About
“Heshy Fried takes humorous situations and idiosyncrasies inherent with living an observant lifestyle and rants about them in both a highly animated and humorous manner. I would describe him sort of as the “Frum Dennis Miller.” Although I would describe myself as a frum Wood Allen instead.
If you really want to know what Frum Satire is about you should read the following profile that Tablet Magazine did on me.Luke Ford interviewed me and you can watch almost 2 hours of footage there.
This is footage from my most recent live show:

As a sociologist you would probably find this story interesting. There is a gypsy conman in Miami Beach who is passing himself off as a Jew. He has legally changed his name to “Dov Bear Smirnoff.” The bastard is wreaking havoc on the community and has taken advantage of countless people. He was most recently written about in the Florida Jewish News: http://floridajewishnews.com/News/South_Florida/%E2%80%9CBeware_of_Bear,%E2%80%9D_Blogger_Warns_200708101344/
You can also read about him here: http://www.freewebs.com/bear-smirnoff/
I noticed that one of the most popular searches on your website was for “Dov Bear Smirnoff” which indicates that people in the community were suspicious of this guy and were trying to find out more about him. For instance, go here http://frumsatire.wordpress.com/2006/08/ and you’ll see that at least three people searched for his name. We are trying to expose this guy down here in Florida and would like to close doors to him everywhere in the Jewish community.
Thanks for you help.
I really admire your writing. You are one of the few original and interesting frum people around and that is a blessing. Always be yourself. The girl who gets to marry you is a lucky girl.

Your archives page doesnt work.
I know and have no idea, nor does my web designer know how to eradicate the issues.
But if you would go either to the categories, months or Here- http://frumsatire.net/list-of-all-posts/
You will see my true archives, its interesting because I cannot figure out how to remove the archives page from the top bar.

It’s interesting and kind of obscene that one the Google ads, on your website, is a Jews for Jesus link. I realize you have no control over Google ads, but…………..
Hey Hesh,
I figured this would be the place to get the latest news and perspective on our friend Ted Larry Floyd infiltrating the frima Lakewood community (oy, vey!).
That dude is awesome!
Dude that guy is da man- the whole story is hilarious.
write about Yu!
Yea, Write about YU!
Word!
You remind me of a frum-Joel Chasnoff. Being in Jewish comedy I’m sure you’ve heard of him. He’s amazing. And you’re pretty funny yourself. Keep it up, this blog is quite entertaining.
What is with this obsession with YU? I have a feeling its the same guy posting under different aliases all across your site.
Then I got a car and started doing crazy road trips that have so far allowed me to drive to every state including Alaska
Now THAT is cool. I’ve been counting states I’ve been to – it’s kind of an obsession. When planning vacations, I eventry to get my wife to agree to go places where we’ll have the opportunity to “pick up the most states”.
However, I’m stuck at 27 lately. The last state I picked up was Wisconsin, about 2 1/2 years ago…
Well I have only one state left, but if you count states I have only been in Once there are several- including California, Oregon and Arkansas.
A link exchange it is! I don’t know why you’re not already on my blogroll. You’ve def already in my google reader for months.
hey whats the deal? i tried to leave a comment on your blog but it wasnt posting. do you like screen for curse words or something?
I have an automated spam blocker- and yes curse words are automatically blocked- I am not always computer accessible to approve comments.
hey
Allrighty, that was just a test to see if my post would work. I just wanted to comment on the unique way you choose to depict all these funny anecdotes revolving jewish tradition and frum life. In a good way, you remind me of seinfeld- you both discuss issues that most people have thought about but somehow never bring it out into the open. You certainly do a great job of bringing many laughs and I do hope you continue
Just a little sidenote, try to get your name out there and work at jewish weddings or engagements ( ones that arent too frum) This can certainly turn into a business venture or if anything- just a hobby that you love doing.
Dear,
I enjoy your writing.
What do we you with this?:

Thank you.
I have recently started reading your blog, found it usuing my google reader searches for material that I was interested. Since a lot of my material is either funny or Jewish, your blog came up. Needless to say, it has been fun! I pitter patter around the blogosphere and sometimes write some stuff. I am too busy, and involved in my books to write a lot of things down. What I really want to say is thank you, your blog makes the work day move faster and provides the needed laugh.

Hi My wife and I would like to thank you all for this web site. Hours of pleasure and all
You’ve driven to Hawaii? Wow. BTW, I think Alaska has been a state for about fifty years now, although I’m told that since one passes through Canada to get there, some folks think it is a county in Ninuvit.
