I was laughing my butt off last night when I found this old yet long (31 minutes)video in my folders. Youtube now allows longer videos. This is some of my best content ever.

Failed Messiah has a story about Rabbi Gottlieb, one of the main organizers of the Asifa, being involved in child abuse at a yeshiva he used to work for in Lakewood. While the charges are alleged, I’m sure someone with a sick mind like the guy behind Failed Messiah will blow it out of proportion and bring down the entire Gottlieb family tree if it can get one more hit to his blog. Who cares? What does beating children, who ought to be beaten sometimes, in a yeshiva setting have to do with the dangers of the internet. [click to continue…]

Every once in a while I like to throw down a post of links to things I found interesting, but for whatever reason couldn’t make an entire blog post devoted to them.
The most interesting OU trademark case involving a tattoo on boxer Miguel Cotto, check out Rabbi Jason’s blog which also includes other interesting OU trademark cases like the Coffee shop in Christ-Church New Zealand that uses the OU in its logo. [click to continue…]

I initially laughed at what I’m about to tell you, but then I began wondering about the implications of it. There is a common practice among gang members to pour off a little of whatever drink they’re having in front of the corner store when they learn of a friend being shot or picked up by police. I believe it’s called “pouring one off for the homie”, well in San Francisco a similar custom apparently takes place at some Jewish weddings. Some folks have been pouring off a little of the wine under the chuppah for those who don’t have the right to marry yet. I have yet to confirm this minhag, but it’s funny and disturbing at the same time. [click to continue…]

I know what I’m about to say is going to piss off some of you nutty left winged morons, but it needs to be said. I’m sick of people trashing the true believers and authentic followers of Judaism for the real and true interpretation of the Torah and Halacha. I have seen a disturbing trend in which people to the left of the black hat seem to think they understand the Torah better than those who actually study it day and night and keep to the true interpretation and mesorah from Sinai.

I am noticing a growing trend in what I like to call “palate clicking.” (This was obviously written by a BT, because it is not a growing trend, palate clicking has been around for centuries, we practically have a mesorah for palate clicking)
Bradley Morgan sent this to me.
What is palate clicking? Palate clicking is that sound frum yids make just prior to making an important point. It involves putting the tip of your tongue on the palate of the mouth just behind the front teeth and then making a clicking noise. Normally it is preceded by a pause accompanied by a slight bobbing movement of the head or even yeshivish arm movements to indicate something thoughtful is about to be said. [click to continue…]

Dear Chinuch Roundtable
I cannot live through sefirah without listening to music. It’s mammesh a sakonoh for me since I’m addicted. I understand that we have to give up music, but why can we listen to Acapella? and why davka live music? There was no recorded music then. Can’t I listen to music that I hate? Like rap or reggae or worse, chazzunus? I also heard from a chazzan in my shul that you can only listen to Dorian and Phrygian modes of music, as well as “freiggish” style, which is the Jewish mode, but you can’t listed to music in major or Ionian mode. Since when did chazal know about church modes? What about sefardic music that sounds mammesh like the arabic music? Won’t that increase the suffering we are supposed to feel during sefira?
