אֲנַחְנוּ, כְּכָל-הַגּוֹיִם

We used to believe that a Jew does not expel a Jew.
A Chaldean expels a Jew.
An Assyrian expels a Jew.
A Roman expels a Jew.
A Spaniard expels a Jew.
A Pole expels a Jew.
A German expels a Jew.
And now a Jew expels a Jew.


Now We Are Like All the Nations. שמואל א פרק ח:כ

What's She talking about?

ORTHOMOM SAID:

This is just bunk. Anyone saying otherwise is simply either anti-orthodox, a complete idiot, or completely disengenuous. You choose one.

At first glance you would think shes talking about Gush Katif.Right?wrong.

When it comes to Gush Katif she is so left she fell off.

How Funny Would That Be?

Haaretz Correspondents, and The Associated Press
Earlier on Tuesday, three senior Yesha Council leaders were among the pullout opponents arrested in the western Negev as they were attempting to make their way to the Kissufim crossing in an effort to infiltrate Gush Katif, Israel Radio reported. Pinchas Wallerstein, Zviki Bar-Hai and Ze'ev Hever had been detained near the Be'eri junction as they were advancing on the Kissufim crossing.

NEW YORK POST-New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-48th District) is among the many infiltrators to have snuck into Gaza through the IDF roadblocks.
"It was very easy to get in," Hikind told The Jerusalem Post as he stood outside the Neveh Dekalim synagogue on Saturday night.

Mr.Assemblyman your room at Israeli jail of Jalboo awaits you.

Remember The Iron Sheik?

(tap on the title)

Associated Press-
KABUL, Afghanistan - Khosraw Basheri feverishly pumped iron and toned his body so it rippled with muscle and veins. His hard work paid off Saturday, when he claimed a historic title in his war-battered country — Mr. Afghanistan
At 96 kilograms (212 pounds), Basheri was among the heaviest contenders in the event, which featured nine weight classes and was held at a dilapidated movie theater in the Afghan capital, Kabul.Forty-eight competitors from across the country struck poses onstage, twisting their oiled torsos to display swelling back and abdominal muscles or extending legs to show off sinewy calves. Some winced, others forced smiles.
More than 200 spectators — some wearing turbans, others three-piece suits — crammed into the theater to watch the bodybuilders, who qualified for the event by winning contests in their home provinces and represent the sport's national appeal.




Me thinks Thomas Friedman said it best, but missed the glory, in a column describing why terrorists hate us americans:
"...globalization is in so many ways Americanization: globalization wears Mickey Mouse ears, it drinks Pepsi and Coke, eats Big Macs, does its computing on an IBM laptop with Windows 98. Many societies around the world can't get enough of it, but others see it as a fundamental threat." The upside: maybe after we get them to devour our bounties and pick up our culture, we can get them to see the world without the blinders of hate, as Stalin said "Ideas are more powerful than guns". How glorious a victory would that be?

Boil My Blood

Crazy Chumros,
I have many strange and wild customs that I have picked up from a vairety of places.To name a few: I wear a chabad tallis with an Atara, I sit for Havdalah, only make Kiddush on Vodka shabus mornings. I also picked a number of Chumros: I don't eat matzah outside of peasch, I'm makpid Rabunu Tom's Z'man for everything even Motzie Yom Tov Shanee, I don't Brok, I sit at my Chanuka for a 1/2 hour, eat in the Sukah on Shimine Ah'tzeres to list a few.But I 'v never pushed any of this on anyone else .And I don't understand people who do push chumras on the masses, as if it isn't hard enough.

Though I won't be making Havdalah until צאת הכוכבים לר"ת
Fixed 72 minutes after sunset 9:07:16 ע"ב דקות שוות אחר השקיעה . Many New York shuls are davening marriv Motzie Tish'abov at 8:40, which is after 3 small stars 36 minutes as degrees.ג' כוכבים קטנים ל"ו דקות במעלות that is for davening not eating. And some shuls are davening at 8:45PM which is almost a minute past nightfall for the Chazon Ish צאת הכוכבים חזון איש 40 minutes as degrees מ' דקות במעלות. Again this is when they will daven, not eat.But no shul was davening Marriv at 8:15 which would allow them to finish at 8:27:11 three medium stars 27 minutes as degrees.End of rabbinicly ordained (M'Derabanan) fasts. ג' כוכבים בינונים כ"ז דקות במעלות .

Please tell me there is one righteous shul out there.

What is even more annoying, is the women who don't know that they don't have to wait for their husbands(havdalah) and are not eating until G-d knows when , and so your holy chumra has become an avayra.Very nice.

BTW my (rabbi) PALM says we can eat at 8:25PM :)
