Last Sunday afternoon I had a nice chat with sixth-grade children and their parents about oral sex. Let me assure you that when I studied to be a rabbi, oral sex was not an elective in my seminary’s curriculum, but now it seems to me of much greater importance than teaching these kids how to bless a challah bread.
... it is just unbelievably embarrassing to talk about this stuff. I am a fearless public speaker but my palms were sweating all through the lecture last Sunday. In the follow-up to the lecture, the main question the kids had was, “Do you really have sex?”
...The avalanche’s roar carries a single message: love and sex do not have to be connected in any way at all. Sex can be just hooking up, this message says, and to avoid pregnancy (obviously true) and to avoid AIDS and STDS (utterly false) oral sex is seen by our kids as nothing more than an after-school snack. Many kids now consider it as nothing more than a social convention, a mark of popularity, a sign of sexual liberation and a pleasant way to pass the time in the back of the bus on the way to school.
...I asked the girls I teach and love last Sunday, “When you offer oral sex to a boy who does not love you and may not even like you and who will most probably destroy your reputation by telling his friends what you will do, are you proud of yourself? Do you think you are making your parents proud of you? Do you think this is what God wants you to do with your body? You are better than that. You are much better than that.”
I asked the boys I teach and love last Sunday, “When you ask or beg or plead or coerce or manipulate a young girl who likes you and just wants to be popular to go down on you, are you proud of doing that to her? Do you think you are making your parents proud of you? Do you think this is what God wants you to do with your body? You are better than that. You are much better than that.”
Then I surrendered to my need to explain that this was not just me talking, but our faith talking and so I quoted the Talmud to them: “Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s rib: Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.”
And then I took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off my palms and watched their faces as they thought about something deeply important and difficult. Maybe I changed nothing. I think I started some important conversations at home, and all this happened in my synagogue. Last Sunday I know I did my job, and I did it without teaching anybody how to bless a challah.

Gad Elbaz, the very frum singer whose sound, swagger and looks have won him many young fans. With giggling teens pressed up against the backstage gate at concerts hoping to glimpse at the 23-year-old "pop idol" and tons of e-mails calling him a "world-class hunk," the frequent phone calls pledging love and the adoration visible at his shows have put him in trouble with the ultra-very frum.

Elbaz is a compact, energetic presence his olive skin and dark eyes reflect his family's North African roots. Of his three solo albums, "Meanings" has had the most success, selling 80,000 copies since last spring.

Moran Elbaz, 19, was once a fan. Now his wife, mother of his son, Benjamin. The two met after Moran organized an Elbaz concert . Now Moran finds herself fielding a steady stream of phone calls from young females, who often hang up once she asks the reason for the call.

"He is so handsome," gushes Etti, 17, whose ankle-length skirt and turtleneck sweater fit the modesty requirements of the ultra-Orthodox dress code. "He's also good and sweet.""Tell Gadi we're lovesick over him," Etti says over her shoulder as she is escorted back to the women's section.

The book "The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference" by David Berger is an attempt at history, an indictment, a lament, and overall a very childish appeal, focusing on the messianic trend in Lubavitch . It tries to tell of "the shattering" of one of Judaism's core beliefs codified by the Rambam. The book is the winner of the 2004 Samuel Belkin Literary Award from Yeshiva University.

The book "The Limits of Orthodox Theology: Maimonides' Thirteen Principles Reappraised" (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization (Series) by Marc Shapiro takes issue with the widespread assumption that Maimonides' famous Thirteen Principles are the last word in Orthodox Jewish theology. The author shows that numerous traditional theologians in the last 900 years have in fact taken issue with Maimonides' principles, both in their details as well as with regard to certain fundamental points in Maimonides formulation.
It is commonly asserted that Maimonides' famous Thirteen Principles are the last word in Orthodox Jewish theology. This is a very popular notion, and is often repeated by scholars from all camps in Judaism. Yet such a position ignores the long history of Jewish theology in which Maimonides' principles have been subject to great dispute.
The book begins with a discussion of the significance of the principles and illustrates how they assumed such a central place in traditional Judaism. Each of the principles is then considered in turn; the reasons underlying Maimonides' formulation are expounded and the disputes that have arisen concerning them are discussed in detail. Marc B. Shapiro's authoritative analysis makes it quite clear that the notion that Maimonides principles are the last word in traditional Jewish theology is a misconception, and that even Maimonides himself was not fully convinced of every aspect of his formulation.At the Yeshiva University's Seforim Sale, run by the Student Organization of Yeshiva (SOY) a featured lecture was given by Marc B. Shapiro who wrote the above book.
So my MO friends at YU make up your mind is the Rambam insignificant or not?

PARIS (AP) - 1200 cars were torched last night, the 12th straight night of violence across the country. Public buildings were attacked and there were direct clashes between rioters and police.
French officials aren't calling in the army yet. They are sending in police reinforcements and considering curfews. The violence started after the deaths of teenagers in Paris October 27th.
Also over heard was the Amshinover ambassador who referred to France as
"that shitty frog leg eating country" and wondered aloud why the world had to be dragged into World War II on account of it.

"Such is the richness of European culture, even its decadence is creative. Since 1945 it has produced the truly remarkable phenomenon of anti-Semitism without Jews. How does Europe do that?" - George F. Will
