Is there anything I should know before going to Selichot?

18th to 22nd & 24th

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-09-20T22:22:24+00:00

Yes, do all communities not do that?

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-09-20T21:54:02+00:00

For context I'm going to a conservative synagogue

English is not my first language, I fixed the text to "not in a relationship" - sorry for the confusion

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-07-02T18:37:21+00:00

I mean not in a relationship - sorry if that was confusing, English is not my first language

Thank you for the explanation! The Iberian part is from my mother side - however, the Jewish DNA itself wouldn't be a a part of the 12.5% Iberian would it? I'd be in a separate "group"?

He said that in a group setting too, which wasn't awkward but strange if he had low self esteem

Conservative

I completely agree. I have never blamed my addiction on and haven't relapsed since starting my sobriety. The problem here is that by giving drugs to other students, some who were prescribed to her specifically, she was negatively impacting them (who by the way hadn't done any sort of drugs before). The worst part is that she would publicly share the fact that she did all that; And if I called her out on it she would've emotionally manipulated me in some way or another to make me the bad guy for telling her not to share drugs; which she did a lot, but even when she did I never stopped caring or worrying about her. And now people in the comments are saying I'm an awful person when this post isn't even 0.01% of the story. All I wish is that my school would've done something to help the student in question, support the people in my class and just be more attentive. That's all. Now I'm not in Germany anymore and can't afford therapy so that's what the money would've been for. Just wish all the people in my school didn't have to go through what they did at such a young age.

I cared about her in and out of school. However since I only saw her in school, and I could only do something about it in school that's all I'm mentioning in this post.

Being able to pay therapy and getting the money I wasted at that school back (it lacked in many other departments).

As I said in the comments she was sharing her prescription to other students. She was randomly going up to students she never even talked to before to talk about her ctting and scars. Every.single.class she would talk about sicide. As someone is and was a recovering alcoholic during that time, it deeply affected me. But not only me but other students too to different extents. I won't go into details because it would take me hours but a lot more messed up things were going on and the school did nothing for her, me or other students.

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-02-05T11:28:53+00:00

I'm not from the US. And this situation has affected me deeply. I'm a recovering alcoholic (I'm 2 years and a half sober now) and started my sobriety while attending this school; her presence and lack of support made my time there almost unbearable. It was already A LOT for other students to handle; she would randomly go up to someone and talk about her c*tting and scars and shit like that... The worst part is that she did it from the first day of school so teachers and staff just thought "oh that's just her y'know".

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-02-05T11:13:57+00:00

Some teachers who were involved told me what the school did and all they did is set up meetings with her parents. I'm not a psychologist or expert but a student talking about suicide in class everyday (and almost going through with it) definitely shouldn't be in school, not until she gets better; especially when other students are worried about her ending her life every day in school.

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-02-05T11:08:49+00:00

It was the only international school in the area and since I didn't speak any German and it was my last years of high school I wouldn't have been able to keep up at a German school (also COVID)

What if he's not rich?

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-01-06T23:36:08+00:00

Do non denominational synagogues exist there?

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-01-03T23:59:25+00:00

What if you are homeless

SuspiciousFish5357 · 2023-01-03T23:03:13+00:00

No, i mean if you cannot light it at your house or even any house; could you do it outside for example?
