July 4th, 2008 · 11 Comments

I found this article while searching for something yesterday- it was written by Martin Bodeck who is one of the people who run The Knish an online Jewish newspaper similar to the onion.

What the heck does Heimishe mean

July 3rd, 2008 · 36 Comments

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 […]

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 […]

Battle of the Black Hats

June 18th, 2008 · 37 Comments

For all of the uninformed a Bend Down is the type of hat the yeshiva crowd wears, in other places it is simply known as the Stetson or the Fedora, while the Chassidim wear Beavers, these are similar to top hats, in that they are solid and stay in shape. Streimels and Spudicks are those […]

What kind of handshake do you give?

June 17th, 2008 · 44 Comments

I have been weeding out the handshake while living in Monsey most due to the fact that washing cups are the favorite sink companion here rather then soap like in normal places. For everyone else the handshake is the way to greet- oh I should preface this was from a mans perspective. I feel that […]

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 […]

Making fun of yeshiva guys

June 3rd, 2008 · 9 Comments

So the following video is a little change from the norm- its a multiple person video and just some footage I shot the other night of my brother- who is the rather small dude, and his two friends Mordy and Giddy. They all just got on this groove which started with making fun of how […]

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 […]
