Heshy Fried makes it to the Jewish Press

by Heshy Fried on December 26, 2008 · 25 comments

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?

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’.

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.

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.
