Dear Editor@Matzav.com,
Over the last two months, I’ve had guests almost every week for simchos – aufrufs, sheva brachos, bar mitzvahs, etc. I am appalled by a lack of basic courtesy and respect that I’ve experienced.
When staying in someone else’s home, we should treat it with the utmost care . It is a fundamental expectation that guests should leave the accommodation in the same, if not better, condition than they found it. However, it appears that some orchim either forget or choose to ignore this.
I cannot comprehend the audacity of those who believe it is acceptable to simply walk away, not bothering to take off the linen! Seriously?!

Dear Editor@Matzav.com,
I write this letter with utmost frustration and disappointment regarding a matter that has deeply troubled me. It pertains to the abhorrent lack of food on Shavuos night at certain shuls.
Devoted individuals stay up all night to engage in Torah study, yet they are left starving, with barely any food served in their shuls. Come on. Would it kill to give some refreshments?
Recent failures in adequately providing food on this important night have left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Dear Editor@Matzav,
I am writing this letter with a profound sense of frustration and annoyance regarding an issue that continues to plague our roadways and test the patience of countless drivers in our frum communities.
It pertains to those individuals who seem to have an inexplicable desire to drive at a snail’s pace, completely oblivious to the long line of vehicles they hold captive behind them. What’s worse is that these slow drivers have the audacity to become indignant and irritated at those of us who simply want to drive at a reasonable pace and not endure an excruciatingly slow journey.

Dear Matzav Editor,
I write this letter to express my perspective as a frum Jew who has chosen not to live in Eretz Yisroel, particularly in light of recent events that have brought to the forefront the unfortunate anti-chareidi sentiment among some sectors of Israeli society.
Undoubtedly, Eretz Yisroel holds tremendous spiritual significance for us all, and it is our shared dream to witness the ultimate redemption of Moshiach and the ingathering of the exiles. However, the recent displays of contempt and derogatory accusations against religious Jews by certain segments of Israeli society have been deeply disheartening and unsettling.

Dear Editor,
I write this letter with a mixture of curiosity and bewilderment, wondering if I am the only woman in our community who has a full-time job and actively participates in the workforce.
Just the other day, I found myself needing to take a day off from work to tend to some medical appointments. As I passed a local dairy eatery, I was taken aback by the sight that greeted me. The place was bustling with activity, filled with women who appeared to have ample time on their hands. They sat at tables, engaged in animated conversations, seemingly without a care in the world. I couldn’t help but wonder: Don’t these individuals have jobs or other responsibilities to attend to?

Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the exorbitant costs associated with frum summer sleep-away camps.
I have witnessed firsthand how these exorbitant fees place an immense financial burden on parents who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Sometimes, the most important questions are the ones that aren’t asked about the issues that generate the most concern. That’s certainly true with respect to the widespread and justified concern about a rising tide of antisemitism that has spread across the globe to the United States. There, the question that isn’t being asked is whether the information we’re being fed by the Anti-Defamation League is illuminating the problem or actually doing more to confuse and distort the discussion about its core mission of fighting Jew-hatred.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my concern over the excessive spending on Sheva Brachos, parlor meetings, and so on in our communities. It seems that these celebrations have turned into something resembling a fancy wedding, complete with singers, orchestras, and catering that is far beyond what is necessary.
While Sheva Brachos are certainly a time to celebrate, it is important to remember that they are meant to be a simple and joyous occasion. The focus should be on the chosson and kallah, and friends and family coming together to wish them well as they begin their married life.

Dear Editor@Matzav.com,
I am writing to express my concern about the increasing number of boys and men who are not being careful about their peyos and are getting haircuts that are halachically forbidden, such as crew cuts and buzz haircuts.
People must be mindful of the way they groom their hair.
I do not chas veshalom believe that people are doing this on purpose.
I assume it comes from total am haaratzus – ignorance.
These types of haircuts I refer to – and you know what I’m talking about are an absolute violation of a mitzvah de’oraysa!

Dear Editor@Matzav.com,
I am writing to express my concern about the increasing use of the phrase “IYKYK” or “If you know, you know” in social media and online conversations. This phrase is often used as a way to exclude others from a conversation, making them feel like they are not part of an exclusive group.
Not only is this type of language exclusionary and elitist, but it also undermines the idea of open and inclusive communication. It is important for all of us to strive for understanding and empathy, rather than creating divisions and fostering a sense of superiority.
