Chassidim ain mishpocha!
I feel compelled to respond as I am overwhelmed by the love and warmth with which my plea was received.
I read every single comment, and all I can say from the bottom of my heart is thank you!
It was an incredibly positive experience to hear the different opinions and advice. I have a long journey ahead and it won’t be easy, but seeing the support that’s out there is truly comforting.
To my fellow teenagers:
What this experience has taught us is how important it is to be open about how you feel and what your frustrations are. We have the right to complain and to demand more from our educators and role models.
Yes, there will always be those people who just don’t get it and are guilty of the above mentioned. But as I have been shown here there are enough that aren’t and we will work with those people.
In addition, being that we are going to be adults one day we can see how important it is that we mould ourselves as wholesome, unegoistic , humble people so our children should not have the same criticism against us.
I apologize to anyone who took offence by what I said.
Ps. I think an online fabrengen is an amazing idea!
COLlive note: We decided to publish this comment although we have no way of confirming if the writer is indeed the same Chaya who wrote the original article, as it was sent through our Redmail Update Form without any contact info.
do people know chaya personally? how old is she? i hope that everything is ok with her?
HI there im chayas sister! and YES she is chassidush and davens every day!!!!so if u need more info “Just comment”
Who is Chaya? what does she do? Why does everyone luv her? Is she weird? Is she nerdy? is she nice? Is she to chassidush? Does she act Tzniusdick? LOL.
I know Mrs Rochi Shemtov; if she saw her name being faked here she would protest in a moment as would her many relatives who use the Net (for good things).
I the Rochi post a real one? I’m getting confused from this whoele story!!! Is this all real or everyone trying to teach lessons by faking who they are???
When?
Where?
Ages?
Mechitzah (for boys)?
I think both of your posts were spot on pretty brave of you to post it and stuff maybe i will follow suit with some things i need cleared up
u can use our apt for the farby: 646 461 7748 i was hc in teen camp and on shlichus now myself-would love to host! Rochi, you want to arrange? We need girls to want to join.
Chaya,
My wife, Rochi, is presently in NY and would gladly accept an invitation to farbreng with a group of your friends in Crown Heights over Shabbos.
Don’t miss the opportunity.

“Shlichus became the spinal cord of the Chabad lubavitch Chassidus especially in our generation.”
What happens when “reality” is discovered, that approx two hundred young couples are waiting for a shlichus and simply can’t find anything appropriate?
(yes, I know that if you are willing to go “anywhere”, there are places like Antartica – an entire continent, that needs a Head Shaliach… for the penguins)
A person without a spinal cord is paralyzed c”v, so if shlichus is our spinal cord….
the first chaya obviously had hers edited before submitting it, the second and the same chaya just wrote a comment without passing it through for ten people’s edits and additions first.
Shlichus became the spinal cord of the Chabad lubavitch Chassidus especially in our generation.
the question is now.
how do we respond to the fact that many Chassdim of all ages are now effected by the secular world in an ever increasing measure.
Our values are being challenged by what we see on main street.
There is more people going to colleges and universities, the dress code is under threat etc etc
Are we becoming a modern orthodox Chassidic movement

Is this supposed to make teenagers or young adults stop and think “oh, maybe this is my problem” or is it to get the adults to realize they could be doing better. Either way, this is OBVIOUSLY not a teenage girl, and I think “Chaya” is deceiving everyone to accept his/her view point. I think this it totally unprofessional and wrong for anyone to do. If someone has something to say, say it directly from yourself. Again – What you are saying could be all 100% correct, and I think farbrengens would do a lot of good in the community,… Read more »
Ps. I think an online fabrengen is an amazing idea!
the point of a Farbrengen is to be together so how about making a Farbrengen offline together with people and sharing true feelings instead of just sitting online and hiding behind a computer.
“Yes, there will always be those people who just don’t get it” apparently you can’t understand them, yet you are criticizing them for not understanding you, isn’t that paradoxical? and besides, “Eizehu Chochom Halomed Mikol Adam” if you are smart you will learn from every person and not let the not good parts of them let you think that it has spoiled the good parts of them, doesn’t every person hasve something to improve? even to a degree where someone acts differently then what they supposedly believe in, because the fact that they act differently doesn’t prove they don’t believe… Read more »
let’s have an online farbrengen
we wish you the best.. may you grow up to give your parents and the rebbe nachas and merit to see the guela..
