  1. He has hit the nail on the head.

    Precisely because chinuch is so hard, we all try to push off the responsibility to others, and content ourselves with the role of enforcers of boundaries. Parents leave to the chadorim the responsibility for answering their children's basic questions in emunah. Meanwhile the chadorim act as if all such shaylos must have been answered in a proper home, and treat any questions as an act of rebellion, if not an attempt to negatively influence classmates as well. Similarly, if a boy awakens to a question in his high school years that did not bother him before, the reaction is often that all such questions should have been long answered. If instead of receiving answers or direction, the student sees that his question provokes anger and confusion, he may wrongly draw the conclusion that there are no answers.

    In regards to your question - yes! :D

    Sad...so sad.

    I think it's time Ezzie opened up his world to one of the great pieces of modern story telling.

    He could start by googling the contents of my comment.

  6. Maybe if most of what you write in comments wasn't so obscure we wouldn't have this issue!
