If you are chassidish enough not to look in a mirror, then are you chassidish enough not to look at naked shiksas?

dov i love this question

here goes

( hold on to your geshtektzemfleeeeegin)

what does it mean to be chassidish/

what does it mean to be born  chassidish?

what is chassidsh? is it a dress code? a particular taste in greasy food? is it a nusach hatfilla?


is it having a rebbe ?

is it lerning toiras haball shem?

is it not playing organized sports?



as being chassidsh is a way of life

it is in it's ultimate form

i said again in it's ultimate form

a derch to rech perfection in serving hashem on an elevated plane

NOT on a seperated plane
aderabbeh on a plane that takes the seemingly mundane

and elevates every part of the seemingly simple till it reches pure avodas hashem



noew this is a tuff call

and it is a lifes work

therefore

therefore

chassidus

and especially in america

has become extermely institutionilized

no i didnt say commercialized

i said it became institutionalized and systemized

meaning it is a system from cradle to grave

yes it is somewhat spoonfed
for better or worse

( i am not one to debate the merits or demerits of the system)

chassidus in america
depends heavily on education

where a boy or girl goes into a "syetm"

and systems usually work


one of the hallmarks of chassidus is it's search for kedush

living elevated

now of course

it is impossible

to teach young childeren the dangers of the "gass" without exposing them

therefore in most (not all) chassidusen they choose to train childeren that the outside world is

is trayf and not thier issue

whn a child id taught for example

not to look in the mirror he is being rocketed to an extermely high plane

but the hope is that we have covered our base

some times the bases were nver covered

or sometimes the individual naturally is curious to seek out what is being hidden from him albeit for his own good

and at the epoint where he or she has discovered the poisen

boom a he wants it

b he is too ashamed to talk about it

that doesn't mean the syten soesn't work

it means it didnt work for him




i can talk for 3 days starigfht on this topic
