Being frum is not about compartmentalization. Its a way of life. I think that often people forget this . Hence the recent ponzi schemes perpetrated by frum Jews. Yes, I will call them frum Jews. They probably are very makpid on kemach yoshon and would never consider relying on the Flatbush eruv. They just are able to compartmentalize their frumkeit into one basket and their business mores into a different basket.
Rosh Hashanah is upon us. It is a time to reflect and resolve to do better next year. Of course those who really need to be listening to this are not reading blogs, but I will continue anyway. It is time to be careful in business . I have seen too many very frum looking people trying to take advantage of weaker trusting people in business. It makes me sick. Frum people are not the only ones who do this, but that is not justification. If people paid more attention to being honest in business than in the measurements of women's clothing we would be living in a better world. Maybe then mashiach would come.

I hate to say this but there is something fundamentally wrong with a religion that measures piety by the length of a woman's skirt and not by the honesty of one's business dealings.
In the end, for all we criticize the Reformatives we also pick and choose what we observe.
Have a safe, healthy and meaningful holiday.
