Wolfish Musings: July 2014
http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 03, 2014. To Every Thing There is a Season, and a Time to Every Purpose Under the Heaven. My parents raised me to believe that one must take the feelings of others into account when speaking and doing things. Before you open your mouth to speak, think about how the message is going to be received on the other end. Is this the right thing to say - and, if it is, is it the right time/place to say it? For living in such an unsafe area. I understand (even if I don't agree) with the Satmar Rebb...

Wolfish Musings: March 2014
http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch in my life. Things aren't exactly going according to plan in various circles of my life and, truth to tell, it's been getting me down of late. I sometimes (probably selfishly) bemoan (largely to myself) how my life isn't exactly the rose garden I thought it would be. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Join My Facebook Group.

Friday, August 02, 2013. Look In The Mirror Rabbi Birnbaum. In the Yated, Rabbi Avrohom Birnbaum finds himself in search of “Ahavat Chinam.”. He laments the fact that the American Modern Orthodox community expresses “unprecedented enmity” towards the Chareidi. Community. According to him, we have Ahavat Chinam.

Wolfish Musings: June 2014
http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 01, 2014. When Quoting Pesukim (Bible Verses) Is Heretical. I suppose it's one thing to be afraid of heretical ideas (supposed or actual) that might cause one to lose faith in their principles. It's not an approach I approve of (I was never a believer in burying your head in the sand), but it is one which is common in yeshivish circles. Take, for example, the recent thread titled What exactly did we get on Shavuos? In the thread, one person stated the following:. Sh'mos chapter 16 (the chapt...

Wolfish Musings: HaMevaser Fails At Journalistic Ethics
http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2015/01/hamevaser-fails-at-journalistic-ethics.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2015. HaMevaser Fails At Journalistic Ethics. Once again, the Chareidi news is in the news. There has been quite a bit of discussion in the past about the deletion of women from pictures in some Chareidi publications. The issue has come up yet again as HaMevaser, a paper published by MK Meir Porush, deleted the females from the picture of world leaders. Who assembled in Paris to protest the recent violence there.

Wolfish Musings: A Lashon Hara Video That Completely Misses The Point.
http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-lashon-hara-video-that-completely.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. A Lashon Hara Video That Completely Misses The Point. A YouTube video was recently released dealing with the dangers of telling Lashon HaRah on the internet. However, the video completely misses the point and fails to identify the real problem. First of all, here's the video:. It seems to be made up of people who are. 8211; busybodies (whose business is it what the Rebbe or anyone else in the community buys at the butcher ). 8211; unable to be dan l’kaf z’chus.

Wolfish Musings: December 2013

Monday, December 23, 2013. Wages And Attitudes In Lakewood. Of late, I've begun reading the Coffee Room section of the Voice of Lakewood. In it's pages, various issues of importance to the residents of Lakewood are debated back and forth. The current "hot issue" is whether or not the elementary schools should translate Chumash into Yiddish, even if the kids don't understand it. But that's not the issue that brings me back to my blog today. I would like to know when everyone will realize that cleaning lad...

http://wolfishmusings.blogspot.com/2014/02/fighting-smoking-is-battle-worth.html
Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Fighting Smoking Is A Battle Worth Fighting. Rabbi Yair Hoffman wrote a recent editorial (publish on 5TJT. And republished on YWN. About the dangers of smoking among our youth. He starts out with an over-the-top picture of a young widow-to-be who is losing her husband to cancer because he smoked when he was younger. Yes, it's a sappy scenario, but the bottom line is that smoking does kill. It's really that simple. Whom the younger bochrim. He goes on to state:. Having been i...
