They would never do that, as even the threat would dash any shidduch hopes for 3 generations to come, at least.<BR/><BR/>Let the molesting continue, as long as no shidduchim are ruined.

See, he didn't use any of the popular key words that seems to get much of the Jewish community up in arms and demanding action.<BR/><BR/>He didn't use the word 'crisis'. He didn't use the word 'tznius'.<BR/><BR/>See, if Mr. Hikind had said 'we're setting up a task force to deal with the tznius crisis in our schools, camps and shuls', he would have had Jerusalem and Lakewood and Monsey plastered with Kol Korehs supporting his valiant effort.Pesky Settlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077745747562609723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-84407750727125741672008-09-11T22:41:00.000-04:002008-09-11T22:41:00.000-04:00Wolf:http://agmk.blogspot.com/2008/09/perfect-husb...Wolf:<BR/><BR/>http://agmk.blogspot.com/2008/09/perfect-husbandfather-and-dealing-with.html<BR/><BR/>שבת שלום<BR/><BR/>ANON:<BR/><BR/>"Of course Failed Messiah picked it up.

Talk about this issue has gone on for years, and nothing has changed. It's like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Yes, in the future, and I hope the near future, a reasoned approach to this problem will have to be implemented. And should our precious children have to wait in abject misery until we finally find a way to get that approach accepted? The snake has bitten you, and more than once, and it is preparing to bite you again. Do you first go to consult an exterminator and put into place a policy that will keep snakes out, or do you stomp on the present snake first and render it harmless and then make sure that no more snakes are going to come for you?ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-62303405255264404152008-09-11T14:24:00.000-04:002008-09-11T14:24:00.000-04:00Of course Failed Messiah picked it up.

Nothing is right anymore.<BR/>yasher koach to Rabbi Twerski for at least TRYING and bringing this issue into the public arena.<BR/>Rabbi Twerski has now become a victim himself. How ironic and how very sad.<BR/>This is what we do to good people, we destroy them. Shame on all the other rabbbis who did not stand by him and defend him.
