And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end (Ecclesiastes 12:12) A pdf version of this essay can be downloaded here [*] Years in brackets refer to an individual’s or book author’s year of birth Thought experiment for the day: Anyone born 1945 would be pushing towards 80 and mostly past their prime. So name any Charedi sefer written by someone born post war that has or is likely to enter the canon, be it haloche, lomdus, al hatorah or mussar. Single one will do for now — IfYouTickleUs (@ifyoutickleus) July 27, 2022 A tweet in the summer which gained some traction asked for a book by an author born from 1945 onwards that has entered the Torah and rabbinic canon or is heading in that direction. I didn't exactly phrase it this way and some quibbled about 'canonisation'. The word does indeed have a precise meaning though in its popular use it has no narrow definition.

Yesodey Hatorah Application Pack - Year Beginning Sep 2015
This website is proud to present for the 2nd year running a tri-lingual Information Pack which includes a step-by-step guide and FAQs on applying for admission to Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School.
For once I should and will shut up about my pet peeve. I wouldn’t really be doing my cause a favour if I slagged off the school while trying to promote it. So for today I will do no more than remind you that this is a school that has recently been judged by Ofsted to be Good and which comes after a rating of Outstanding that lasted for over 8 years.
If you have decided that this is the school you want for your daughter then follow the instructions and she should be offered a place. Don’t believe whatever you’re told about getting your child in and don’t be deterred by whatever obstacles are put in your way.
The School has 80 places to offer and year after year is heavily undersubscribed. So if you are frum and live in the Stamford Hill area and you want your daughter to attend Yesodey Hatorah then you should almost certainly be able to get her in. It is your right and so long that you go about it correctly you will find that despite their formidable appearance those gates are actually scaled quite easily.
The deadline is very soon, 31 October, so don’t delay and get your application in at once.
Best of Luck!
A lot for particulars are given about women's clothing such as length of skirts, necklines, sheitel length which is fine for my wife. Almost no particulars are given about men's clothes other than wearing a hat and jacket for shul. Frankly I feel a little lost without a school telling me what I can and cannot wear in more detail and fear that I may be forced to choose my own clothing for myself.
ReplyDeleteI think tickle is right.
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the procedures properly and ignore phone calls from pinter and co. All correspondence in writing!
You will get in, if not contact the hackney council schools officer, again only in writing,

Seems they have a women's clothes fetish.
ReplyDeleteAnd a passion for new "modern" issurim which are not mentioned at all in Chazal.
Real foundations of Yiddishkeit such as honesty in dinei mommonois or duty to support ones wife and kids and much more not mentioned at all.
Has UOHC got a new religion similar to but not really Jewish?
Not similar by any stretch of the imagination, but newer and more destructive than the reform movement.
DeleteYou don't have to be frum. If they're undersubscribed, they have to accept ALL applications - whether Jewish or not.
