Yes, Beis Tefillah is comprised mostly of families who were originally MO/ YU and moved in to the chareidi world. And there are some baalei teshuva that attend as well. However, I can name quite a number of YFB (yeshivish from birth) people who attend Beis Tefillah as well, who are actually involved in my project.<br /><br />2. Although a good number of my women volunteers are from Beis Tefillah and fit the above profile, I have many volunteers who are from outside of Beis Tefillah and who are YFB. Amongst these I have a significant number of volunteers from the Kiryah HaChareidit in BS, and others from other kehillot in RBS such as Pnei Shmuel, the GRA, etc. So Rabbi Slifkin's comment is just not factually correct. I would be happy to list these people off line if anyone is interested.<br /><br />3. My husband did NOT get a law degree from Columbia.

Many BT's are extremely hostile to their former backgrounds. They do this to compensate for not being FFB, like "being more German than the Germans". That these women still connect to their former lives and see them as worth associating with is remarkable too.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11287959.post-34244385568862938602014-08-11T15:24:37.943+03:002014-08-11T15:24:37.943+03:00Garnel,

This didn't stop the Chareidi papers from claiming him as their own "Gadol".Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11287959.post-2615720803147554962014-08-10T20:00:44.777+03:002014-08-10T20:00:44.777+03:00I am fully Chareidi through and through and I agre...I am fully Chareidi through and through and I agree with this post. Chareidi women cannot and should not be able to choose any profession and Chareidim generally do not and should not support Zionist endeavors.<br /><br />And Chareidim who don't like the above shouldn't pretend this is not so.

When Rosenblum talks about Mrs. Isaacson enlisting her "charedi" friends, these are members of Beis Tefillah, and they all grew up in Zionist homes.Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07903561261083292772noreply@blogger.com
