its most likely the time that people relaize they havent had random conversations yet in the day

sushee-why do you think that soceity was better before women where treated equally? besides without bais yaakovs how do you expect for all these young girls being able to work so their husbnands can learn in kollel all their lives( girls can only work in certain places if they know the halochos wich they learn in school!) and what problems exactly may that be for tznius please tell me?

Torah613- in what way do you think women are distracting to men? and you are being very sexiest right now,you can say majority of women do have less body mass then men but there are many women out their that are stronger and can fight much better then certain men

Like MorahRach said,why add things on to a very limited life style already? and for all those men who keep finding a need to start forums like this about weather or not the things girls wear are tznius i would like you to go out and try to find tznius clotheing that fits all your “requirments” such as this,i think you would be surprized after to find that its amazing how many women actually follow things even with them being so hard

snowbunnny-i think your totally right,this is a long standing issue and not really the place to be dissuced on this kind of site,especially around the topic of sweatshirts

torah613-your attitude is what surprizes me! yes there are some tzahal that arent Jewish,but what about those that are? Do you really think it makes them feel good when people say we shouldnt support tzahal just becasue there are non Jews,it should be we support it BECAUSE there are jews no matter the amount! and by wearing a magen david doesnt show that i relize that my fellow brethern and people i know are fighting with their lives so that we may go to E’Y,and yes we should be relaizing the secular state to some extent! otherwise we might not be even allowed in today!!

my sincere condolences to the family, but atleast we still have the cr for good old fashion jewish advice

Sleeping later is not really a direct syptom of ADHD, because of other things that ADHD causes you dont go to sleep at a normal time or get as much sleep as you really need,so you sleep later then usual and is actually one of the more annoying things of adhd i feel formyself personally. refuah shleimah i hope you figure out what needs to be down and your out of your pain soon!

yes I am aware, I was saying more of because i havent really contributed really as much as others here, and in a long time so i was kind of suprised you mentioned me,I agree mostly with you that someone expressing themselves in though out way does make it well written however sometimes spontaniouse writing really carries the writers emotoins better

what i ment was,is that alot of seminaries out there are teahing hashkafic values preparing you for the rest of your life,you will I’YH be buliding your very own houses soon and needing to raise your children with yiras Shamayim and need to have strength yourslef, so whats diffrent with lev by,is that it does that AND gives you tates of diffrent careers,andhelps you to see some diffrent jobs, yes lev by is like ateres and seminar a girl thinking of hadar also thougt of lev by,so its really is around that type,i hope all this helps and that what ever seminaries you choose and get accepted to will be the ones that will be right for you and hlep you to grow:)

im glad hat helped, i would be happy to tell you more,anythign specific you want to konw about it?

We never will

She walked up the path to her destination

Not able to take her yes off it

Standing so strong and giving a message to all

Never forget, never again

In the builiding stood a woman welcoming all who came in

The girl herself thinks weather its possible to enjoy being there where she will learn

Never forget. Never again

As the girl wonders the empty halls she wonders in her empty heart

Why did noo ne tell me? How could they ever keep it from me?

For now she saw the truth and it daunts her to this day

Never forget never again

A Million faces a billion stories

They all came from somewhere hoping to head to a place

And yet there they stood frozen in time before her

Never forget never again

She walks by a car but not just any

A cattle car is what it was ment for

And yet humans where shoved and killed inside

Never forget never again

Her heart skips a beat

The facts still making their way

Anger arises in her

Never forget never again

Getting ready to leave she thinks through her visit

And overall once message remains etched in her heart

So many lost so many taken from us

Surely there is something we can all do

Dazed as she was she kept thinking to herself

This has to be known

The world must know

Never forget never again

Appreciation, do you have it?

We are the special children to have been chosen.

We are privileged,

Yet do we show it?

Do we say thank you when given a test, showing us how strong we are?

We should!

Other wise how would our Father in heaven know we love Him so much?

Betrayer

Leaves crunching under my feet

Crickets chirping

A sigh of relief escapes my lips

Alone at last

For miles I treked seeking solitude

And here I am

Waiting

Waiting to be helped

To be given a hand

And here is where I still wait

For you will never come

Yes its you

You who never game me a smile

You who left it all to others saying you had better things to do

You who I looked up to and now pity

For I know you kind and I know you will not change

Yes I know you deep inner thought

Deer reflection of mine

well thats something entirely diffrent! that is a school being unsmart with the activites they give their students! They for sure should have bought something and even not they should have behaved normal enough that pple wouldent see them coming a whole year later!!! and i think that girls dressing up on purim is fine if they do a little bit tzniusly, i mean why when older do they have to stop if they have the right intent???? i once saw a group of abou 7 or 8 high school girls walk in shul for megillah and none of them dressed up and i heard a 9 year old say to her friend” if when were older we dont get to dress up then i dont want to get older”! i mean come one, just cause ur older u cant have fun anymore, is that the message we should send kids????

curiosity- i dont think the poster felt judged, she had nothing to be judged about, you two where discussing your opinions on a subject they just happend to be different opinions

mytake- i reread the earlier comments and i relize where i made a mistake, my apoligies!

mods is there a reason why my post isnt here? Why can i not stand up for myself when someone is clearly judging me wrongly???

I am not sure i understand fully, we didnt do anything wrong yet we cant discuss what we where? Either we crossed a line or not, and if we did can you tell us what for future refrence so it doesnt happen again?

MiddlePath- Yes I did write it and thank you so much, I am really glad that you enjoyed it. I will hopefully post some more poems another time.

