1. Thats a business that has made its place of business available for meetings, which supplements and brings new business all the time.
2. Its still in an out of the way location. Go there when meetings are held. Its downright frightening. Deserted industrial area.
3. In over a decade there is one you point to and a few others that i am aware of that you have not mentioned. By and large the concept of a "kosher meeting" (i suppose you mean non-church location) cannot happen within our community because of the stigmas spoken about upthread.
So when you can hold a meeting in one of the classrooms in Bobov or Satmar or Belz in Boro Park like the meetings that are held in certain non-orthodox establishments elsewhere in the city then i will say it can happen.
Exactly. This is where the education and prevention classes are needed, in addition to treatment classes.
We've had local Jewish AA meetings in a local Orthodox shul here, and possibly saved dozens of lives. Parenting classes may help, as well.
Camp XTreme has saved lives, Kosher rehabs in CA have saved lives.
Will it take a child of a "Bobov or Satmar or Belz in Boro Park" gezhe to ch'v get sick and/or pass away until they finally make local, Jewish classes?!?!?
And if so, then does this mean that
their child is of greater value than the others who have already become victims?!?!?
And if so, then
is this what it means to be a Jewish leader? To not address other members of the same community?
And to not address an epidemic that is certain to increase until preventions and treatments are as mainstream and non-stigmatic as an ace bandage or a cast/crutches for those who are injured?
