Marrying a convert has its pluses: Christmas with the in-laws!

Charedi technology to fight the war on pritzus

Charedim market Blurry Glasses to aid in the war against Pritzus
If this was a few years ago I would have taken it as a joke, but after some Charedim spit on little girls going to school in Beit Shemesh and began calling women who sat on the front of buses…

Matisyahu gets heter to eat on Yom Kippur for Parnassah purposes

Dear Heshy: Why do you always bash black hats?

We must stop Tav Hayosher and its evil left wing agenda!
It doesn’t take a genius to see the evil doings of leftist, supposedly orthodox Jews. They try to twist Torah and Halacha to support their mostly liberal agendas and rarely do anything to benefit the Torah observant community. Tav Hayosher…

Nu, what’s it feel like to be married?
I know a lot of you want to hear all about my married life but to tell the truth, nothing has really changed. The reason for this is that unlike my rants and raves through the years, I fell in…
What’s the hardest aveira to do?
You know how they say some mitzvos are very hard to do, I’m not talking about hard in terms of conquering our yetzer harah’s that don’t allow us to do such mitzvos. I’m talking about mitzvos like shiluach hakan –…
Can you please get rid of the untznius dating ads on your site?
The funny thing about advertising is that it’s not only controlled by what sort of content you’re looking at, it’s also controlled by what content you like to look at. It appears that I like half naked Latin women and…
