@EylonALevy@RationalSettler I actually think it would be very interesting for people who have only seen meat and poultry shrink wrapped in supermarkets to experience daily animal sacrifices.
I think it might do more for the radical vegans than any of their billboards or protests.
When your house gets hit my a missile everyone thinks that your immediate reaction must be gratitude to God to be alive.
In reality, you just start making a shit list of everyone who hasn't reached out to you to see if you need anything.

@DBashIdeas@Historycourses I realized that I associated "serious" orthodoxy (AKA people who know how to learn) with the yeshiva world and pleasant shabbat divrei torah with modern orthodoxy. I think this happens to a lot of teenagers.
@DBashIdeas@Historycourses I can't really overstate how unusual I found it when Rabbeim from MO/DL yeshivot came to recruit at Skokie. These people could read a tosfos without a velvet kipa. It was shocking to 17 year old me.
@DBashIdeas I was in Gush the year of the Tyree catch. I didn't watch it. It was the first super bowl I ever missed (I wasn't learning). I think it was important as a future israeli sports fan to understand that you're not going to be able to keep sports as a huge priority in your life.
@DBashIdeas Skokie Yeshiva has a plaque for someone named Harry Sex in the beis medrash and let me tell you, when you’re 15 that’s just about the funniest thing you can imagine.
@DBashIdeas@mycr_karenina I think the flaw here is that it really believes there's a world where everyone can thrive in Orthodoxy. There are people who the system doesn't work for, and no amount of education or understanding can really change that. Mourn the fact people don't know what theyre rejecting
