I wrote about it earlier in the week – but I am super thrilled to see my name in print – in a paper read by thousands of people and that I have a subscription to. I was even thinking of asking a slew of people to send Jason Maoz (the very kind editor of the Jewish Press) hundreds of fan letter convincing him give me a my own column.
Hey Jason I know you are reading this:
Maybe I can do one of those controversial columns in the chronicles of crisis section where I give funny responses to those letters sent in to Dr. Yael Respler? What about a funny and light shidduch column? I can totally do an “I remember when column” for those of us who grew up in the 80’s. Maybe just a light humor column entitled frum satire?
Come on what do you say?

I was going to call you, Props!
Very cool, congrats. You would probably piss too many people off with a regular column. But then again, isn’t that what the Op-ed section is for?
Good Shabbos.
Yes, you would do a much better job than Respler.
Heshy – Ill read read it over shabbos
PS
Jason is a very nice person and he has room in his heart for new talent. A “Farginner”
I have a picture blog, mostly art and nature – not really something a newspaper can use. A few months ago Jason sent me a tiny short email “Joe, Youre doing a nice job. I like your site. Keep it up” As I said, there is nothing he wanted from me. Wow
Wow, and on page8 that is impressive stuff. Kiddush is a timeless classic but people are really cutting back on it especially waiter hiring and how many people they order for, due to this ‘crisis’.
Congratulations.
Do they pay or is it for free?
They didn’t pay me – but I am just trying to get published to build up some sort of portfolio
Very nice Hesh. We’re making today an official Half-Hallel (don’t ask me what the other half is) in your honor.
Incredibly enough, today is already a whole Hallel.
very good article. will it be a regular one column?
Congrats and you chose a definite classic to recycle.
congrats dude
Major props where props are due..nice goin Hesh, great way to get your foot in the door to the cut throat world of journalism, you’ll be big time in no time.
congrats!

I hate to sound like a shachan butI think you can offer Heshy I little more that “congrats” maybe you 2 can go on a blind date.
well hesh – congrats! kol hakavod! it must be such a thrill to see your name in print. please G-d one day by me………
i am totally shepping nachas !!!!
much love!!!!
WOW Heshy. So now the JP will help spread your disgusting website.
Do I read it sometimes? Yes. IS it wrong? Yes. Should the JP have your COLUMN? HELLS NO!
Good job. I am disgusted with you
For cryin out loud the Jewish Press features articles on Sarah Silverman have you ever listened to that prustah zonah to stand up comedy she makes Hesh look like Barnie
Moron – go F yourself!!!
You tell him Hesh!
I thought the best way to congratulate you was to add a comment on JPs website which they might print. You can now read it at the end of the article. maybe your readers will follow my lead.
by the way I made it up, my shul never had a Kiddush, in fact i never even went
The Jewish Press never pays me, either. I write to them because I support the Jewish Press. It’s a labor of love.
If you would like compensation for your columns, try the Jewish Week.
Ah, the lighter side of frum life. We need a regular humor column. It keeps us from buckling under the chumras.
