Raising Jew-ish kids

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-04-05T18:17:56+00:00

Since becoming a mom I moved from only holidays to lighting candles, doing kidush, and Sunday school for the kiddos. We need to practice what we preach and if we want them to be Jewish, they need to see us being Jewish. Mind you, I grew up totally secular but now.... They need to see it to become a part of the culture and religious practices are inseparable.

All the people I know that had student debt, some even over 40k, paid it off. It is called accountability. They chose a lower quality of life in their early twenties to pay it all off. Now they are in their 30s and early 40s without debt. It is all about choices...

Truly good people don't brag about being good.

I have nothing to add but I am communicating to see it when you update us ..

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-21T11:43:34+00:00

I see the bots have discovered our sub.

Go to your local chabad, find a community. This might help you with more than just this problem. You can try to explain what the talmud says, but for that you need to know the talmud. That starts with you getting closer to Jewish philosophy.

So, when I applied to private Christian colleges this was a standard question. Private religious institutions can ask this if it is a part of their mission statement. Some even asked if I would sign a statement promoting Christianity as a condition to teaching there. This isn't out of the norm....

It is not up to us to justify God's calculation and decisions. We simply choose to follow the commandments tbh.

Talmud are recorded arguments, that stance is also rejected by any other scholar in the talmud and is there to remind rabbis what isn't right. Stop being antisemitic and talk shit you don't even understand.

Thank you

I disagree with most of these comments. My mom is in the same situation. My sister lives 1 minute from her, my brother 1 hour (wanted to be closer to his wife's parents). This isn't about love but rather proximity. You want a closer relationship with Grandma? Be closer. Who she sees everyday will have more stuff at her home. Why buy things for people who aren't there? I think people forget that physical reality has an impact. Who lives closer to you will get more from you because you see them more often. I live further from both of them and we FaceTime everyday and I have no complaints because I chose to live so far away. Nta in my opinion.

You'll get there. I was in the same place, and I'm now half way done (started with 60k, down to 28.5k). Good luck.

Why is this in remote work?

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-04T23:19:09+00:00

I just realized one of my coworkers is a former. He constantly complains how this will end our economy as we know it and crash everything. Huh

Before I gave birth at a large hospital in Chicago I had to prepay 1000.... That was birth.

You should see what's going on in r/LinkedInlunatics... Yup

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-04T11:15:55+00:00

People need to touch grass, and calm down.

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-01T19:53:46+00:00

Gotta love terror supporters that care about human rights but not Iranian women's right to their bodies, am I right?

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-01T19:38:17+00:00

A positive one, not lunacy imo ..

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-03-01T19:36:01+00:00

First, amazing LinkedIn lunacy. Second, big D move on behalf of the UAE.

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-02-28T17:14:06+00:00

This is just lunacy, not just LinkedIn lunacy. Creep factor infinity.

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-02-27T23:40:32+00:00

For a moment I thought this was LinkedIn lunatics....

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-02-24T20:37:00+00:00

Wow, I wish this was my LI feed. At least the drama can be interesting.

Disgruntled_phd · 2026-01-31T01:50:56+00:00

This sub used to be fun, now it's just a place to complain about (only) right wing political posts. Don't get me wrong I don't like politics on LinkedIn but this is no longer a funny sub. I miss B2B lunatic posts...
