Chukas Hagoyim is nothing to be proud of

It’s time for me to blog about more positive things and make a kiddush Hashem

Nice little kiddush Hashem
Guest post by Eliyahu Fink I just bumped into one of my (Jewish) Law School professors and he told me something worth sharing. He was reading an article about the Japan disaster fund. Donations are coming in from all over…

It may sound strange, but Shmarya Rosenberg of Failed Messiah deserves credit for helping me come up with the idea for this hopefully weekly post. you see he has this weekly piece on the Heeb Magazine Blog where he does…
To make a kiddush Hashem or just do the right thing – that is the question
In yeshiva I found a wallet while riding my bike once, after telling someone, I forget who, possibly a beis medrish guy – he told me some shocking news. He told me that there was a whole gemara about not…
Bar Mitzvah boy gives $40,000 to…
Get some head!!! Nah just joking, I couldn’t pass it up and its a pretty big Kiddush Hashem for a kid who got $40,000 for his bar mitzvah to give it to Sderot to build a playground. Talk about giving…
What is the biggest Kiddush Hashem?
B and H photo and video superstore is in my opinion one of the biggest Kiddush Hashem’s that is out there. Its rare that you see such a Kiddush Hashem that is able to take place on a daily basis…
