I-pods are banned in Israel

July 2nd, 2008 · 21 Comments

Thank you Jameel for telling me about this
“A terrible plague is upon us, calming victims every day… these sinful devices were banned by all the great rabbis, but are still common in the haredi world… their devilish distributors want nothing more than to drive the people of Israel to sin, through movies and other abominations”

“This […]

Just got this Shidduch Resume via email

June 23rd, 2008 · 55 Comments

Received via email from someone who wished to remain anonymous:
I must be living under a rock. A friend just told me that girls are now drafting “resumes” for Shadchanim. The Shadchanim then send a batch of resumes to parents of guys and then they select the girl that their “Best Guy in Lakewood […]

I honestly thought this was a joke when I first received it in my inbox, but its not. It is probably one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Of course it creates issues- because now the Rabbis can ban toilet paper all week, because we […]

Can a women read the megillah for a man?

June 12th, 2008 · 29 Comments

You may notice that I have been posting more and more semi-serious posts, and that is because I feel like it. I also used to post multiple times per day and for some reason I am in that mode once again. I have also been posting quite a bit on my outdoors blog as well.
I […]

Why women don’t learn gemara

May 29th, 2008 · 97 Comments

I am not trying to beat a dead horse with a stick here- but one of my uh…advertisers needed me to write about something which kind of went along with the post on women wearing pants. So without further ado…
While in yeshiva in Israel I learned several things, besides how to ride my bike through […]

Philosophizing about orthodox women who wear pants

May 27th, 2008 · 135 Comments

I was at a crazy bonfire in Philly for Lag Baomer and out of nowhere an old friend of a friend noticed me and we got to chatting- I made note of her descent off the derech since the last time I saw her. I based my whole opinion of her based on the fact […]

AKA Pella CD Review

May 21st, 2008 · 56 Comments

I am not one to listen to much Jewish music, there are several reasons, the most important being that almost all Jewish music sucks. It either sounds like a full horn section with beats right out of a Debbie Gibson song, or they have to make it sound like techno. Add to this factor that […]

The following video is creating an uproar on you tube

May 20th, 2008 · 57 Comments

I have posted this video before- but it needs to be posted again with all of the rather violent comments made by two individuals who think I am the worst thing since the Nazis. I am perpetuating hate and they have become convinced that I am writing for an audience of missionaries and secular Jews […]
