J.A.Y. plays into the social liberal game

One of the great lies in our society is that if you are right-wing on discrimination against the majority population, you will probably be (very) right-wing on economic issues.

I could give you plenty of examples of people who are not like that, but the real issue is that it ignores the divide that has existed between the Great Societyniks and the New Dealers since racial Marxism ascended.

Kvetcher Exclusive! Haredi Defense Positions Consensual Mixed Dancing as Proof of Sexual Abuse

Porn is more acceptable to the haredi than mixed dancing

There is a joke in Modern Orthodox circles that the rabbis banned upright sexual intercourse because “it can lead to mixed dancing.”

Unfortunately, as the apparent smear by Moses Greenfield and his lawyer Peretz Bronstein demonstrates (because we really need more proof that the haredim are challenged when it comes to ethics or sexual issues), the ultra-Orthodox truly appear to view mixed dancing as worse than non-penetrating pedophilia.

The haredi must be starved out

Israel’s government does not and will not have the political muscle to say no to the haredi. But if the Israeli government has no cash to support the haredi, the haredi will receive no handouts.

It is past time to stop supporting the haredi.

And yet, the ultra-Orthodox world is mobilizing to maintain their way of life. A life devoid of vocation or ambition for almost an entire segment of the Israeli haredi population.

What do you think…

……of mandating a long-term, state-sponsored, reversible birth control procedure for those seeking extensive government benefits for their second child (excluding child illnesses, special situations, etc.)?

Keep in mind, they don’t have to take the government benefits. And they could wise-up after (or before) their first child and use non-invasive birth control techniques.

Steinlight Editorial in NY Jewish Week

First Steinlight Op-Ed printed in mainstream Jewish periodical since HIAS Smear Email Campaign

Stephen Steinlight’s “Cherem” Revoked by Results of Zogby Poll

Welp…it looks like some of our social-Left co-religionists are going to be SHOCKED, APPALLED, and even HORRIFIED as it has become clear that Steinlight is OUT OF CHEREM!

Nothing like being vindicated by a Zogby poll to make you look a LOT less “extreme.”

Rabbi Natan Slifkin on Cross Currents

In the comments section, Cross Currents has posted a comment by Rabbi Natan Slifkin. Rabbi Slifkin, of course, was targeted by Tropper for bans and slander for embracing science that contradicts the New Earth policy of the haredim.

Tropper’s downfall should be taken as a warning by all haredim tempted to deny the imprint of God because of the nonsensical worship of rabbis, or Avodas Gedoylim.

Baal Teshuvahs are happier when they are poor

See? The Orthodox Union and Big Kiruv are just trying to make people happy, and their own poll proves that the baal teshuvah is happier and less “at risk” ;) when he is poor.

The reputation of Orthodox Jews is so bad…

…that one baal teshuvah is resorting to this:

I am a ba’al teshuva of some 30 years.[...]

Soon, I will need to appear before a board of medical examiners who will rule on my application for a disability pension. In years past I would never have considered this, but, I will NOT wear my yarmulke (and I am considering shaving my beard for the interview). I fear that it will hurt my chances before the board, whose members might assume that as an Orthodox Jew I am faking it in order to get an undeserved benefit.

Frum has become synonymous with scam artist.

Instead of focusing on underage and college recruitment, Big Kiruv should stick to outreach towards those that are most appropriate for their way of life, and comb the prisons for converts the way the Muslims do.

It will be an easier transition for them into Orthodox culture and mores.

Can anyone verify if this criminal is Orthodox?

So it’s Monday. A new week has started, and a new month.

And you know what that means — time for another ring of Orthodox thieves to be busted stealing from the gentiles!

So my questions is…can anyone verify that Rav Marvin Berkowitz is indeed Orthodox? Also, which sect does he belong to? I would like to know which sect he belongs to, thanks!

Sorry, one more! Have to start the month out strong, guys! And this criminal is a woman, but she won’t have to wear an ankle bracelet, because she is too frum.

And support Aish HaTorah! Orthodox Jewish morality is the greatest morality that man has at his disposal. There is no morality that is as pure. Can you think of anything better for the country or the world than for all Jews to become ultra-Orthodox tomorrow? It would be a utopia.

Confirmed: Criminal is Orthodox.

Big Aish Blames True Culprit of Unremitting Orthodox Scandals: American Culture

And the culprit is…MATERIALISM! American materialism is the villain. That is what is ensnaring ultra-Orthodox Jew after ultra-Orthodox Jew. Blame Madison Avenue, not the yeshivas.

It’s not the disrespect ultra-Orthodox Jews are taught for the laws of the land. Rather, it’s American materialism.

Rabbi Yitz Greenman, a very high ranking Aish Kiruvnik, explains,
