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 […]

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 […]

My first Haviel Halelim- Jewish Blogger Carnival

May 31st, 2008 · 26 Comments

This is my first ever Haviel Halelim so I hope it comes out all right. For all of you who are not aware- a Haviel Halelim is a Jewish Blogger Carnival in which bloggers submit their posts and I put them up with links back to them. I also looked around at several recently updated […]

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 […]

What do you think of the Rubashkins scandal?

May 25th, 2008 · 55 Comments

I received this via email and was wondering you folks thought of it. The Rubashkins scandal sucks because I like meat and I don’t want it going up in price- because while I only eat vegetarian during the week, I rely on my free shabbos meals to provide me with the meat I so truly […]

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 […]

Why can’t there be a database of halacha, chumra and heterim?

May 18th, 2008 · 27 Comments

The title says it all, I am sick of people telling me some leniency or chumra and then saying that they heard it from some random sephardic Rabbi in Forest Hills. Or maybe when you have a heter to shower during the 9 days you can’t seem to find out who gave you this heter. […]

Highlights from my date last night

May 16th, 2008 · 35 Comments

As you may have seen on my facebook status I had a date last night. It was my first venture into the “I’m a real and settled women crowd” meaning she is over 30, in fact she was 5 years older then me. You couldn’t tell by looks because frankly I thought she was kind […]
