Clicked on this guy Kahns attempt at Torah. So his maskana is based on the fact that beis din doesn’t exercise coercion in some matters of Ishus, so somehow that supports not telling someone the Halacha. LOL good stuff.
Were you around last year when Natan and his ilk were bemoaning the reversal of Roe v. Wade? He made three or four posts on the subject. There might not even be a next generation of Modox given their exuberant support of abortion.
All your articles/posts or whatever you call them all have the same theme. You briefly preface that you are not generalizing about all DL or modern orthodox but you spend 99% of the rest of your article demonizing most of modern orthodoxy. All written with righteous indignation.
I recommend reading your posts/articles if someone can’t fall asleep but doesn’t want to pop a sleeping pill.
This is not serious …right??? It’s so arrogant & ignorant …and small minded …and uninformed …and DANGEROUS.
We Yiddin lost the Bes HaMikdash & Eretz Yisrael over sinas chinam. This is an ugly “modern” example of an age-old internal Jewish problem. Please stop producing elitist, mean-spirited, mocking, self-aggrandizing, monolithic, philistine foolishness - this is not good for the Jewish people.
“Who is going to cook, bake, clean, do the laundry, take care of the children, nurse the baby, change the diapers, make Shabbos1 - if the wife/mother is out all day and night at the kollelet??? “
Don’t Charedi women work and make a parnassa for their husbands in kollel?
Basically, when the Rambam wrote that the problem of learning torah for women is because they will bring the dvarim to divrei havai, this was another example of the great left-wing Maimonides foreseeing way ahead of his times - that anybody can decide to be a women...
"Sami Gubin from Dallas focused on the symbolism in the Mishkan and the application of those symbols as a paradigm for the optimal Jewish experience."
Are you not aware that many rishonim and acharonim do the same? The torah is eternal and speaks to every generation. If you can't find clear specific messages in our day in the hundreds of pesukim dealing with the mishkan you have missed the point of learning torah.
What have you got against 'Jewish magic in the Roman Bathhouse' exactly? You were telling me the other day that all that type of material in gemorroh is emes l'emito, torah sh'pal peh, and there is no scientific evidence whatsoever against it.
Great post! I once saw a "Torah" journal put out by a midreshet for women rabbis, maybe it was Lindenbaum, I don't recall, and it was filled with the funniest Purim Torah I've ever seen in my life! One common theme was that every "teshuva" was extremely obvious exactly where it would be going just by reading the question without even reading any of the actual teshuva! Chazal knew exactly what they were saying when they said כל המלמד בתו תורה כאילו מלדה תפלות!
I know I'm late to this "party," but wow. I've never understood how there exist people who seem to have learned at least a little Torah but still manage to display clearly horrendous middos which they'll inevitably claim is l'shem shamayim (for more examples, see the comments section at The Yeshiva World and several of the comments below). To display a photograph of real life young women and color on them and comment publicly on their tznios (you should avoid the cities their fathers live in), then launch an ugly, mean-spirited attack on the recently-deceased Rav Kahn Z"L and many others (do you think his bereaved family or the other targets of this piece would find your blog light-hearted satire?), and then spend the rest of the piece mocking other's people writings is low enough, but to then have the gall to comment about the challenges of being mechanech one's children? Given the fact that the blogger claims women shouldn't learn Torah because it won't give them time to make kugel but implies they CAN work in order to support their kollel husbands, seemingly unaware of the obvious contradiction there, I don't expect them to be cognizant of all the unintentional irony, ignorance, and gaivah in their post , but I hope everyone else sees it for the filth it is. He loudly mocks the writings of these female scholars, but anyone who reads their work and then reads this shtus shouldn't have any doubt as to which actually reflects a spirit of Torah and yiras shamayim.
This poster seems to think that the only valid Limmud HaTorah is only when learning a Tosfos, done in his way and style. Actually Torah is much deeper and broader than one style. vchu'
After reading the article, one would indeed conclude that MO is secular. After all, female MO rabbis must be the cornerstone of MO.
Or are MO female rabbis, and MO women studying to be rabbis it but a fringe group that mainstream MO organizations have shunned and reguse to tecognize?!
For comparison, perhaps Happy can supply the necessary statistics and facts.
Which major/mainstream MO rabbinic organizations refuse to give women semichah and name the major MO rabbinic groups that do?
What is the total number of MO yeshivot/seminaries in the US and how many ordain women?
What is the total number of students in MO yeshivot that refuse to ordain women and the total number of women in yeshivot that do?
What is the total number of MO rabbanim and how many are female MO rabbis?
What is the total number of semichot since 2000 and how many were women?

Wow בזיון תלמידי חכמים in it's highest form

Rabbi Moshe Kahn just passed a way a few weeks ago. Even if you disagree with him it would probably be most respectful to hold off on mocking him now.
It is actually more serious to refer to an entire group without specifying an individual.
WADR, I don't think that we should treat this shigaon as a joke.
These people are misleading many ignorant yidden, who don't know any better.
