Where else besides hefkervelt is the car service campaign being advertised? What type of inappropriate behavior is it referring to? it says vahayvin yovin. I guess I'm not a mavin.....
ReplyDeleteCan a girl take a female car service to the Thursday night cholent spot
ReplyDeleteOnly if she brings some chulent to her driver.
DeleteThe idea that nameless 'community activists' should be leading the pack is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteIf somebody really thinks this is an issue, let them put their name to the story, and take responsibility for this. Otherwise, it's just another pashkevill.
Not sure what the deal is with these car seervices but if any of them are true why were the police not contacted? The fact the pol;ice have not made any arrests for drugs or molestation is leaving me with some suspicion on these stories.
ReplyDeleteSeems from the comments here that the people who own or work for the car services are getting desperate.
ReplyDeleteSo who paid you to comment?
DeleteWhich eateries are listed?
ReplyDeletePeopke don't have to be physically molested for this to be a problem. If the driver is a low life yehudi,and uses a very frum sheltered girls cell phone number to call her and start a relationship to the point that she changes totally , and the dispatchers might even know about it ,then this is a problem. These car services are advertising their services as being made and being safe for our oilom and if they hire low life drivers ,then it's better to use goyishe car services .
ReplyDeleteThis in-service day is a fake excuse. The truth is, it’s not safe to have school tomorrow because our Vaad’s love of traffic has made navigating the streets impossible.
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, women should not be allowed to eat in public. All the moreso, young unmarried women.
ReplyDeleteThe Vaad Hakashrut should not be given a hechsher certification to mixed-seating restaurants, they should move out to the catering halls, which thereby do not become breaches of tzniyut in our community.
Anyway, our young ladies should be home, learning how to cook a chulent for their husbands. Thiz concept of men cooking chulent has no basis in our mesorah. Next thing you know, they'll be cooking a chulent with chicken meat.
And the in-service day is really a cover for teachers learning how to make a chulent using turkey Now it's avodah zarah, and in our schools.
sarcasm is dumb. and you're not even close to being funny.
Deleteif you are going to censor and even remove comments about vizhnitz being עבודה זרה and a brainwashing cult, then the least you could do is not promote their cause by putting information about their events and giving a phone number to help them find hosts
ReplyDeleteI am very disappointed as hefkervelt is usually a place where bnei torah can express their torahdik outlook on things. this is a serious issue of אביזרייהו דע"ז and its not right to disallow comments on the subject
The parents in Orchos Chaim pay an extra fee to have Sunday and holiday bussing. It’s not coming at a cost to the school
