AFTER THE ASSIFA

I HAVE NEVER READ SUCH A BRILLIANT ARTICLE IN THE " HERE AND THERE"
OF THE JEWISH TRIBUNE 6 SEPTEMBER 2012.

JOE WRITES:
NOW THAT IT IS ALL OVER , BAR THE SHOUTING,LET US HONESTLY CONSIDER
WHETHER THE PROBLEM OF THOSE WHO
" STRAY FROM THE PATH "
HAS BEEN FULLY ERADICATED BY THROWING THE INTERNET ON THE GARBAGE HEAP.

FIRSTLY, LET US RECOGNISE THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM
OF THOSE WHO DIGRESS, EXISTED LONG BEFORE THE INTERNET
AND EVEN NOW,IT WOULD BE SHORT-SIGHTED TO ASSUME
THAT EVERY REBELLING AGAINST THE LIFESTYLE OF EHRLICHER PARENTS
IS DUE TO THE INTERNET.

WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES:
HAVE THE PARENTS GOT THE RIGHT PERSONAL CONTACT WITH EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN  ? ?
FATHER AND MOTHER, WHEN HAVE YOU HAD A CASUAL CHIT CHAT WITH YOUR CHILDREN
HOW DO YOU PARENTS FASHION THEIR LIFE TOGETHER " SHREIEREI " AND ARGUMENTS
WHICH WILL MAKE CHILDREN HAVE A BAD EXPERIENCE AND ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOME.
DO THE CHILDREN FEEL WANTED AND NOT A BURDEN ON THE PARENTS ? ? ?

IT IS A PITY THAT THIS WEEK'S ASSIFA AND GEDOLEI YISROEL DID NOT
CONCENTRATE ON THESE POINTS ! !
ON THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN KEEPING ONE'S CHILDREN WITHIN THE TORAH
FRAMEWORK, IS TO SHOW THEM LOVE ! ! AND WARMTH AS WELL AS
UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR INNER PROBLEMS.
