As a recent graduate of a mainstream Bais Yaakov school in Lakewood, I find myself in a unique position to address a specific aspect of the pressing issue of the shidduch crisis within our community. While I do not have any brilliant solutions to the crisis, I have two suggestions for changes in how we […]

In my role as a therapist for adolescents and young adults, I’ve observed a growing trend that concerns me deeply: the embrace of overly affectionate, “lovey-dovey” therapeutic practices. This approach is inadvertently harming the very individuals it seeks to protect. The rise in depression and anxiety among our youth is alarming, a phenomenon supported by […]

Thank you for raising awareness about the important issue of reviews. If one looks online and sees the reviews written on our locally owned businesses, some of them are extremely biting and can really harm the frum owners’ parnassah. One negative review written in frustration can totally negate a whole bunch of positive reviews in […]

I would like to raise awareness about an important issue that warrants more attention from us.
