Yesterday my blog was a victim of Google’s SpamBot going out of control, today, it’s a victim of Sitemeter combined with Internet Explorer. If you are having trouble seeing this site using Internet Explorer 7.0, so are thousands of other people who visit sites that use SiteMeter on their blogs. I use the FireFox 3.0 Browser and this site renders FAST and QUICK without any errors...

Requisites to Religiosity
I realize that this post is vague; I have chosen to make it innocuous on purpose – because the damage to me by this JBlogger is already done. I write this in response to a personal conflict between me and one JBlogger who prides himself on his Orthodoxy and great fame on the internet. I am hoping that he will one day realize that Hashem judges us for our moral choices, not by how popular...
I’m home!
Hi everyone, I’m home! I was in the hospital for the last six days having come down with a pretty severe bacterial infection in my tummy. I’m home now and still mending, but it looks like I’m going to be ok. I can’t tell you how much your kind words, wishes, prayers, and concern meant to me; they helped me think positive thoughts and I couldn’t wait to be able to go...

Haveil Havalim #150 is up today
Haveli Havilim #150 is up today at Soccer Dad. As always, there are some great posts from all around the JBlogosphere, but I especially want to bring your attention to this collection of Abuse of Power posts, that articulate how, under Olmert’s fascist government, Israel has morphed into a dictatorship, where no Jew is safe from speaking out against the Israeli government. Bloggers beware...
All JBloggers are not the same
I very much enjoy reading A Simple Jew, and it’s one of the few blogs that I visit on a regular basis. This morning I stumbled upon this post at A Simple Jew, Used Properly, which is a link to an article on Yeshiva World by Rabbi Avi Shafran provocatively entitled Blogistan. Rabbi Shafran sums up Jblogs as anonymous as well as obnoxious, with personal opinion-diaries which display utter...
Old photos
Do you ever look at old photos and stare into the faces of each person in the photo, and wonder where all the time has gone? Do you ever look at some of those old photos and gasp at how some of the people in them are now dead? Did you ever look at old photos of New York and wonder what life was like back then, when men would nod and tip their hats in greeting to women on the street? Sometimes it...
Great Satan’s Girlfriend
I had to reprint this comment from one of the most astute and intelligent bloggers I have come across in years. Courtney, owner of the political savvy and astounding GreatSatan’sGirlfriend, wrote the following comment on my site in response to my post about the establishment of The New Jewish Congress which was launched in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Folks, your must acquaint yourselves with...
