give it away, etc. You sowed the seeds with your own hands – now you’re reaping the fruits.”
Teaching a child disrespect – the worst thing a parent could do.
One more thing if I may, I’ve been around here (this globe, not this site) quite a few years, I’ve noticed that a home where Rabbonim, teachers, Morahs, Rebbeim are held in high esteem and reverence, children of that home are ?”? more or less OK. Homes where the Shabbos table is replete with derision of the above… ?’ ??????. AND I’VE SEEN IT, time and again.
Parents – the future of your children is in your hands. It’s an easy game to blame this one and that. Oh he went OTD because of this Rebbe, that one potch… A lot (not all) boils down to what I wrote.
oh, And blessed be my Rebbi’s hands (and stick) who tenderly, caringly, lovingly guided me on to the right path.
Little FroggieParticipantNo. Go live up to the title. And tell ’em I said so.
Little FroggieParticipant(too ashamed to admit my CR age)
Little FroggieParticipantPAA, Am I silly or I don’t comprehend something? Would HaShem tell someone to hate Him c”v?!? Why would he tell someone to hate Jews – and actual part of Him?!?
To hate Jews as a whole (by siding with our murders – FOR THAT PURPOSE) is hating HaShem, in my humble opinion.
Little FroggieParticipantPAA:
Rashi in Chumash ommits the ?????. I don’t know medrash, am not a Talmid nor a Chacham (there’s a reason I don’t join in all the scholarly discussions here…)
Little FroggieParticipantPAA, Sorry I missed that.
And the obvious reason is – because they hate His people. HaShem and His people are one. ??? ?? ????? ?? ????? ???? ?? ???? ???? ?????.
Nope. I wouldn’t think someone who publicly embrace murderers of His people to be loving His people. Or Him!
Little FroggieParticipantOK, A GOOD question.
Here lies the main difference. The reform conservative etc. are not haters of our people, neither of HaShem. And, if I may add, it’s IS possible to get through to them. These characters, however, are ???? ????? ?????, they are ????? ???? ?? ???? therefore they’re ???? ?????. And it’s a mitzvah to hate these as an extension of Ahavas HaShem – we cannot stand a hater of our Best Friend. No, we’re not here to get through to them – we can’t – nobody could – we’re just here to show our utter contempt towards ????? ??? ????. That’s ???? ?? ?????, no answer, because there’s no dealing with them, just for us (and others so they not join).
That’s what David Hamelech wrote, ??? ?????? ?’ ????.. ??????? ??? ??. The same Dovid Hamelech, fiery with love for HaShem and Jewish people, wrote the immortal, inspiring word of Tehillim, laden with feelings of yearning, repentance, joy, awe etc.
Little FroggieParticipantThere are excellent Kallah class teachers out there.. Find one that fits your direction, calling..
(haven’t received your invitation yet)
Little FroggieParticipantOomis, who cares how many chronological years, how many birthdays (candles) have passed? The main thing is how you make yourself out to be, which is not bad, no, not bad at all!!. Gemarah, in fact, says that ‘old woman’ is determined not by actual age, but by one’s own youthfulness, which I detect is pretty much still vibrant, pulsating through your veins.
Little FroggieParticipantShabbos with a weird Jew
Little FroggieParticipantOurTorah: While they did point out that you’re civil and impartial while engaging in debate and argument, it should be pointed out that here it’s different.
We’re talking here about a hater of HaShem and His people, as was pointed out here time and again. There is no room for civility – an enemy of my HaShem, of my people, is my enemy too. One of the aspects of ???? ??? is feeling and showing contempt for ????? ???.
Little FroggieParticipantYeah, I need advise too. It was some time ago when we had one of those things EXPLODE in the middle of the night!! It popped straight out of the glass and started to burn!!! By a Nes someone ‘happened to be up then… They’re not only noisy, they can be VERY DANGEROUS!!
November 26, 2014 3:34 am at 3:34 am in reply to: Question for people like Little Froggie and OURTorah #1044138Little FroggieParticipantUh oh. Now you gave me a reputation to live up to… Nah… (where’s the <Esc> key?!?)
How’s a wild, untamed, <Edited/Deleted/Zapped> supposed to compare to soft spoken, intellectual, level-headed….