Noone actually knows what it means, but they have some good guesses. The idea is really just to make rosh chodesh something to look forward to and this is how they achieve it.

GOegraphy- each month a diffrent country….

HUE and me- achdues and colors combined

GO out of this world

Much hatzlacha to you!

i dont think they mean to scare, but it does have mixed feelings,on one hand they try to do it nicely but think honestly do u really think that it makes such a great impact standing up and saying” keep tznuis its important, if u dont u will be punished” or tell them somethinga little scary to show proof? i am still deciding but read this and tell me what u think!! :

My Dear Sisters,

I am writing to you in my last moments, with the last threads of my strength. I am writing to you with blood and tears, from the bottom of my broken and tormented heart.

Yes, I, Revital A., 19 years old, am standing on the threshold of death, so young, but already feeling all the gates of life shutting slowly before me. I am like a beautiful flower closing its petals.

Like all of you, I had my dreams about love, husband, children and social position.

But Hashem has decided otherwise, and I know today that if I had lived differently, nothing would have happened.

I was born in a religious family from the center of Israel. From the day I can remember, I knew I was a beautiful child. From kindergarten, I attracted everybody’s attention, and I knew I had been blessed with a rare beauty, and I am not exaggerating. Even though people were talking my exceptional beauty, my dear and wise parents tried to minimize the effect of such a gift on me, and made all possible efforts to put the whole family on daily routine. But I was a bright child, and I cherished more and more my beauty.

My friends encouragements made me understand that beauty can buy anything in this world – friendship, position and honor. I learned to exploit it for my goals, I wore clothes which draw attention, my very long hair caused astonishment and envy, and every detail in my appearance was thoroughly taken care of. I enjoyed the long looks of people everywhere I went – to my deep regret.

My teachers in high school tried to change my mind, but it was already too late – I was attracted to a magic circle called “to please and be outstanding”.

I can remember one of my teachers’ words: “Revital, you have received a rare present, a special beauty – This is your trial in life, keep it carefully for the right person to come in your life”. I was pretending to be convinced, but these words were just passing by my ears. I was addicted to my looks and did everything to bring people to admiration. I know today that I have caused hundreds or even thousands of people to fail because of my clothing. I was really enjoying it!

And then I received a first warning sign. One evening, while preparing an omelet in the kitchen, and made a brisk turn and my beautiful long hair got caught in the fire and became in seconds a red and fearful flame. I was saved, but my hair had gone. I remember my hysterical crying in the hospital, and my father trying to console me: “Revital, Hashem has made a miracle. You could have been entirely burnt! You have now an opportunity to change and leave your foolish attitude behind you”.

But I didn’t listen. I was 16 years old then, and within two years my hair grew back to what it was, and everything was forgotten.

I was the queen of my class. My friends loved me, anything I wanted was granted, and I never was alone. I grew more and more beautiful with the years, and at 16, I began to put on make-up and tight clothes. At this stage, I even got involved in some trouble. It is hard for me to write about it, but I think you can guess.

I forgot to tell you about my grand-mother. She was a wonderful person, a real “Tzadekes” and I loved her very much. She was very sad and upset about my spiritual state of mind.

She was giving me money to buy more decent clothes, but nothing helped! She died before I was 17. I cried a lot and didn’t know how to live without her, and for a brief period, I even became a little bit more religious. But time eased the pain, and within a few months I was back to my bad habits, boastful and immodest as ever.

And then I received a second sign from above. One night I had a dream about my grand-mother. She was sitting on a stone and crying. I asked her why she was crying, and she pointed to her head without saying a word. I woke up very upset, but I forgot the whole thing very quickly, and this second sign melted away without any thought.

And then, I received the big blow. It came gradually but consistently. At the beginning, there were headaches, and my mother said I was tired and studying too much, that I should rest more, but deep down I felt it was something more serious.

After a month, I couldn’t even stand because of the headaches, and I thought my head was going to explode. My mother and I were worried and anxious on our way to the doctor, to get the answers to all the examinations and analyses I had been through, but the doctor’s face revealed the fearful truth. He said: “such a beautiful girl and so sick!” I burst into tears, asked for explanations. My mother and I were disoriented and helpless before this new and cruel reality: I had a cancerous tumor in my head.

It was only a question of time. I don’t remember how we got home that day. I just remember tears, fear, confusion and pain.

And suddenly I remembered the dream, my grand-mother crying and pointing to her head! If only I had understood at the time the meaning of that dream, my life would have different! But I didn’t give any importance to this dream and went on with my life. The next day, at the hospital, I began the treatment I never thought would be so painful. I felt death crawling slowly inside me, burning my bones, my blood, and my whole self.

The rest of my story is sad and painful, and I don’t even have the strength to write it.

My wonderful hair fell. Within a few months I was left completely bald, fearfully pale and weak. Every doctor I met was mentioning my rare beauty, and I, every time, felt my heart break a little bit more. Hashem had given me a precious gift, an outstanding beauty, and I had used it the wrong way, instead of keeping it intact and pure for a true cause. Oh Hashem!

Do it for yourselves, do it for me!

Revital

Be more carful I guess… but it will be hard seeing as how i was carful before! The only thing i can imagine doing about it really is stopping all together and i just am not sure how long i could go without the YWN CR!!!!!

I know you dont, but you can only listen so long until you feel that saying tehilim might be your better choice of time spent…

In my opinion bjj is as yeshivish as it gets! ( not intendin to offend pple!)
