    The Chesed of the Ribbono Shel Olam is actually how we deal with death. It begins with the Shiva, shloshim etc. As the years distance us from the petira we feel a little better. Give yourself time and commit your feelings in a diary. I lost my baby brother about 10 years ago and my dad a little over 6 years. There is no rule book as to how you should feel, it is there and allow it to be there. This will ultimately assist your healing process. Acceptance is a huge part here. May the nifteres be a mailitz yoisher. A goed gebenchte year.

    you did not miss any Noahide laws, however, as Jews we tend to remember a yortzeid based on the Yiddish date. No one inferred for a non-Jew not to commiserate on September 11. I thought my intention was conveyed in a crystal clear manner. Sorry if you feel you were mislead. My message that i am attempting to convey is that due to the extensive publicity associated with September 11 one tends to not relate to Chof Gimmel Elul as the Yortzeid day for Kaddish etc.

    First we say B”H for what we have. Where ever you call home, make it good and it will be. Even in Utopia one can potentially find bad. So, if you don’t like here, then learn to or leave, stop whining.

    thanks for your perspective. As it states : Al tadun et chavairecha ad sh’e tagia limkomo. In this case Chas ve’cholia anyone should ever have to deal with something as catastrophic of this nature.

    I became ‘frum’ about 42 years ago when it was not in fashion. It is not about the mitzvos she is or not keeping but her emunah/belief in the Ribono Shel olam. If the doubts are there there then mitzvos are an issue however if emunah is strong work with that.

    The frum society is not immune to the goings on in the world. Fortunately today we have well trained frum people who can help guide us back on track. We need to recognize the ‘need’ to take of this. No fancy words are needed here.

    H-shem is asking us to wake up. So many calls to this effect. Start your cheshbon hanefesh early this year. The rest will be easy. Take nothing for granted and do something oh so simple and beautiful. Greet people every day without them greeting you first. We need to show resepect after all people are created be’tzelem Elokim are we not? The second Bais Hamikdash was destroyed because of sinas chinam. So why do we perpetuate it?

    In the place of a wake call for K’lal Yisroel so many people are steering what happened into a public event which ultimately leads to all these money making schemes. We just cried on Tisha B’eav, we need to do Teshuva, deburim be’alma. Leiby A”H was a korban, we however do not do the cheshbonos of the Ribbono Sh-l Olam. Stop with all these outcries of self pity, recognize H-shem will take care of us, periodically we need reminders to observe mitzvos properly. Take on something you would not normally do, whether it is learning for an extra 15 minutes a day, no loshon hora, shimras Shabbos more carefully and above all koved habrius, respect each other as we are ultimately created be’tzelem Elokim. This will indeed I”YH be a tikun for Leiby A”H.Leave judgement to the ultimate judge and do your thing. Our focus is to far off track, or perhpas you still need to tell the Ribono sh-l Olam how to be the master architect of this world. This job is taken!!!!!!!!!!!

    remember people, what goes around comes around, be nice and they will be nice to you, it is hard to go against that, be honest, be upfront, above all be respectful, after all this is your spouses parent. Now they are are also your ‘parents’, so the shaila that remains I suppose, Kibud Av ve’aim? The Aseres Hadibros are quite explicit here. No room for error in judgement.That is is why it says Kabed, respect, and not start with love, they get it automatically, so which ever way you slice this one must still draw the respect conclusion or we have failed what H-shem truly wants and demands of us.

    Yaela:

    The Torah is perfect, we are not. When our time comes for a din and cheshbon the only question we are asked by the Ribono shel olam is why we did not fulfill our obligations. Each of us are fully and totally responsible for our actions. Covering one’s hair in addition is a constant reminder like the the yarmulke, we are so much and H-shem is the rest, in addition the request from H-shem is for one to be modest, display of a woman’s hair is considered part of her beauty which is meant only for the pleasure of her husband and no one else. Serving H-shem is a privilege and not an obligation, Torah is a way of life not a religion. You are covering your hair for yourself and derech agav your hubbie.

    Good luck in your avenue of pursuit of your feelings and

    Torah obligations.

    Today’s generation is getting married with one foot already out the door. The going gets a little tough and off we go. What happened to old fashioned hard core values, why is there a disconnect. Very simple, Pirkai Avos: Al tihiyu ke’avodim hameshamshim etc. This is called the conditional generation. How about doing just for the sake of, you get something back, fine, gravy :). Give yourself a chance, give your marriage a real chance, you will be happier and the kids ultimately as well. Show some respect for each other, no matter who does what. If you need help to work on/out your marriage, this is as important and saying a brocho, or any other mitzva, get the help before you on that path of self destruct, look how many people you are going to drag through the mud with you.

    The ultimate judge, Ribono Shel Olam, has that task. We are so quick to convict. Concentrate on the healing process in a positive way. The rozaiach’s punishment will be metered out to him in good time. To question H-shem why this happened is not the Jewish way. Rezoin haborai is ultimate and supreme without question or doubt. This is a goyish mentality to make a media conviction. Do not misunderstand me for one second, in no way shape, form or size am I condoning this appalling act.

    education takes some time before the desired effects can be felt. In the interim more radical steps can be taken, for example the usage of GPS tracking devices, this would have a two fold effect, one the child is automatically more keenly aware of their surroundings and secondly their whereabouts are very traceable. This is not an expensive technology and can help solve and resolve so many issues.

    Just remember to be a Monday morning quarter-back is not the best policy.

    You have the tools. Recognize them in your own inner strength. Saying you believe verbally and not coming from the heart will not help. you must sincerely believe on all levels. Sounds simple,,,,like the fellow looking parking,says to G-d if i find a parking spot $50.00 will go to charity, and then suddenly a spot opens up and of course, never mind G-d i just found one.

    Every summer more liberties are taken, more testing of the waters as to how far one can go. Woman on the trains going to the city need a ‘mirror’ to reflect and see how they are dressed. Nobody said mitzvas are hard or easy. It is our way of life. If you are looking for a ‘heter’ permission, you will always find, is that what we really want? Do your own cheshbon hanefesh and ask, how was I raised?

    One is being ‘poretz geder’ in this case. Latter of the law spirit of the law. If you want a heter so badly it can be found, however, this does not make it morally or ethically appropriate. Actions are accountable. Think before you do , there are consequences. Stop being selfish!!!!

    So many people are getting married today with one foot out the door. The going gets tough, okay no problem, divorce. There is no one to blame but yourself,how many couples go to marriage counselling? The stigma of the young generation. They know it all!!! Kids do suffer as a result of your actions. Stop being so selfish and feeling sorry for yourself.

    Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you put in is what you will get! Your child may not know the difference ,however the effects will be felt later on. You make a child, raise the child, they come first not you.

    Sheker Ha’chain ve’hevel Ha’yofi or so we say everything Friday night, for those of us who do so say it, understand it, believe in it, Hi Tishalal. Emunah Peshuta is not from the mouth, but from the heart. H-shem listens to our tefilos more clearly when we cry and daven from the heart. Sincerity is measured very carefully by the Ribbono Shel Olam. If you present or feel negatively about yourself others will definitely perceive you as such. The perception of others concerning you remember is dependent on you.

    The heart does not know how to lie, cold feet might suggest or prompt a doubt, but that is all it is. If there is a more serious reason, act upon it, get serious help. It does not help to be sorry afterwards.
