Judaism contributed to Western Civilization. But we are not of Western civilization. Jews are not westerners. We are also not Orientals. We are Jews.
Western civilization began in ancient Greece, you idiot. The Torah is a fundamentally eastern book. Science, nature, and philosophy are unknown to it. Christianity, by contrast, is a western religion. In Aquinas, for instance, you see a serious attempt to grapple with the…
People shouldn’t be surprised that antisemitism is rising again. The post-war order is collapsing, and tolerance of Jews was always going to be one of the first things to go.
I think Israel is far too kind to its enemies.
BREAKING: The IDF brought dozens of international journalists to the Kerem Shalom crossing today—inside Gaza. They saw it with their own eyes: hundreds of aid trucks approved by Israel, just sitting there, undelivered.
The Jewish response to tragedy is always the same: “Get married! Have kids!”
The contrast is striking. The world will look very different in 20 years.
I will say this to Macron: 100 years hence, Hebrew will be spoken in the streets of Israel. French will not be spoken in the streets of France.
When I first came to yeshiva, there was this Iranian guy from LA who used to make Shabbat meals for guys out of his own pocket. He introduced me to the wonders of Iranian Jewish food. A lot of lemon, a ridiculous amount, but very good.
If I were to do something with Jewish history, for example… a podcast, would there be interest in something like this?
Neoliberal capitalism sells out the nation, the land, and everything valuable to the highest bidder. The fat cats in suits who gouge housing and property prices are not friends of the Right. The sooner we realize this, the better.
The religious are not ready to rule Israel. Not the Haredim. Not the Dati Leumi. They have no idea what it takes to run a government.
The pendulum swings, the power shifts, the Americans acknowledgement of the societal move to the religious-Right. We are 10 years away, I tell you.
Legit question: Is it just me, or are women more prone to being revolutionary than men? I feel like every single girl I’ve spoken to is some sort of radical.
1. Polygamy is not “nature”. 2. Even IF it was, it is the goal of man to conquer his baser urges, not to succumb to them. 3. Polygamy is bad for the society, as many studies have pointed out. I am again calling for my fellow men to fall love and find THE ONE.
Monogamy is a man-made illusion sold as morality. Polygamy is nature. Animals do it. Ancient kings institutionalized it. Entire cultures built legacies on it. But now we shame it while secretly cheating, lying and juggling side pieces,pretending monogamy makes us evolved.
Dear antisemites, we offer a compromise. You have to stop persecuting all Jews, BUT you can persecute Shmuely Boteach all you want. We also think he’s terrible. Deal?
Retard of the day 🏆
Big corporations pushed identity politics in order to shift worker’s agitation away from living wages towards “inclusivity” while living standards continued to get worse for everyone.
What's a conspiracy theory you believe with your whole heart?
capitalism co-opted the feminist movement to push the narrative that women in the workforce is empowering so they could quietly make it almost impossible to live off of a single income, forcing parents to take a back seat in educating their kids and send their children to public…

I one time received a Rebbe dollar from a very nice lady who used to help distribute them around the time I first became religious. I then proceeded to lose it…
Share a piece of Jewish lore about yourself
One of my craziest pipe dreams is to eventually re-green Judea and Samaria. Have it be lush with forests, with animals, with gazelles and lions. It’s not supposed to be a desert, it’s supposed to be alive.
International law is a joke Anyone appealing to it is naive or a cynical manipulator
