i always believed that if Gd is such a big believer is free will who are we (or our government) to compel others to do the right thing religiously...and of course, uri, we are all here when you get back and not only to lend support but even to only exchange some laughs or just pish away the night...that being said, if i were in israel id go hunt him down on the dolphinariam and then give him a good ole fashioned beat down right there on the boardwalk for worrying us like this...

Okay, this post is my response to everyones "Uri stomach pain". Uri, my email box has overflowed today with worried family.
Here is my opinion guys. Uri, this is not necessarily for you, but I couldnt figure out a better place to post it.

I learned many years ago (and so has anyone in the 'giving' fields) that one must do whatever hishtadlus possible in order to help, and then, STOP.

Uri may fall, or he may hold back last minute. The final choice is his and his alone. His job is to make the correct decision. OUR job is to be there for him afterward, no matter what. We've done what we can, online and off.

Personally, I will have no problem sleeping tonight, no matter what he chooses. I know it sounds cold hearted and uncaring, but believe me, it stems from the exact opposite. If I allow myself to get over involved in the problems of those I love, I will no longer be capable of helping. I will be just as enmeshed in the problem, too subjective to see a way out. Sometimes caring means coming forward and hugging hard. But at other times, it means stepping back, letting go, and allowing someone to make his own mistakes.

Lets daven he finds the strength to withstand this nissayon. And after that, let go, and let G-d.

We love you Uri, and no-one is going to edit that!

(I just did :D... Guard)

I couldn't agree more.

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

By the way, it's called "falling," because as soon as someone, c"v, falls, the y"h says "You FELL for it!"
