Hi,
I write this note in the midst of the Pesach commotion. It is not like I’m done with all the scrubbing, cleaning and arranging – everyone knows there is never a point when it’s really really done.
The thing is that a dilemma in relation to all this has risen and I need to hear another opinion before I act on it.
The boys are back from Yeshiva and my daughters have a break from school too (not including the daughter that is post seminary and is working).
One would expect them to get into the rush of things. Lend a hand, help out, move there, bring here, last minute shopping, you know…
Well not this year.
The boys are doing great – unlike you might have been quick to judge. They already covered and set up our Pesach kitchen and are a major help.
One of them told me that his Chavrusa asked their Mashpia if he should help for Pesach or prepare for Yud Aleph Nissan. The Mashpia answered: Cleaning the house will be a preparation for Yud Aleph Nissan.
But the high school girls however are a different story.
They know what’s going on and can hear everyone hustling and bustling for Pesach outside their rooms, but they won’t budge.
They told my husband that they’re tired from school and the tests and need a break. “We’re home to rest, not to work,” they said.
What do I do?
WE GIRLS HELP AAT LEAASST A BAJJILION TIMES MORE THAN THE BOYS
speak to the schools.
and so many comments
i am # 107 raed my comment and the tell me if you are right.
oh better yet dont spend time online but GO HELP FOR PESACH!!!!!!!
Even after the Jews left they had plenty of work to do till proper freedom!
I would like to compliment the Bais Rivka Seminary, the Bais Rivka High School, and the Lubavitch Meisivta of Chicago, the Miami Zal and the Zal in Detroit for being mechanech my children to be the perfect Pesach helpers and cleaners for my home and for Chabad. They do a great job, and always with a smile.
but that didnt stop my hs sister from going to my aunt to help.
Theschool should really cut down on all those tests rihgt b4
pesach.144has a point somtimes boys really do actually help out ………. mazel tov.
WHo patches highschoolers!?!?
pasach is coming so be happy.
everyone thinks different!!!!!!some ppl need the kids help and some people have there cleaning lady doing it.so this lady is saying that she needs lots of help and is not getting it so i suggest you just speak to your kids and NOT WRITE IT ON COLLIVE!
my goodness! Have any of you ever read tanya. There is something called ATZLUS! That is the secret behind it… (not the derech eretz and chutzpah issues some ppl might think). For soem ppl, being active and helping full time is not as easy as for others. Yup, we learn on the go and you don’t ignore it. But please don’t blame anyone for it! Not the schools, not the tests, not the parents and not the daughters.
COL is causing the Shidduch crisis. All I want to say is wether you are a freshman, sophmore, junior, senior, that its all cool, everyone should connect together, in response to #73 patching isn’t a bad thing, all of you Liberal Lubavitchers should go to Bunch of Bagels. Then you should order a whole wheat bagel and shave your beard with a solar powered shaver, after that you should take your Prius and move to San Fransisco. Then if you want you can become a Rabbi, even if you’re a girl! Because everybody is so sexist, like totally! Then you… Read more »
a keli for the children to help their mother prepare for Pesach, will be greatly enhanced if the parents stay calm, no raised voices, a lot of smiling and many hugs
A kosher un Freilichen Pesach
lomir alle praven der Seder mit unser Nosi in Yerushaliyim unsere Heilge Shtot
im the one who wrote #90 and if i had more vacation other than 3 days before pesach, i would totally help my mother more. there are enough boys in the community, both boys learning here and those who came home for pesach 2 weeks ago to go pack matzos
and btw, in school we had 4 free periods in a row! now is THAT a waste of time??????
omg iv never seen so may comment on one thing b4 everyone just STOP!!!!!
DO UR OWN THING AND THATS IT!!!
oh, im sorry- D-O- Y-O-U-W-A-N-T-U-S-T-O-S-P-E-L-L-E-V-E-R-Y-LE-T-T-E-R-R-I-G-H-T-IM NOT SURPRISED IF YOUR A BOY….. I MEAN GIMME A BREAK! WHAT ARE U MAING SUCH A BIG DEAL OUTTA THIS!? WHO ARE WE TRYING TO IMPRESS? EVERYONE KNOW BRHS TEACHES THEIR STUDENTS WELL, BUT WE DONT -H-A-V-E-T-O-S-P-E-L-L-E-V-E-R-Y-L-E-T-T-E-R-R-I-G-H-T WHEN WERE COMMENNTING MY GOODNESS…
heheheheheheheheheh we rock! 🙂
It’s slang when you don’t put an apostrophe when you’re suppose to. It’s a MISTAKE when you add them to words that don’t need them. It’s slang when you shorten words. It’s a MISTAKE when you have extra letters, which basically means you can’t spell.
