  2. I live in RBS, and I'm extremely concerned about the recent cases of child abuse in our community. I had the feeling that nothing has been done to avoid similar incidents from happening again in the future...and our kids are as vulnerable as ever.

    Thank you for posting the link to Tzedek-Tzedek, publicizing two events in RBS (a public talk and a professional workshop) about protecting our kids from child abuse.

    I now see that there are those who criticize, and those who do...

    Thank goodness we have people in Ramat Bet Shemesh taking the matter of Child Abuse seriously - and are working on practical steps and solutions.

    Kol Hakavod to Lema'an Achai & Ohel! Kol Hakavod to Limudei Lotti!

  3. I'm so upset about that booklet (#6), it's awful. When someone demonizes another person, one can become self-demonized as a result. Just awful!
    It's so hard to 'reason' with some frum people not in Israel, who just 'go along' with 'what their side says' no matter what.

    It's the "don't confuse me with facts"!

    Anonymous at 6:58 - please explain to me what is the issue with "covers her hair with both a shaitel and hat?" and "the deal with the Bra question". This is new to me and I wan to understand it. Via tsnius email please. Thank you.
