Did you know that modern orthodox Jews dislike black hat Jews more than black hat Jews dislike the modern orthodox? I was just as shocked as you when I found out the news, it was reported in a recent survey of the orthodox Jewish community, that although black hat Jewish dislike of the modern orthodox community is more outwardly shown, the modern community harbors far more hate for the frummies than they like to show in real life.

We all float in various social circles online – we have our friends in real life who was almost never say hi to online, we have our friends online that we almost never give a second glance in real life, we have our friends that we know only online . . . the list goes on. [click to continue…]

Masturbation is kind of like loshon horah, both are terrible sins and everyone is doing it pretty often. Typically when someone wants to find out if you’re frum, they ask if you keep kosher and shabbos, if you masturbate on shabbos you are mechalel shabbos and aren’t frum, but if you masturbate during the week it’s cool, you only get kurase cut off, of the ex communicated variety, don’t worry your penis will remain intact, although according to the Light of Efraim* you will be chased through the skies by all the semen you killed and then you will be boiled in your semen. How on earth our neshamas without their bodies can be boiled is beyond me, but I don’t want to find out. [click to continue…]

In a shocking new study, researchers have found that Haredi men tend to be in better shape than Modern Orthodox men. The study which was done over the past three years in Israel came to these conclusions last week as scientists at Tel Aviv University compiled data from the study. Many Haredim are shocked and thrilled at the findings, which they assumed would be exactly reverse. [click to continue…]

I get asked pretty frequently to recommend blogs for people to read or which blogs I choose to read. Within the Jewish Blogging World AKA Jewish Blogsphere, there are thousands of blogs, many of them worthwhile reads. Unfortunately time does not allow for daily reads. I have several daily reads and all of them lie within the following list. I was originally going to do a guide to the Jewish Blogsphere, the task proved too great, then I figured I should just make a post more devoted to the blogs and news sites that I read to stay up on my Jewish current events.
Every one of the blogs featured in this list is of importance to someone following what’s happening in the Jewish world – most of these sites are not personal blogs, and generally speaking I don’t read many personal blogs, save for a few of the shidduch blogs for ideas and the latest trends.I do plan on doing several guides to Jewish blogs, split up by categories, in the near future. For now, the following list is what I think Jewish bloggers trying to stay on their game should try to read frequently. [click to continue…]

There I said it, and I think the hate is crap, so they believe the rebbe is moshiach and they have the cult thing going on. I am pretty sure that if other Chassidic groups had as much public attention and allowed outsiders to come in, they would also receive as much flack. Put the messianic stuff aside and you have what is possible the single most important and influential group of Jews that has existed in ages. [click to continue…]

It has been learned that the recent uproar within orthodoxy over Rabbi Avi Weiss’s decision to make the world’s first orthodox woman rabbi has no halachic basis whatsoever. Speaking on anonymity, a very knowledgeable and learned rabbi from Monsey told FS- News in an interview that he didn’t agree with Rabbi Weiss, but that his disagreements weren’t rooted in Jewish law, they were rooted in his refusal to acknowledge that any woman could do a man’s job. Here are some excerpts from the interview. [click to continue…]

Keep in mind that this video was filmed at 4 in the morning – I really wasn’t thinking straight.

Orthodox Rabbis may ban air, because of the bacteria and bugs contained within it. It sounds crazy, but in a report released by ultra orthodox Rabbis in Lakewood, they clearly state that breathing in air is assur and that we as a people need to take drastic steps to prevent fellow Yidden from succumbing to the evil inclination and breathing in bugs. According to the Torah, eating bugs is considered an abomination, akin to cheating on your taxes and having anal sex with another man, and these Rabbis have finally admitted that breathing should not be allowed.
