    WHO is out there for those love-starved jewish daughters being taken advantage of by disturbed youth schmoozers VDAL

    if we dont help them they end up multiplying their problems by degrading themselves on the streets, ending up with years of further pain & regrets R”L

  • our fellow Jews

    Col hacavod Aliyah!
    Crown Heights.info- I don’t think they should be referred to as “troubled” youth. They are Jews, they are our sons. Keep their image positive. Alot of people are troubled, it’s no one’s business to call them that.

    and these kids become very deep and meaningful after going through their struggles and seeing how people like this care to help them through.

  • Aliyah is #1 -girls are also important!

    ty to Chinfo for bringing the issue to the forefront!

    now what about our troubled daughters??

    folks: remember the tznius crises is just a symptom of young women in desperate need of self esteem & proper help!

    we need an equivalent org to help the growing number of Girls who clearly are begging for attention! bec they are NOT getting it the right way!

  • VDAL explained

    VEDAL = Vedai LaMeivin

    its meant to be understood ONLY by those who are “Understand” on the inside & informed on the subject matter being discussed,

    its also meant to keep the outsiders & uninformed out of the disturbing info!

  • Not enough for Women

    i am a women who participates in a weekly class for women, organised by Rabbi Feiglin

    all are accepted!

  • selling the kids short

    It’s great the kids are getting jobs. But these kids really have potential and should be setting their sights higher than jobs listed.

  • advice for prevention

    gr8 work by aliya

    we need more parents to ask aliya what they can do preventativly while the boys are still younger

    such as Fathers spend lots of 1 on 1 time with your sons & daughters!