And what if your not
what if i’m a girl?
im the one who wrote # 15… iDONT LIE, i dunno about u but if its ne one u have to let out all UR anger out its on ur amazing, hard work, torture … yeshiva. not a girl. and yes i would switch places with u. id rather learn gemara then grammar or science!( not)
have an easy break from slavery!
i can telll!
why are you on COL if you dont know english?
למה את בכסל אם את/ה לא יודע/ת אנגלית
wow! your husband does a lot!
what does 31 mean?second girls work dont tell me they dont b/c i m a girl w/ alot a work and ihelp !
for number 45,”So that doesn’t mean its GOOD to slap your child!”
i wonder if the principal reads this??
ALSO EVERYBODYIS MAKING SPELLING MISTAKES!!!
DONT YOUR SCHOOLS TEACH YOU HOW TO WRITE
I have a major question and i hope ull answer me :
why is not slapping ur kids the reason for the shidduch crisis and the failing skewl system?!
ur funny!
Everyone stop arguing if girls or boys learn more! Really, its extremely childish and immature.
I don’t usually comment on comments but I’m making an exception.
You’re parents are lucky to have such a mature and level headed daughter.
Have a wonderful Pesach and maybe afterwards your mother should give parenting classes in CH!
Yasher Koach for doing the right thing.
DONT YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO IN YOUR LIFE INSTEAD OF LYING?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Bochurim learn much more than girls do, JUST so you knowq!!!
LET ME SEE YOU GOING TO YESHIVA AND SEE IF YOULL BE HAVING A EASY TIME OVER THERE, HUH????????
Wow your writing a comment not a composition !!
bechlal im even impressed by ur bad spelling most boys cant even write a line!!
good work and yes u do sound like a boy who helps his mom!
isnt that what pesach is all about?!?! FREEDOM. School is like mitzrayim, they make us work like slaves, then we are finally set free. All us girls are doing is enjoying our freedom. 🙂 its a miracle!
Hi,
Well all i can say is read post #89.
we all know BR is overworking the highschool girls (if you dont know it then either talk to some or go and work there)
But take a look at a girl with her priorities straight and a family who is working together to achieve a goal. A girl who understands how hard her mother works to make eveyrhting perfect for her children.
what is better thant you have less time off so you work harder at home and a noter jew gets matzo for pesach. or you dont help with mivtzayim …..and that yid will NOT have matzo….but you have time to relax?!?!?!?!
mesivta bachur
to #99
umm just btw…. its called slaang like were not gonna spell
every letter right maybe we just want to write quicker,,, or yea,, wtvr… thats way to overboard to post such a comment-no offense
to # 15 we bachurim sit and lern alot more the grils בכלל and we also have מבצעים to do and it is NOT a boy’s job to be in the kichen what, you relly thimk we dont have test’s? you know what you try having a test on 10 דפים with only three day to chazer and then tell me that we dont lern ,work hard, have test’s ‘וכו ? but אם כל זה we still help, claen, work , (and some times cook) even if בדרך כלל we dont belong in the kichen aka ”the grils area” פסח… Read more »
The thing that my mother dose for me, She gives me a bunch of jobs, BUT after an hour has past we dont have to do any more. But you really have to work hard on that hour!
Thats not HIS opinion. The Rebbe has said it time after time.
’15 a high skewl girl u moms dont understand ur daughters, its not chutzpah and by u saying that now ur boys from yeshivah help… well duh they’ve been practically on vacation the entire year doing nothing, why shouldnt they help. on the other ur high skewl girls have been working all year while ur sons are enjoying life. so for all those moms who dont understand ur daughters… GIVE THEM A BREAK! oh and who cares about the bochurim.’ ‘its soooooo true we get a millon test evryday day and when we come home were expected 2 clean while… Read more »
mrs farkash is the best principal i have ever had,, idk if ur a mom or a student but bais chana is the best.. i simply meant that they dont push us to a breaking point, thank goodness.
[clearly unlike bais rivkah]
im a ninth grade brm girl and all we do in skewl is chill cuz they dont give us teachers (not that i mind)
but id rather be helping my mom.
so yeh its not the girls problem its the skewls.
were only off tuesday b4 erev pesach.
so bottom line BRM get some help and all the moms will benefit.
we dont have to pak matzos for shluchim.. mivtzoyim starts at home. that what my mom said and shes rite!!!!
everyonse diffrent
it is a big acharayois on their part. If the girls are indeed helping then excellent, but what if they are doing things that they shouldnt be? It”s a very long time to be off from school if they are not helping out.
