An apology to the Off The Derech community

G-Damnit, Cut It Out

Quoting Walt Whitman is against the Torah

Is Facebook or Smoking more assur?
It’s not another satirical piece by me, it’s actually a fairly lengthy discussion in one of the yeshiva world news coffee room forums and it’s a pretty hot debate. The basic premise is that smoking will cause you physical harm,…
