    1. Why is not reporting pretending nothing happened. Is it possible that are some issues you don't report on?
      Who decided that awareness actually helps as if people are not aware without all the so-called mental health experts having a field day?

  4. As talmidim of the mashgiach who taught us for over 10 years we should know what R Matisyahu would say had he been with us.

  7. the tragic story is a one in a billion but this article gives some background

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/postpartum-psychosis-rare-condition-spotlight-killing-three-children-m-rcna68165

    Thoughts of self-harm or harming others, particularly one’s children, can also be part of the condition but are less common. Among mothers suffering from postpartum psychosis, about 5% will attempt suicide and 4% will commit infanticide, said Michele Davidson, a postpartum psychosis expert and board member of Postpartum Support International.
    When these mothers kill, it is often done under the false notion that they are keeping their children from an even worse fate. “In nearly all the cases that are true postpartum psychosis, there really is not malicious intent,” she said. “It’s basically these women trying to save their babies or take their babies with them to heaven.”

  8. The frum society today is a pressure cooker between financially surviving getting kids into babysitter playgroup school camp moms carpooling all day keeping up with the kohens and what not the societal pressures to fit in and on and on there no stopping this runaway train. Young couples don't get a chance to live and relax

    3. Yes especially if parents are not in town or helping out as parents sometimes need to take care of themselves.

    4. You should be ashamed of yourself.

      Mental illness doesn't go away with 'live and relax', and life isn't about relaxing.

  10. If MIncha is in a tent, it is a great improvement. The halacha is that it is assur to daven outdoors, yet people just don't care. The minyanim on busses are a shande for Klal Yisroel, but we celebrate them as though they are an expression of Yiddishkeit.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Not exactly so. If someone is "on the way" and close to the zman, there are allowances to daven so. What is a shande is your lack of halachic depth, yet still feel the right to criticise.

      Delete
    2. Why are so many people 'on the way' every week? If they happen to be on the way, that's one thing.
      But these people have organized life that davening should take place in the least optimal halachic way. And then they have the gall to call themselves 'chassidim'. Unlike any Torah description of the chassidim and how they used to daven.

      Making a lechatchila out of allowances, and then celebrating it.

    3. So you've shown your true colors, and I won't engage further in your discussion. Please seek help for your mental illness.

    1. You're right that everyone jumps on the bandwagon, and opportunists abound. But what is sorely lacking is our leadership addressing this or any other current problem. They are MIA on most issues. I challenge you which shul in Lakewood has a Rov that will speak publicly about any current issue. Mental health, sholom bayis, chinuch, otd, financial, tuition, housing, Lakewood driving without regard to laws, chilul hashem issues, housing shortages, parnassa problems, shidduch crisis, children not accepted, spending habits, living standards, and the list goes on.
      This is the reason why people are open to hearing "anything" and anyone that can help them deal with all real life issues.

  13. The news sites obsession with using a tragedy for click bate is sick and evil
    Have they ever been so concerned about mental illness? What have they done prior for awarness?
    Do they care so much about sensitivity and privacy while showing victims in car accidents for click bate?
    Turn off the devices stop allowing their sewage to seep in

  14. People r turning to goyish opinion because our Gedolim choose to rather pretend nothing happened as we all feel by their silence. In the mean time everyone including mainly the woman are all upset and stressed out about it speculating what really happened and how to react to it

  17. What is this Lakewood Vaad? Is it another invention of the APP? I have never heard anything about it, who are they? What do they do? Whom do they represent?

    Can just anyone call themselves 'the Lakewood something or other'? Or do you need some kind of qualificaitons?

  18. YWN yeshiva untervelt news publishes a anonymous editorial about competing news sites who reported on the Lakewood tragedy. Such Hypocrisy coming from YWN who think they own the News of klal Yisroel. A filthy disgusting nasty website that has been spreading lashon Hora about klal Yisroel and Bizyu talmidei chachomin nombstop, a leading Rosh yeshiva in the US called them mecharcheri Riv
    they are angry that they were upended and scooped by others so they go to their playbook pretending to be holier and care about mental health and victims blah blah
    Protectionism at its best.
    They are trash and gossipy as the NYPrust
    There's nothing Yeshiva about them
