Every second guy, it seems, has become an expert on the recent kumzitz tumult. Each “expert” knows that we don’t give our boys enough healthy outlets and that we should be doing things differently, etc. They know why the tumult happened, who is responsible, and what should be changed.
Everyone is suddenly an expert of the latest hock.
So thanks to all these “professionals” for the insight. But it’s pretty obvious. Neither me nor you needs another guy on a blog or WhatsApp to lament how our system is broken and we aren’t doing things right and we should be outraged and all that. We’ve heard it. We know it. And it’s changing.

A proposal introduced in Quebec last month to ban yarmulkes and other religious clothing has come under fire with one Jewish mayor of a town in the Canadian province equating it to “ethnic cleansing.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also opposed the measure.
“It’s unthinkable to me that in a free society we would legitimize discrimination against citizens based on their religion,” he said.
Hampstead Mayor William Steinberg has refused to heed calls from Trudeau and other politicians to apologize for labeling Bill 21, which was introduced in response to the issue of Muslim women wearing hijabs in Quebec, as “ethnic cleansing.”
