Anonymous asked: So, what exactly do you think about the whole ordeal in Beit Shemesh? I wasn't exactly sure by what you've posted in response to it, but could you clear the ambiguity? I'm a Jew but personally I'm appalled by the behaviour I've heard about in Beit Shemesh.

A solution for Ramat Beit Shemesh
I think there should be a big kiddush in a local park this shabbos, with all residents of the city required to attend. The ladies of the city on one side, the men on the other. Let the women swap recipes, stories about their children, stories about their latest excursions to the mall, doctor or shiur or whatever it is woman talk about, while the men talk about the parsha, the current daf or...

A Hanukkah Miracle
By: David Lev
An observant IDF soldier may have prevented a major terrorist attack in a large Israeli city, in what soldiers and commanders called a “Hanukkah miracle.” An Arab terrorist who may have been on his way to the town of Har Bracha in central Samaria, was nabbed Tuesday morning when an IDF soldier arrested him, finding two large pipe bombs on his person.

Defender of Israel: Parshas Mikeitz →
defenderofisrael:
In Parshas Vayechi, we read a blessing that Yaakov Avinu gives to his grandsons Ephraim and Menashe:
בך יברך ישראל לאמר ישמך אלקים כאפרים וכמנשה
By you, Israel shall bless, saying “May G-d make you like Ephraim and Menashe”
Many commentators ask why we bless our children to be like…

פרשת מקץ
In this week’s Parsha, Joseph’s brothers leave the famine stricken Land of Canaan, in order to travel to Egypt to buy food.
Leaving the Land of Israel is serious, and not an issue to be taken lightly.
In fact, the Sages give 3 situations where it is permissible to leave the Land of Israel.
1. In order to learn Torah if one finds that he can learn better outside of Israel.
2.In...

To all of Am Yisrael, and to all of the world, chag sameach. Through the holy lights of Chanukah, may Hashem bless us with the light of Mashiach. May G-d bring us the geula, and with it peace for Am Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael, and peace and joy for all His creations.
May we all have a happy and healthy Chanukah. Chag Sameach!

However, I've been interested in Judaism for almost my entire life and I've been seriously considering actually converting. What do you know about the requirements of one to consider? I read you are Orthodox but do...

Quote Of The Day The separation of genders on the bus is superfluous. It is idiocy and it does not stem from the fear of God… You should keep your hassidus to yourselves, lower your eyes to the ground. Somebody who is uncomfortable sitting near women, he should get up and leave….

Channukah Dvar Torah
Tonight, we will be lighting the second candle on the Chanukiah. When most of us think of Channukah, we think of Dreidels, doughnuts and menorahs. However, people often neglect one of the main elements of the Chag – the history behind it and the assimilation of the Hellenised Jews. One of the unfortunate victories of the Greeks, was their ability to influence the Jews to abandon their customs and...