What has been posted by the Crown Heights High School girls (and their mothers) is quite terrible. These are not typos. These are really embarrassing mistakes (the word is not ‘alot’ – it’s ‘a lot’). I don’t mean to generalize, so I’m just assuming that every other Bais Rivka girl (hundreds of them) can spell and use grammar correctly.
Who are you trying to blame?
You are the parent, you give or withhold priveledges. That’s how you do it…
And then you have many conversations with your children about what it means to be part of a family.
And you didn’t call the Principal???
wow, your kids really are amazing! for that i think they deserve a shopping spree
stop whining and hire some help
my daughter is always helping!!!!
“bribe them – pizza night out or some cash to buy clothes”
BRIBING HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS DOESN’T WORK! WE’RE PAST THAT STAGE! we respond to rationality and consistency, not cash for clothes and – pizza is the worst idea
“if you clean this part of the house/your room/ the bookshelves you’ll get to go gain all that weight back!”
yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!
you probably don’t have teen kids – and if you do, and they respond to bribery, WOW.
while I was at school teaching my girls surprised me and baked Yummy (Pesach standard) nut cookies. Here’s the recipe (It can be doubled only)
1 egg white beat up When beaten add 1/2 cup sugar till stiff
then add 1 cup ground almonds drop by spoonful onto cookie sheet Bake 20 minutes at 275* can be frozen
Enjoy the cookies and most of all enjoy your kids!
Happy Pesach to all!
In my school we have 2 days before pesach!
in my school, most of my classmates would be willing to help more BUT… we’re not even given a week off before pesach!!!! mothers and daughters were complaining. the school gave us 5 hours during the past week to go help shluchim pack matzos (boys mivtzoim) when we could have been helping our mothers or another women without older children! GET UR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!!
Hey, i’m a brhs girl, a freshie (9th grade) and im sorry to say, im truly embarressed. Not for myself, but for all those brhs girl that dont lift finger. I know you think were supposed to “stick up” for our school and for all our hard work weve done, with tests everyday and hmwk… but seriously GIVE ME A BREAK. I see my mother a whole year, sweating and trying so hard to maintain a special atmosphere for our family. she works hard and i know she always can use an extra hand. Why would i want to sit… Read more »

#1-USE SPELL CHECK!!!
#2-BOYS DO HELP!!!(I’M A BOY)
#3-yOU ARE CRAZY!!!
It’s not sexist. It’s not about cooking and cleaning. Of course girls should receive an education, but when the education supercedes the teaching of the true purpose, that a woman should build and maintain a heilige yiddishe heim with preciuos kinderlach, then the education has lost perspective. This isn’t my opinion. This is explicitly written time after time after time by the Rebbe in Igros after Igros.
but- i understud all of the text…. YAAAY
הוחכה לכך שאני מהארץ: הנה אני יודעת עברית.. חחח
I found that really sexist. Girls aren’t just good for cooking and cleaning and serving the boys. We have a life and education too, plus we help more.
All of u are cuains machlokes nad that is not cool
so please relax give ur mom a hand and everything will be ok

I am a high school student, who ever said that the girlk dont help? The girls help, ALOT MORE THEN THE BOYS!! the boys might be cleaning the fridge, but all year long there working hard. No… they shouldent not do anything but they should still have a break. Mabe tell the people who arent helping that they should help for a hr a day and thats it! if you tell it to them like that they would like to help alot more then if you just gave them job after job!!!
Where is the old fashioned chinuch for girls stressing helping at home ?!? All the girls returning from SEM cannot miss their online shiurim smack in middle of mealtime – Helping at home is #2 nowadays! No problem with the ruchnius gettogethers but after shepping ruchnius all year long can’t the girls come home and help their mother’s ruchnius(re:cleaning for pesach) instead of being occupied with shiurim and attitudes that we as parents cannot bother such holy people with mundane chores… where is the Sem preparation for life?!? Get your act together and pleases think twice chinuch people before the… Read more »
excuse me for saying this but i feel a slight slap to california that u shud move ther to get OUT of hard work..let me tell u this..the high school bais chana of LA is one of the most academic lubavitch schools out there..a well run hard working disciplined school led by a true example mrs farkash who is the epitome of what our school stands for.
I THINK KIDS OF ALL AGES ARE NOT AGAINST HELPING THEIR PARENTS. AFTER ALL THEY LOVE THEM.
WHAT YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE LOOKING FOR IS A LISTENING AND COMPASSIONATE EAR TO THIER ISSUES AND CONCERNS.
