Women of the wall take a highly misogynistic stance. Throughout history, men and women in Judaism have had different, but highly treasured roles. By downplaying the importance of women's rightful role in Judaism, they assert that the role of men is superior and denigrate religious women. This is as offensive as it is inaccurate. Women should be aware of their own worth, they shouldn't ape the men out of misguided and outdated feminist notions. Orthodox Jews are the real feminists, because they believe in the unique power and qualities of women.
actually if you listen to the music it doesn't/ It was worse written than what it seems . more importantly kosha dillz can beat some kids up and actually stands for Judaism in a world where people are very anti-semitic and anti-israel.I dont think this was greatly written though to his description. Listen to "It was all a dream" or Munich 72.
She is their Mother and they want to live with her, they are scared of their Father. Children will more than likely have long term feelings of abandonment and turn against their Father and religion. Children need their Mother religion should not come into custody decisions. Good Luck Kelly.
Religion should not play a part in who has custody of these children, all the children have asked to live with their Mother.Kelly is their primary caretaker the one who gave birth to them and raised them she has done everything to get them help for their problems, The Father has done nothing.Children need their Mothers, by denying them her care the children may well suffer long term feelings of abandonment ,and will more than likely turn against their Father and their religion. Family Courts are removing children from their protective Mothers and giving them to abusers everyday. Children grow up and the TRUTH will be told. I am so sorry Kelly and I hope you win your appeal and get YOUR children back SOON. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR SONS.
It is very sensitive topic. On one hand independence of voice(media or personal opinion) is important. But nobody should stand by hatred speech. On the other hand it is difficult to control(Unlike the nation specific media) on facebook or twitter as these mean of communication are used allover the world. for example one type of joke will be funny in US, but will become a burning issue in Middleeast or China.
Ethiopian people are the most humane people you would ever meet....just because the west is technologically advanced it does not mean they have high morals or humanity. FYI all the gross inhumane acts known in history was committed by the west not us.
And may this be a blessing to many precious talmidim.
I'm not sure to whom I'm writing. It would be nice were I to find some response waiting for me one day. Mom had Alzheimer's. I visited her seldom, more in her early stages when we would recognize each other. My sister saw her more often than I, since she arranged for Mom to move to Boston where there was a lovely home & a lovely room where she stayed - much closer to my sister than to me. I visited Mom late in the later stages. Mom was on a bed - not then in her previous, more lovely home. She said nothing. Only breathed. I sat beside her & whispered to her. I hoped for a response. I wanted to hear her. It is now many years later. I am as far away now as I was from her then, or she from me. I imagine thin lines spoken by her to me, knowing it's how I imagined she might be responding to me then. ∫å
You are a very brave and courageous person. Remember, bravery is when you do something you are afraid to do. You've been to the Wall, you've experienced these threats, and now you've published this editorial. You are a good and brave person, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise, especially yourself.
The Torah commands Jews to wear fringes on the corners of their garments. It does not command men; it commands Jews. Stand up for what you believe in; you and your friends are the Jewish Rosa Parks. You are not good, you are great Jews. You pray with bravery, and we respect you for that. Good for you! We all know it's a reprehensible sin to attack anyone at prayer, and we know that it's impossible to drown out the voice of prayer, because even silent prayers can be heard. Do not quit, and you will not lose.

I read this article and I must have missed all the relevant details about Nina, including her age, background and why she needed to convert in the first place if she was, as the article mentions, a child of orthodox parents. Are all children born of Jewish mothers not jewish in the eyes of the chief rabbinate unless they have a conversion certificate? i'm confused.
and here i thought i was the only one !!
NYPD put the crowd estimate at 75,000.
in secular point of view ,that's a point ;but as you with your free will choosed your life with a secular approach ,or a corrupted religious one ,they have the right and used their right to choose their fate their faith their destiny torah approach ,so they cannot take part in supporting a country that has no right to exist ,their is no right for a country under the name jew ,to exist with the force of army ,for the time being ;if they choosed to take over isreal from the terks from the englands and hold the security and wealth through their hands ,they sopposed to take into consideration that they will have to be alone with that and can not rely on satmar to come help them in any way !if you cant any more just leave it alone give it up to the united nations , and get the hell out of here
only satmar went

How can any law in Israel be ruled unconstitutional when Israel has no constitution?
That sounds like something a stalker might say...
If you play you pay. They live in Israel they should be registered for the Armed Services. If they don't want to serve in the field then they can serve as orderlies in the hospitals. Or as clerks. They get the benefits of Israel. They now need to pay up for them. Everyone else does. Jewish and Non-Jewish.
I like LeMarais lot and eat there whenever we visit New York. Im going to try the corn chowder at home.
Thanks
Dear Rabbi Miller: Thank you for this informative article. Have you heard about Aspiritech right here in the Chicago area? Check us out at www.aspiritech.org.
Say, rather, that liquor, taken in moderation and in the right spirit (no pun intended), often helps people discover other things that they have in common. If the only common motivation were a love of liquor itself, everyone would just have it delivered and drink it alone. Mind you, discovering things one has in common with others carries its own risks....
"other people were out there fighting for my right to pray freely in Israel." The issue is not about your right to pray freely in Israel. You alaready have that right. You even have the right to pray as you wish at the Kotel with a few simple guidelines that can exist in any holy place in the world. The issue is gathering as a group at the Kotel in a manner that offends a large percent of the population that comes to the kotel on a regular basis, and not just once a month. Personally, I don't have an objection to the manner that this group want to pray at the Kotel- but I also understand that it is very offensive to many people and a compromise should be worked out- as has been worked out already by Natan Sharansky. So come back to Israel, and come to pray at the Kotel because you want to pray and not to protest for some freedom that actually already exists.
If, as you say “Much of Israeli society is fed up with the fact that the haredim, or fervently Orthodox, not only show disdain for the army — asserting that learning Torah is a source of Divine protection for their fellow Jews…” then how much more are the haredim “fed-up” or perhaps “frustrated” would be a better word, with their chiloni jewish brothers and sisters who lag sadly in maturity and wisdom?
Why is the frustration of the haredim not merited as being legitimate. If the chiloni can’t see the wood for the trees, so that the world does not make “sense” to them, isn’t it simply counterproductive to encourage them in their misguided direction? Of course it is counterproductive.
Yes, Torah study protects the Jewish people.
The chiloni have to pay for their protection if they do not study Torah.

Lots of people make mistakes, but how many of them promptly, publicly and eloquently admit them? Rachel, as one of the organizers of the Women of the Wall prayer service, I thank you for your support and look forward to having you join us in prayer and song another time.
