GEVALD !!!
What is happening to our generation. Commiting crimes was not part of Yeshiva style fun when I was a Bochur.
yea it was just people didnt call the cops because we had jewish values then now we are the same as all the other american minorites except we are loude and think we are the moral banner still
well look at the good side they were let out on bail while three boys are in jail in japan and they didnt do enything
These boys were going to spend some time today quietly listening to the latest CDs. But according to Rabbi Luft(gesheft!) that is now assur. Hey, this is assur… g’neiva is assur…
we might as well have fun if we’re doing assur!
Way to go Luft!! Look at what you’re starting!!
Why would they want to steal those Sfuram?
Now that’s what I call a Matmid…
I’m sure they had some complicated Reb Chaim and were looking for answers…
nebech was it antiqu seforim
stealin sefarim? who is going to buy ? something is missing
A lot is is missing…
Bored bochrim wanting to check out a shul – yes they should not have – but who is pressing charges?!! Why??
THE SHUL IS OUT OF SERVICE ACCEPT THE HIGH HOLY DAYS …………..THEY HAD SOME GOOD ALTE SFORIM
They weren’t looking for Sforim – they were looking for Shnaps – liquor is quicker. btw, they did find it. very sad commentary. Shabbat Shalom
they were looking for “tzveeble kigel”
EWhat are boys from New Square doing stealing Seforim from a shul?
What are boys from New Square doing stealing Seforim from a shul?
Seforim in a shul are meant for use and not display. There is no way they can realistically be charged with theft. What happened here is obviously related to the fight that the traditional jews of the area are having with the Yeshiva.
It’s much better to steal from an old, not so Orthodox shul, than to Gd forbid go to a concert where there are Jewish boys and girls.
At least they didn’t take down any girls’ phone numbers! Whew!
Now we know they good innocent boys following the derech of the Gedolim.
Just checking for Chametz.
It was leil shishi hasmoda…
Maybe they were borrowing the s’forim without permission?
Some communities have drugs and drive by shootings, and some communities steal seforim.
The were bocher hara bimiyuto.
That’s why a Bochur is called ‘Bochur’, to at least be ‘Bocher’ Hara B’miyuto!
