START A BLOG?
[Thank you anonymous for today's post. Please comment on any topic - we may use your comment for tomorrow's post - KollelVeib]
You don't need permission to move to Lakewood. You just have to realize who was there first. I wouldn't move to a community whose school system I don't like, and if you don't like Lakewood, either(1)stay away, (2)start your own school first, (3)put up and don't complain.
Tragically many seem to take NON-option(4): Start a blog full of rechilus,letzonis,machlokes,and am haartzus.

DON'T LIE
[Thank you LadyL for today's post. To all readers - comment on or off topic and your comment may be tomorrow's new post -KollelVeib]
The truth is that all this "I went to look good for myself" thing is that it is a plain lie. Woman schlep around all day in their house in a snood, and they seem to feel fine with themselves (and with their husbands seeing them that way). The minute they go out to the Freehold mall or some other such important place, the sheitel goes on "Not chas veshalom to look good for anyone else; it's for me to feel good about myself." Rrrriiiiiigghhhht.
And then of course when they get back home and it's "only" their husband around, you guessed it - the wig comes off and the snood goes back on.
Do what you want, but c'mon, don't lie to yourself as to why you are doing it.

DEYA ZUGER : "NO MAKEUP"
[Thank you Deya Zuger for today's post. To all readers - comment on any topic; your comment may become tomorrow's post - KollelVeib]
Judaism specifically teaches that a woman is not allowed to put on make-up outside because men might look.
A little blush, etc. to make her look okay, as in not washed out, is probably fine, ask your local Rabbi, but more than that is probably not permitted ACCORDING TO HALACHA, no chumros in this one.

KIDDUSH HASHEM
[Thank you "ashrei" for today's post. To all readers: Please post your comments on any topic - your comment may be tomorrow's post - KollelVeib]
It is beautiful to see the Kiddush HaShem engendered by the APP article linked below. This Bachur a"h was Zoche to make a true Kiddush HaShem.
In our Oilem Hafuch the biggest Mechallilei Shem Shamayim BeFarhesya are convinced that they are making a Kiddush HaShem. The reality is that a Kiddush HaShem is when people, Jew and/or non-Jews, look at an individual and say "Ashrei Mi Shegidlo LaTorah - Fortunate is the one who raised this person in the ways of Torah"
When someone's behaviour be he Rebbe, Rosh Yeshiva, or Baal Habos, causes people to say "How disgusting are the ways of the Torah" r"l that is called a Chillul HaShem.
This Bachur a"h was Zoiche to have those who knew him comment "How pleasant are his ways". YeHi Zichro Baruch
