I was talking to a frum-from-birth friend the other day who feel "disconnected" from Judaism. She’s not davening every day, she’s not saying blessings all the time when she eats, she’s not learning Torah regularly and she’s not attending shul regularly. How can you ...

I know rabbis who are all over-joyed by the sincerity of the goyim they are converting to the one true faith. What gets me is that these rabbis actually believe what these potential converts tell them about their motives for conversion. The rabbis want to be flattered in themselves and in their fait...

this list? A goy. Joe emails: “The Markopolos testimony was completely devastating. You are too young, but he had the tenor and the ability to answer a question before it was answered that John Dean had in the Watergate matter. He came right out and said that this was a fund that was based on ...

Here’s an email getting forwarded around Jewish circles: "Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler’s time? He writes, "I AM A JEW — therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing." Nowhere have th...

They prey on you everywhere. You go to shul and they hit you up for money. You sit at home and they knock at your door and ask for money.

Ever since I switched my phone service to Time-Warner, I’ve had horrible audio quality. Any phone call is a headache inducing collection of snaps, crackles and pops. Today is no exception. Luke: "Why did you write this book?" David: "To ingratiate myself with fellow Jews." ...

I’ve been studying Torah with various Orthodox rabbis. I did some of that this afternoon. I love it but I also hate it because I can’t go out and do what I want as easily. It’s less and less fun to sin these days. How can I go paint Pico-Robertson red when I have to face certain pe...

Are you Shomer Mitzvas? Shomer Shabbos? I assume yes but I am asking. Why do you feel like an outsider in the LA orthodox community? You have mentioned this in your videos and on the blog. I understand your respect, fascination and admiration of Orthodoxy and the community but why do you feel isolat...

From the New York Daily News: Long before the first rapper stopped snitching or any Mafiosi swore an oath of omertà, there was the Jewish law of mesira. The tenet that forbids Jews from informing on fellow Jews is one of the hurdles facing Brooklyn prosecutors probing the April 14 attack on a...

I wake up Saturday morning with a tickle in my throat. What’s she doing here? I contemplate skipping motzei Shabbat karaoke but don’t want to leave the boyfriend in the lurch. Poor man. Without me, he’d be stuck in a dark place with a dozen hot chix. I could not do that to a fellow...