LSTEN, AGREE, UNDERSTAND THEM, AND BE COMPASSIONATE.
THEN OFFER THEM TO CHOOSE A DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL AFTER PESSACH WHEN IT WILL BE A REAL REST, AND LET THEM SLEEP THAT DAY.
I AM SURE THEY WILL SENSE YOUR DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND AND COMPROMISE AND WILL HELP YOU THEN.
IT’S WORTH A TRY!

A kosher un freilichen pesach to all
B’h Yes I have read and sympathize with the girls from Beis Rivka I do think the schools should be encouraging helping out at home less tests etc. Ultimatley however we have to start taking some responsibility as teenagers that is the first part of the maturing Process, own up, take action don’t play the blame game. Get rid of this internal chometz this Pesach and get spiritually uplifted because you conquered your urge and helped out another yid (your mother) . This is a test of your Kibud Av veim. So gird yourselfs, pick yourself up and rise to… Read more »
Stop Patching your children and Patch yourself! 😛
What do the girls mean they are tired from tests and need a break? They are not home to study. They are home to help cleaning. And aren’t you, the mother, tired of work and cleaning?? That is all the mother has to say: that she is tired of cleaning. Everyone has to pitch in and help.
thnx for getting me all nervous about high school!!
helping at home is gr8 hachnas for yud alefh nisson
53-I dont know when you were in school, but every year school gets more and more stressing. Sleeping in etc. is not going to work-sorry everyone who suggested that! I am a shlucha and our chabad house is to small to host a seder for 100 people. So, with my 6 oldests away, its me and my 10-year-old girl who is cleaning our house, chabad house, and the place hosting the seder. Please stop complaining about not having help-even in 5th grade my daughter is having a test or project every day before pesach-talk about busy schedules! She really didnt… Read more »
i agree with number 65
I find that very shocking – I teach too, younger than high school, and I made sure to tell my 7th graders a few weeks ago, that until Pesach I will be giving them little or no homework, because I know that they will have to be helping out at home, and I want them to be able to help their mothers!!! And yes, i did assign something also – but I purposely made it due a week after Pesach, so they’ll have time to work on it after Pesach – I made sure to say that I do no… Read more »
Listen to them, and the boys should do the same.
My daughters high school teacher assigned a report for right after pesach. When the girls told their teacher that they have to help and wont have time to do it, she was really shocked. She couldn’t believe that the parents make their daughters help. She told them that their job was to be in school and be busy with school and the mothers shouldn’t ask or expect their help.
In my opinion, this teacher should be fired!!!
one thing is for sure hitting a child is the stupidest thing,and having tests every day could be very stressful.
A girl’s focus absolutely should be on helping around the home and learning the most important thing of all–how to run a good, yiddishe home and all that entails. Instead, while girls’ learning is vital and necessary, it’s become so full of pressure and so many tests and the whole purpose of school has become skewed. Now you’re left with girls who don’t have time or energy to help their mothers, or neighbors. Wake up yidden. Our chinuch system is severely flawed in many ways. Less schoolwork for the girls and more of a focus on learning how to run… Read more »
These girls need a taste of reality. How about them sitting down & understanding from their parents that THEY don’t get to relax. My husband works 6 days a week. He NEVER gets vacation, because his vacation is Yom Tov…he only gets 2 weeks a year (that’s 10 working days.) He comes home at 7:30-8 every night, rushes to Maariv, eats & works until 1:30 AM. EVERY night. Then he wakes up @ 6 to go to shul & he’s so lucky, he gets to do it all over again the next day. It’s no surprise he crashes every Friday… Read more »
Number 43 is EXTREAMLY RIGHT!!!!
By the way, l am an 11 year old boy, and l LOVE to help out for Pesach. If it’s cleaning, preparing for the Seder, etc. I LOVE it!
Boys could also help out. Don’t say, ”Who cares about Bochurim?”!
