Upon moving to Monsey I discovered that pretty much everyone uses the term Heimishe to describe someone or something that is dressed in black and white. I understand that the true meaning of the word is “homely or warm,” but there is something distinctively wrong with that term- since I feel that Monsey is the […]

My brother needs to borrow a large internal frame backpack
June 24th, 2008 · 6 Comments
My brother is going on a trip with the Jewish Outdoors Club to climb Mount Ranier- and he needs a 5500 cubic inch internal frame backpack. He just wants to borrow one- since he normally only does 5 day trips and never needs one so large. If anyone has one to lend or knows of […]

Is the word Goy offensive?
June 16th, 2008 · 111 Comments
I have no idea how my simple funny picture making fun of global warming became an all out debate over whether the usage of the term Goy to refer to non-Jews is offensive or not. Since I would rather have the whole populace involved and in order to entertain you fine folks sitting in your […]

Your gonna poke your out
June 14th, 2008 · 18 Comments
How many times I have heard the statement “your gonna poke your eye out” is not countable and yet today I heard it again. Tell me do any of you know anyone that has actually poked their eyes out while playing with something that parents and babysiters and other do gooders chastise their children with […]

Why don’t frum men wear wedding rings?
June 11th, 2008 · 64 Comments
This was originally posted long ago, but since many of you are too lazy to look through my archives- I have edited it and reposted it.
This article was sent to me by a red headed, Canadian lady friend of mine who wished to remain annonymous. I took her ramblings and added my own spice.
So I […]

Do you consider shul hopping an acceptable practice?
June 6th, 2008 · 22 Comments
Whenever someone would ask my father where we went to shul, he would always respond the same way- “never ask a west sider where they go to shul” implying there was no loyalty on the west side, and that choosing where you went to shul was based on many different attributes, including Rabbi, weather, distance, […]

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 […]

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. […]