Little FroggieParticipantNovember 25, 2014 6:21 am at 6:21 am in reply to: Question for people like Little Froggie and OURTorah #1044129Little FroggieParticipantWOW! How in the world did I make it into your radar?! (blush) Thanks.
But anyways, there was a time when I actually did that, well not really getting too personal, but bashing a bit. At least that what some here think. (Luckily under a different s/n so you wouldn’t know!) It was about about HaShem, Torah or Jews or Ikrei Emunah which I don’t take lightly, neither should anyone else.
And believe it or not, I’ve learned that, too, from the ‘bit’ of time I’ve been here. Something about ???? ?? ???? ????. Still learing… progressing… maybe one day…
November 24, 2014 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm in reply to: Why you should be happy that you aren't in high school #1044332Little FroggieParticipantMotek, if that’s your attitude toward the blissful, happy, delightful, thrilling, exciting, exhilarating teenage years of school – what are you going to write about afterwards…..
IT ONLY GETS BETTER (you know what I mean?)
It’s all in the attitude!!! c’mon, hapha smile please.
Little FroggieParticipant(pssst what was it?, mod’s aren’t looking now)
Little FroggieParticipantHey! That’s EXACTLY how great great (*1000) uncle sounded (especially with a mouth full of that red, red stuff)!
Little FroggieParticipantI don’t know if he’s sincere… (read all above posts), we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt…
But why would you, Oomis, see a doctor if he was bothered by it??
Little FroggieParticipantCertain things are doche Shabbos. I suppose you didn’t come across the photo of these ‘characters’ ON SHABBOS doing some kind of ‘pikuach nefesh’ in (I think it was) Iran. Talis, Shtreimal and complete costume… in an anti Israel function…
November 23, 2014 3:15 am at 3:15 am in reply to: Caution: People in YWN-CR may be lesser than they appear #1043124Little FroggieParticipantAt the WHAT?!? I don’t want to be nosy but (you’ve piqued my curiosity) what’s that about.
You were (ARE!) always the one here with extreme level-headedness, sechel hayashar, clear perception, intuitive – always offering others Chizuk, a kind word, encouragement, support. WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU!!
Little FroggieParticipantOH WOW!!!
Just caught this in time.
A very good Shabbos to you.
And just in case let me wish you a Gut Voch in advance.
Just to have myself covered: A Good Shabbos, next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week. And a Gut Voch. And a Good Shabbos, the next week.

Little FroggieParticipantOh, so sorry missed that.
Here’s my belated good night. And Good Morning.
Let me offer you, in advance.
Good Night. Good Morning. Good Night. Good Morning. Good Night. Good Morning.Good Night. Good Morning.Good Night. Good Morning.Good Night. Good Morning.Good Night. Good Morning.Good Night.

That should do for some time.
Come back when it runs out.
Little FroggieParticipantWhat’s the difference what we speak? We’re all writing here.
Little FroggieParticipantOomis, you’re a doctor too?!
Little FroggieParticipantthanks for pointing this one out, streekgeek
Mod’s – do you see this thread? I once used to be good…
Little FroggieParticipant$HashtagPoster, Maybe I’d like you too (if you’d change your ‘call sign’ to $)
$Just sayin’….
Little FroggieParticipantvoos epes
As mentioned before, it’s a Mitzvah to hate sonei Yisroel and sonei HaShem. Besides, they’re looking for it, these characters get goaded on by our reaction to their depravity.
And Chavi, as Gemarah (that’s where we buy our Daas Torah) often says, ?”? ??? ???? ???, and Rabbi Miller ??”? points out that obviously ??? ???? is more than Torah. And any normal person’s sechel tell him that these idiots are… just that.
When you invent a new ideology and breathe new life into it, your gonna end up with results… OK, maybe the ideology (some, to a degree) was there, Gedolim, past and ???”? present…certain shitos… still these lunatics are the ones who made it into a new life, a new being of it’s own… Look how far it has grown… From the idea of not joining sinners, maybe of not “going up a wall”.. to embracing, hugging goyim, sworn enemies of Klal Yisroel. Yep – to them it’s all in the name of their new religion.. See how far this new being has gone? Is this what Harav Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld or the Satmar Rav had in mind?
And I tend to wonder – they accuse Tzionim of “avodah zara”, the avodah zara of tzionim… what do they call their distorted, perverted new “religion”, the one that now took on a demented life of its own?