1. You could still be nice and help at least a little bit.
2. It’s Chutzpidik to speak to a mother ”We came here to rest, not to clean.”
3. Bochurim also learn a lot… It’s not that every other minute they could go for Pizza or Ice Cream!!!!
seriousilly. just bec ur daughters are lazy, the doens’t mean the rest of us girls are. i am a sister, a daughter, and a girl very involved in the community. when someone asks for me help to prepare for pesach, i am there in a heart beat. and i am constatnly telling my married sibling whom i live near, that if his wife needs any help with the kids, or the cleaning, they should let me know and i will b there in a second. i to will spend up the full night b/4 pesach turning overmy kitchen, and i… Read more »
Shmutz is kein Chamatz nisht un di kinder zeinin nisht kain korben pesach!
yes, i agree that we as high schoolers should help a lot more, and we dont do it enough, but just remeber-we have a whole few monhs of learning that we want to do, and even tho we do get a ‘break’ every afternoon, its usually filled with programs/chessed jobs/studying/helping in the house..and we want time to chill too! just keep it mind, pls! a FREILICHEN and kosher pesach!
its soooooo true we get a millon test evryday day and when we come home were expected 2 clean while the boys in yeshiva dont do anything they come and go when they want right be4 peasach they give us alot of test dont u think we should at least have a little break
yes pessach vacation is to relax form school and to help at hooem for pessach. that does not mean, mothers, that your kids need to have the responsability oor the strees, you ar in chrage of it, and they help you. and for those that surely need tima to relax and a break, what do you mean by a break. you wont need to study so many hours for next day test. we should all take pessach preparation not as a “ol” in its hebrew meaning, we left mitzraim laready, but rather make it fun, music, enjoy talking to ur… Read more »

im a high school student n my mom doesnt bribe me but if i clean well shell give me a hundred dollars and you know what teenagers like and need money especially if we dont have stable jobs so no your wrong and number 12 is right money can motivate different people. and everyones different i would still help out if she didnt give me that gift but you know not everyones the same ya never know in this case it might work 🙂
Hang up a list of things that still need to get done INCLUDING shopping for clothes and shoes. Put it in a very prominent place. Go about your day as calm as possible going from one thing to the next. Let them do what they want when they want and how they want, but be very clear about keeping to the list. there is NO shopping until…. gets done. It puts them in control and keeps you calm and everything will get done at the end. A kosherin freilichin Pesach to all. May we merit the coming of Moshiach BEFORE… Read more »

FRESHIES ROCK!!
You’re the reason for the shidduch crisis.
wow! most of these comments are sooo judgemental! ( I guess this is too!!!) but some really went overboard critisizing the parents – that never helps anyone !!! I admit I have some kids who enjoy and offer to help and others who don’t enjoy and don’t offer and if they do their room I’m happy – and if they do anything else its a bonus!! I accept that like I accept their other idiosyncrasies and try to work on a pleasant atmosphere in the home and not put undue pressure on myself or others!!
Go Sophies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t agree with you more. Parents are so afraid to slap their kids these days, but I think it is very necessary. I think that is the reason for the failing school system AND the shidduch crisis. How long will it take for you guys to understand that hitting your kid is a good thing. Did you know that the Middah of Gevurah is not necessarily being tough and strict, rather it is a cap on Chessed.
I remember being in hs and e/o had to go shopping when vacation started, I remember having to help when my “vacation ” started. I did not resent it too much because Pesach is a family hoilday, and if you want pesach to happen, eveyone must chip in. And my mom took me shopping for clothes in between cleaning and cooking-it’s all possible There are 2 problems I see, 1. when i was in hs there were alot! of tests, but for some reason over the years the system has only gotten worse. The girls complaining in the comment of… Read more »
1) Let them catch up on their sleep. Letting them sleep in always pays off. 2) They need to understand that they are given extra time off school in order to help get ready for Pesach. Pesach is a time when everyone in the family is expected to help out. 3) Give them advance notice of what will be expected from them. At the beginning of the week give them a general idea of what will be getting done that week and every night what will be getting done the next day. 3) Give them a list of several big… Read more »
first off, don’t make it sound like ALL girls don’t help and ALL boys do. but i think both parent and studant are right. i’m out of high school already, but believe me it’s tough! but, studants have to understand that they’re not off for “spring break” they’re off for pesach, and that includes the full package (cleaning, cooking, setting up, seving, etc. ) being that they were off already a week, and didn’t do much, that should be enough of a relaxing break, and at this point it’s time to get up and help!!! but , parents please don’t… Read more »
I can’t help but notice the large amount of comments from brhs students, who seem to sincerely believe that their pre-Pesach break is meant for them to relax from school! Am I the only one thinking that there’s something a bit off here? When are the mothers supposed to get a break from their regular household duties? Maybe this year we should all be “going on break” because we’re all so overworked.

Your problem did not start today. Help is not just expected from children on Erev Pesach. In my house, we have jobs every Erev Shabbos and every Moitzei Shabbos. . If you wait till Erev Pesach to teach your kids they need to help, well, sorry but you then are really setting yourself up for failure and you are a bit too late…… However, you can start now to teach your kids, this is all of our families’ house and we all share in the responsibility to make this our special HOME!!!
