Frum Satire: It’s time for me to blog about more positive things and make a kiddush Hashem
I feel the need to respond to two hate mail messages I received over Facebook last week.
Some people only have one single theme – yours seems to be mockery and scorn of your own family – Jews. Particularly & peculiarly religious Jews; I guess ...

Frum Satire: I shushed someone in shul yesterday
My theory on people shushing others for talking in shul is that they’re just jealous of those talking and having a grand old time in the back row. If they had true kavannah they wouldn’t notice anyone talking, they say that Rav Moshe’s f...

Frum Satire: Ben and Jerry’s introduces Gadol themed ice cream
Thanks to my old yeshiva mate Moty Raven for coming up with this piece of brilliance, so brilliant, yet possibly offensive to most folks including me who hold much of the alter daas Torah in high esteem. My favorite pieces of mussar are the fictional biog...

Frum Satire: Dear Heshy: Hating on BT’s will not solve any problems
Dear Heshy,
I follow you on facebook fairly regularly and noticed your post on what you hate about baalei teshuva. Now before all of your fans jump me for being offended by something you wrote, I read your site and facebook page regularly and find most of...

Frum Satire: Frum Propaganda
Frum. It’s a word we all use, but what does it mean? Well, literally, it means “devout” or “pious” – from the German word “fromm”. But more important than what it means literally, what does it mean to us and, moreover, how important is...

Frum Satire: My problem with Women of the Wall is that I agree with both sides
I’ve been hearing about the women of the wall thing for years now, the gut reaction of any frum Jew is to be outraged. These women are just picking a fight, how can they use the holiest place of the Jews to stage their public protest? Did they expec...

Frum Satire: Halachic questions: Is hot boxing considered yichud?
Dear Heshy,
As marijuana becomes more acceptable in the frum community (I knew we’d catch up someday) I have begun writing “must be 420 friendly” on my shidduch resumes and online dating accounts. I find that most shadchanim have no idea...

Frum Satire: 10 things that don’t lead to mixed dancing
People like to claim that anything that isn’t super frum leads to mixed dancing, but I fervently disagree with this projection. Yes, having a low mechitza at a shul with a woman rabbi doing a Carlebach shabbos while high on some good herb may lead t...

Frum Satire: Modesty Hotline: Here come the honor killings
Television was easy to deal with, you didn’t need it for work, you could hardly justify it as an educational tool, and there were plenty of folks like me who had bumper stickers that said “kill your television”. The internet is different...
