Comment on When Holocaust “Role Plays” Go Wrong (i.e. Always) by Strixx

Oh my gosh!! I feel so good that I wasn’t the only one. Except, we had the Holocaust game in our middle school. No one seems to believe that ANY teachers would be stupid enough to do this. But it happens. And when you tell 8th graders they are allowed to torture each other, it’s a recipe for disaster.
I was on the “oppressed” side, so our team lead some revolts that involved secretly putting nasty notes on the “Superior” backpacks and then pinning it on a popular kid who used to make fun of us so we could watch him be publicly executed. You would think they would learn from Zimbardo

i think the old adage ‘those who live by the sword die by it’ is all inclusive, regardless of flag, religion, race, creed or color. and, i think this has been proven. i hope for peace, love and understanding, i hope we can remember the golden rule, even through the toughest of times. what else is there ?

It seems that both students and educators find it difficult to learn from the past. This same stupid experiment was carried out in the 2008 german movie Die Welle (The Wave), which in turn was based on a book of the same title, which was based on the social experiment carried out at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, California, during the first week of April 1967. The same result was seen when the original teacher lost control of the experiment and the students.

“Standing Silent” an import documentary about child molestation in the Orthodox community in Baltimore is screening tomorrow (5/22/12) at The JCC in Manhattan. It brings up issues similar to those exposed in the Times’ article and follows a journalist’s efforts to expose the perpetrators.

Comment on Former B&H Employee Weighs in on Discrimination Lawsuits by Ben Sorer Moreh

I generally don’t like the idea of “discrimination”. And as a former member of the Orthodox community, I’ve seen bad behavior and bad attitudes. Yet, I have problems faulting a business like B and H for favoring “its own”. Why? Drop by most any other retail shop in the metro area. You’ll see few Orthodox Jews. Retail’s biggest day is Saturday…Shabbat. The few places where you can observe Shabbat and work in retail is in a Shomer Shabbat shop, like B and H. Corporate life, with an expectation of 24/7 availability, is no picnic either. If B and H hires on a non-discriminatory basis, thus reducing the number of opportunities for Shomrei Shabbat, will new opportunities open up for them in other establishments?
