I can appreciate that they see the dangers of glasses with frames that lead the wearer of these frames down a terrible, slippery slope. I realize that they're trying to keep kids pure and innocent, but even I don't understand a word they're saying! Couldn't they attach photographs of forbidden frames, or would that lead to sin as well? How is a parent supposed to know what's forbidden? What's that? You say that they have takonos for hats and reklach and white shirts, so why not this? Well; I don't see the comparison. The fact is that most kids are pretty monotnous and homogenous when it comes to dress, at least in Mosdos like Tzaylem. They all realize what's accepted and what's not. The fact that some mothers might buy cute glasses for their kids is not gonna bring down Tzaylem, which is long past its peak. Printing an incoherent memo like this seems silly, at least to an outsider like me. These kids will be fine if we give them half a chance. Leave them alone and you'll see good things happen. Overreact and you'll see what happens, and you won't like what you see.
But what do I know.
Bubaleh, you're statement that, "The fact is that most kids are pretty monotnous and homogenous when it comes to dress," is exactly the point here: They want to keep it that way, and for whatever reason, when it comes to glasses it is not the case - hence the letter.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, in the past everyone in the cheder instinctively knew what clothing and accessories were appropriate, but due the length of the galus, and our many sins, some of that instinctive sensitively is fading – hence a need for a note home.
But since the school is taking a sensitive and tolerant approach, they didn’t want to mandate everything down to a choice between a couple frames – instead they are leaving some leeway and taking the Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s “I know it when I see it” approach.
"you're" should be your, Bubbeleh
ReplyDeleteHalevai it would be my first (or last) typo on blogger - laydeh, posts cannot be edited once they're posted.
ReplyDelete"laydeh"
ReplyDeleteIs this an attempt at Yiddish?
Is Lipa a Tzeilemer?
ReplyDelete"If" I had the "chutzpah" to criticize Lubavitch, you'd tell me how little I know, how great the Rebbe is, how terrible Menagdim are
ReplyDeleteEtc,blah,blah
(Despite the fact that there are very serious issues to discussin Lubavitch, issues you,true to fashion, never allow discussion of..)
Now you, an outsider feels comfortable to criticize a group they know nothing about??
Good job,keep it up.
Tell me,your boss that you cursed out here once,he allows you to post your royal dreque on his time??????
ReplyDeleteLubob ubber alles
Hugarians ülni az agyuk!
This Lubab seems to be obsessed with chitzoniyis. He (assuming its a "heh") has posted about summer levush, sun glasses, payos (Satmar likes the Yeminites, Reb Elya Ber's minchah, the nazi posts about the guy from BB's payos), red shoes at weddings etc.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that under his smashed hat he wears a white Reb Arelah kappel...
That facebook pic was posted on this blog before. Maybe the milkman with the yiddish love story.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, does it make a difference what glasses one wears when he watches that clip?
it is not Tzelem it is a offshoot of satmarer Fienshmeker, Tzelem is closed already since Nisan 1980

ReplyDelete1. הסיפור של השלט 'סכנת נפשות' שברקע
(2010-10-19 22:07:40)
בוקר אחד של אלול לפני 9 שנים בשעת בוקר מוקדמת הגיעו הפועלים הקבועים של 770 והיו צריכים לתקן משהו בקיר שמאחורי השלט. הפועלים הסירו את השלט, הביאו סולם והחלו בתיקון. לא עברו שעתיים והתרחש הפיגוע הנורא של בנייני התאומים. מיד כשנודע דבר הפיגוע אמר הרב קותי ראפ שיחי' שמכאן רואים כמה העולם מושפע מ-770: איך שנגעו בשלט שכתוב על איסור מסירת שטחים בארץ ישראל לידי הערבים, מיד קרה הפיגוע ה"י. מאז אף אחד לא מעז לנגוע בשלט הזה. סיפור אמיתי. הייתי נוכח בשעת מעשה.
