  1. It’s very nice what Chai is offering but there needs to be a mass kinus hisorerus and have gedolei yisroel give us some insight and spiritual advice how to effectively deal with these rash of tragedies and offer practical guidelines for yidden to better themselves in different areas

    I think frum blogs and comments on frum websites should be disabled. The amount of loshon hora on a daily basis spewed on these forums is mind boggling.
    Matzav, care to be the trail blazer in this? I know this is your parnassah but I’m sure hashem will find you a more Halachically accepted way of making money

    • “The amount of loshon hora on a daily basis spewed on these forums is mind boggling.”

      You were just oiver LASHON HORAH! How dare you make such a disparaging remark about Kllal Yisroel?!
      How would you even know such a thing?
      You have an eyen rah.

  2. I had a rosh yeshiva, Rav Shaul Brus, and back in those days it was the same as today and terrible tragedies would happen during this time of year. Rav Brus would say that the reason tragedies are so much more prone to happen during this period of the year is because it is bein hazmanim and torah is not being learned in yeshivohs and so klal yisroel doesn’t have the shmira the torah provides during this time period.

  3. If that ls the case, why is there bain hazmanim? Why do schools and yeshivos take off 2 and a half months in the summer?
