So instead of setting aside stones to throw at people not obeying their chumros, the Charedim in Meah Shearim are using potato kugel. Well at least according to this Yeshiva World News article with the same title as above. Of course I cannot find anything about this anywhere on the web, so lets just think [...]

Man posing as YWN editor tries to get me to shut up
November 3rd, 2008 · 17 Comments
I guess last weeks post pissed people off enough to make someone create a false email address and email me posing as a Yeshiva World News editor, claiming that someone had emailed him the link to my post VIN vs. YWN.
I was honored to say the least and then when Dov Bear who is [...]

Are you pissed that some events have mixed seating?
October 28th, 2008 · 30 Comments
Then you can bring tear gas and stab someone…
Vos is Neias reports that a man in Israel showed up at a birthday party of a three year old armed with tear gas and stabbed someone because he was bothered by the mixed seating. I can just imagine what would happen at a yeshiva prom.
So what now, [...]

Crown Heights Simchas Bais Hoshoeva: Photos and Thoughts
October 19th, 2008 · 54 Comments
I arrived in Crown Heights at 11:30pm last night, jacked up on an almond snickers bar and some mountain dew I thanked the Lord for convincing me to take a nap earlier in the day so that I could have the energy to drive all the way to Crown Heights at such a late hour. [...]

Anti Indulgence Chassidim in Williamsburg ban Choice!!!
October 16th, 2008 · 21 Comments
I have always had some existential angst when it came to the whole concept of choice. All those theories about freedom of choice and God knowing all drive me so crazy that I choose to just ignore everything and go along in my partially blind faith- “how can God know everything that will happen yet [...]

The problem with using chickens for kapparos
October 8th, 2008 · 10 Comments
Taken from the “chumra of the week” Facebook club. Not sure who exactly wrote it- but its amazing
I don’t hold by kaparot/ss with chickens
COW (chumra of the week) members have truly been blessed with an opportunity to differentiate their yirat/ss shamayim/m from the rest of Am Yisrael/oel in regard to their practice of kapparot/ss.
There is [...]

Charedim in Israel Ban Tzipi Livni
September 23rd, 2008 · 13 Comments
If they could I am sure they would- but blotting out her face and not mentioning her name is the next best thing. I wonder if the name Tzipi will be banned?
So I wonder what is going to happen if Sarah Palin becomes the next vice president. Will the frummies blot out her face like [...]

Thoughts on the Twerski controversey
September 15th, 2008 · 34 Comments
I have received several emails asking me what my thoughts are on the whole Twerski fiasco
For those of you who do not read the NY Post or VIN, Dov Hikind has decided to try and combat this whole child molestation thing in yeshivas by making some sort of effort- because everyone else likes to shove [...]

Chassidim in Willaimsburg say bike lanes are not tznius!!!
September 13th, 2008 · 33 Comments
When the bans and chumras start affecting me they have gone too far. While reading Vos Iz Neias this morning I cam across an article on this issue and I am in pain. Because now they are starting to ban things that mean something to me. I wash my own spinach, don’t listen to Jewish [...]
