http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/28/business/helping-fliers-avoid-change-fees-for-a-modest-fee.html?_r=0

"A traveler pays a nonrefundable fee to Flyr or Options Away, which holds an airfare for the specified time but does not actually purchase a ticket until the traveler’s plans are completed. If a flight appears at risk of selling out during the option period, Flyr says it will work with the client to find similar itineraries, while Options Away says it monitors flights actively enough to avoid those risks (and will not offer holds on flights that appear most in danger of selling out)."

not sure what the big deal is. Wouldn't every Shaliach and Shlucha in hundreds of cities deal with the same things?

Bizarre.  Why would she make up lies to make orthodoxy look bad when she claims she loves the faith. .. one example she use to sit in the back with the divorced and converts... really? Anyone ever been in a shul like that?

I read that to mean that the more timid and shy people stayed towards the back. What other lies?

Really? So we need to darshan? Either way it gives off a certain impression the author is purposefully creating....
Same here

ike the other serious students, I met with religious teachers regularly to discuss my spiritual improvement. My friends and I never dared to utter a word of gossip; a stray mocking word would be treated with shocked looks. Sabbath afternoons were devoted to lounging on sofas and learning holy books

Rumors said that my writing was being handed out in Orthodox girls’ seminaries in Israel; teachers decided to use me as a warning to their students.

yes, in certain Israel seminaries, they explain that any non-kitchen, out-of-house employment or leadership/public positions are not for ladies.

I Didn't say anything to the contrary... I was questioning the truth of their being such a rumor

Someone put up the popcorn just in case

And right after his much-shared FB post of "Divine Laws about Women's clothing."  He's like the Donald Trump of the frum velt; knowing exactly what to say to get attention.
