While stereotyping is not fair, there is not denying that honesty in business/cheating is an issue in the Charedi world.blukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774763780910614203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11287959.post-75962917874947985522012-07-09T08:39:46.318+03:002012-07-09T08:39:46.318+03:00The charedi/hamodia culture places the yeshiva boc...The charedi/hamodia culture places the yeshiva bochur on such a pedestal that they see the crime as being that he can't ride for free in the first place! They get so many hand outs, they expect everything to be free for them, this is the problem that is the epitome of their culture these days.SF2K01https://www.blogger.com/profile/05065339128507952991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11287959.post-21787863489471527152012-07-08T18:20:51.174+03:002012-07-08T18:20:51.174+03:00Way, way back when I first started med school I to...Way, way back when I first started med school I took a trip by bus up to the Jewish section in town to peruse the seforim stores for books on medical halacha. As I stood on the bus a young yeshiva bochur got on and as the bus pulled away from the stop he patted on his pockets and then told the driver he was sorry but he had no tokens or money. So the driver told him he had to get off at the next stop. <br />Being a naive fool in those days (I'm not so naive anymore, the other term still applies) I stepped forward and gave one of my extra tokens to the driver. To help another Yid out, right?<br />A few minutes later the boy came over and handed me a token (!!) saying that he just wanted to take the bus for one stop and this is how he does it.<br />I was stunned. I even asked "Gezeliah is permitted in your yeshivah?" And he looked at me condescendingly: "Not from other Jews, jsut goyim!"Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11287959.post-38909403543108119602012-07-08T11:26:48.000+03:002012-07-08T11:26:48.000+03:00Why don't you write a letter to them?Why don't you write a letter to them?Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07903561261083292772noreply@blogger.com
