1. Rabbas go to shul and talk about divrei torah. Real Jewish women go to shul and talk about who really should not be wearing such a tight dress and who should have been married by now if it wasn't for how picky she is.

2. Rabbas visit the sick. Real Jewish women say a kapitel tehillim and tell you to check your mezzuzos. Bikkur Cholim is just not ( Read more... )

So, I'm considering uncovering my hair. Here's a few reasons:

1. Buying a sheitel is like buying a used car.
Except worse. This past summer, I needed a new sheitel and went to a lady in my old community. She showed me all these lovely $1200 & $900 models and then convinced me to buy one for 500 + cut and style. A few months later, it wasn't working ( Read more... )

Zaka went to Haiti and worked over shabbos, stopping to break for two hours of davening. Now they are getting it from both sides.

Which one is crazier?

1. Sites which criticize Zaka for stopping for two hours to daven?

2. Or sites which criticize Zaka for going there and "being mechallel shabbos" in the first place?

3. Or... YWN posters who ( Read more... )

So after reading this story and this one, I have only one question for our gedolim.

Why is so little being done about the grave danger of mixed dibbukim? This is keeping me awake at night.

We must call for a separation between dibukkim!  A male dibuk should not be allowed to enter a female body and vise versa. Also, two dibbukim should only be ( Read more... )

I never really believed the whole Leib Tropper scandal. How could a Monsey Rosh Yeshiva be running a prostitution ring? That just sounds outrageous. Some people are biased against frum people and stories can be exaggerated, even made up.

But after hearing the audio tapes, this one and this one, I'm less sure. It could still be false, right? Even ( Read more... )

I don't have a lot of time to write because finals are coming up already and I have to worry about evidence and business associations exams.

But I just wanted to let you feministishe ladies know that Rav Moshe Feinstein thought you are just as good as any man. in fact, he says here that "to think that women somehow are considered less than men is ( Read more... )

In a very sad event last week, a young daughter of a shliach in Israel was tragically killed in a school-bus accident. The whole story was horrible.

At the shiva, the little girl's grandmother, the famous Miriam Swerdlov, spoke about taking the good with the bad and mi k'amcha yisrael and so on. She also sang a song with the women at the shiva, one ( Read more... )

If it is Da’at Torah to hurl cinder blocks at human beings, then we want to see a clear halachic ruling on the matter from one of the great rulers, and then we too shall act likewise. In the meantime we will warn against it. - Rabbi Moshe Grylak

Okay, so according to FM, an immodestly dressed girl is assaulted with a cinder block. Some rabbis, ( Read more... )
