Now, from a chassidish woman like me, what can you expect? Full sentences if I can make is a kuntz.
But a critical thinker like you, Marina, nothing less than perfection we expect from.

That's how those SAT ratios works? I forget.
But I can't say for sure, not having read Deen's book
Ah, everyone beat me to it.
What kind of law do you practice again?

I'd say this is more Yoda than chassidish.

Who is this Yoda you compare me to? Is that a nickname for Yehuda? The chassidish version would be Yeeda, I think...

That is definitely NOT a chassidish yarmulka.
I don't think Yoda's parents will be speaking to him anymore.

I should have clarified that all I mean to say is that difficulties endured by those who don't want to conform in the Chassidishe culture are nowhere near that of the difficulties endured by those who don't conform to whatever other secular or liberal culture they grew up in.
As marina said, the consequences of non-conformity and leaving are much greater than anywhere else, such as kids being kicked out of school and parents disowning and losing relationships with children. I assume that is something you don't know about other than reading in memoirs. As I said earlier in the thread, a friend of mine's father is not talking to her husband because he stopped wearing veise zocken. Can you say that's comparable to any secular culture you know about? Will a WASP mother stop speaking to her daughter if she starts to dress like a hippie? Is that totally normal or am I the ignorant one here? |
Yes, in the Amish world they cut off contact with children who choose a different path.
You're giving an example of one family having a problem with veise zuckin, most parents are not like that. Also, are you talking specifically about Satmer?

This is getting old... Yes, I know chasidic families (including Satmar) who have a kid who left the fold (some completely some less) and tho they're probably less close than siblings, they are tolerated, often quite warmly. Sometimes 1 parent more than the other. Personally, I don't know of anyone who has cut off ties, although that's possible. I think it depends on the persons nature. Nobody thinks viesa zoken is toras moshe, but a person with a difficult nature might make a big deal of this, as well as anything. So sorry about your friend, Maya. Her parents need therapy.

Ironic how the OTDers cant win. They're either too angry or not angry enough...
We were recently discussing the idea here that change will come from within, from people who develop a nuanced worldview but do not reject the life.
Deen is wise to stay out of it...

Interesting, because he has a million reasons why the chasidim should not be angry at the rebels, but he wants that craziness from his own? Calling a jihad, or what? Never mind, I'm going to sleep. Its like this site is the place of no return..

Ftr, the Satmar rebbe was actually quite supportive of critical thought and making your own decisions. Was often quoted that people must think for themselves, a rebbe has too much power to mess people up... And wasnt impressed by exteriors. Quotes include burd, vee is dein Yid? If a rebbe eats chazer.. Don't remember exact words...

One reason y he was against the agudah. Too much power for 1 person, then everyone has to follow.

I can't help you with the chaser quote but re the burd quote, there's a famous story involving Mike Tress, zt"l. A chosid asked the Rebbe how he could give Mr. Tress such kavod as he didn't have a beard and the Rebbe said, "When Mr. Tress reaches 120, he will be asked, Jew, Jew, where's your beard? But some people will be asked [maybe the Rebbe said, you will be asked, I don't know], Beard, beard, where is your Jew?"
