The education is based on memorizing, very little writing, because writing allows you some freedom of thought. Everything is regulated, all their clothes, even the shoes.<br /><br />Who knows what's really going on in this woman's mind? The syndrome suspected by the medical staff makes sense. This is her escape, being in the hospital with her son.<br /><br />My neighbor's family wanted to sit shiva for him when he left them, even though he was still religious. But the rebbe told them not to, and now he has contact.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-67584519424523426052009-07-19T14:47:56.843+03:002009-07-19T14:47:56.843+03:00Shalom!

I am in favor of supporting kollel students, but an ENTIRE community of perpetual kollel students? That's not what's written in Pirkei Avot or the Rambam.<br />Yes, Ben-Yehuda, if we have too much derech eretz we're going to lose much of this eretz. Before the expulsion a few of my neighbors were extremely worried about losing the "good name" of K'far Darom. I told everyone who would listen that if we worry too much about the good name, we won't have a K'far Darom to worry about. <br />So many people are so satisfied with the handling of K'far Maimon and similar events. What are they thinking? The Yesha Council owes a big apology not only to the people of Gush Katif and the northern Shomron, but also the entire missile battered Negev.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-63115953613895156272009-07-19T12:20:07.659+03:002009-07-19T12:20:07.659+03:00...and so we will lose....and so we will lose.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-92227312965190276532009-07-19T11:55:37.897+03:002009-07-19T11:55:37.897+03:00BY, you jest?

(I cannot be classified either that nor datit leumi.)<br /><br />I am TOTALLY ASHAMED and furious about the way these hoodlums are causing such a chilul Hashem!And, during the 3 weeks. It's insane!!!<br /><br />No matter how poorly the social services and police have behaved by locking up this sick woman, nothing can justify such criminal behaviour!!! All the "mainstream" charedim that I know feel exactly the same as I do.<br /><br />The Eida Charedit has played right into the hands of the media who love the opportunity for more "charedi bashing." I do not envy these hoodligans when they go "upstairs" on Yom Ha'din.<br /><br />As my grandma would say in yiddish<br />"What a shanda!"Netivotgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746343586043134996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-88171902943132986892009-07-17T06:00:51.994+03:002009-07-17T06:00:51.994+03:00Read carefully: (quoted) "Not all in that com...Read carefully: (quoted) "Not all in that community participate in the riots."<br /><br />But the leadership isn't stopping the riots.

(Especially the hilltop kids, who are mostly wonderful Jews).<br /><br />I don't see a reason to criticize the Haredim. Certainly not condone it, but definitely not fall into the secular 'outsider' mindset and criticize.joshnoreply@blogger.com
