Neandershort: December 2006
http://neandershort.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
A practicing Jew disenchanted with the Orthodox establishment, with a lot on his mind and the need to speak truth to power. Saturday, December 23, 2006. My grade school principal was fond of telling us that "everything has a Jewish angle." How about last week's infamous brawl between the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden? Collins slaps a headlock on J.R. Smith. And flings him to the floor. So where's the Jewish angle? The object is to score points, and if the Knicks played l...

http://dorfberger.blogspot.com/2015/06/american-pharoah.html
Another forum for Orthodox Jewish thought on Halacha, Hashkafa, and sociological issues of our time. Monday, June 1, 2015. American Pharoah wins the Kentucky Derby ( New Jersey Jewish Standard.

The Lakewood Emes: January 2006
http://thelakewoodemes.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2006. Lakewood Hock- The Airport is up for sale again. The Lakewood Emes has heard that there is talk in town to develop 40 acres of the Airport for Office Buildings. The plan is being pushed by Rabbi Meyer Hertz and is a direct competition from the Cedar Bridge Project (BMG) . It has always been speculated that Rabbi Aron Kotler(NJ HAND) wanted the Airport for Affordable Housing. One wonders why Rabbi Hertz would go up against Rabbi Kotler? Please see article below.

Tzedek-Tzedek: Jonathan Rosenblum Defends Rabbis, Attacks Morris
http://tzedek-tzedek.blogspot.com/p/jonathan-rosenblum-defends-rabbis.html
Jonathan Rosenblum Defends Rabbis, Attacks Morris. Rabbis prefer to work behind the scenes due to a considered philosophy about what is best for victims. The piece portrayed two parents who bravely bucked "the stringent cultural norms" of their "tight-knit haredi community in Ramat Beit Shemesh" to seek redress for the alleged sexual abuse of their children. WHAT AROUSED MY SUSPICIONS? I have many friends in the English-speaking community of Ramat Beit Shemesh "Aleph" and know many of the communal rabbis...

http://tzedek-tzedek.blogspot.com/2015/07/unusual-fascinating-outing-national.html
Monday, 13 July 2015. Unusual and Fascinating - The National Library. At the request of my 15 year old son, this week we made a spontaneous and first ever Morris family visit to the Israel National Library - and had a (surprisingly, for me at least) fascinating time. The National Library is located in the Givat Ram Campus of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. My enthusiastic son led us to the Gershom Scholem Collection - described as the world's most extensive (35,000) collection of books on Chasidut an...

Tzedek-Tzedek: Is Life Like Waze?
http://tzedek-tzedek.blogspot.com/2015/07/is-life-like-waze.html
Monday, 20 July 2015. Is Life Like Waze? I was told an interesting parable by my daughter Avital, in the name of Rav Daniel Stavsky. This is an interesting approach to the old chestnut question how can we have freedom to choose, when God is all knowing and is in control of the whole world, down to the finest detail? Life is like Waze. (Waze is an Israeli-invented GPS and traffic management system). The beginning and end of each trip is defined. The optimal route is also mapped out for us. Bat Melech - Ce...
