We ordinarily are not readers of Jewlicious blog so you may have to forgive us for thinking this ironic. An anonymous poster "themiddle" unleashed today a tirade against Raphael Golb for what? For, among other things, for anonymous posting! Just to be clear, we don't approve at all of what Golb is a...

Daphne Merkin, sister of the Ezra Merkin, used to be the controversial one of the Merkin kids, some would say the black sheep of the family, because she wrote embarras...

Let me be clear in my sincere desire to want to praise the student newspaper at Yeshiva University for the article, "Who Runs YU? How Trustees Are Selected At YU and Universities Across The Country," by Elie Friedman, Daniel Goldmintz and Noach Lerman. The writers tried to put together a thoughtful ...
