Loshon hora | Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/loshon-horah
February 23, 2010. Posted by qvashty in OJ schooling. 8221; The irony that this code word referred to non-kosher packaged food was lost on everyone, and “u-oh, Spaghettio! 8221; it was to be. Of course no one ever used it, and loshon horah is the matzah u-maror of of OJ girls and women, if I do say so myself. This certainly encouraged us to change our underwear under the bedsheets for modesty’s sake. And we learned that embarrassing someone is akin to murder. 1 sarah - February 23, 2010.

Run on the Big Evil Banks | Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2010/12/24/run-on-the-big-evil-banks
Run on the Big Evil Banks. December 24, 2010. Posted by qvashty in politics. I have been too busy with work and worry to write anything in a long time. What is happening to the economy has been particularly upsetting to me both as a well-informed intellectual type and as a person whose family is suffering the consequences. But there is one thing that you have the power to do about it, even when Obama and your Senators have sold you out to the billionaires. Overdraft on occasion, but they don’t char...

Tuesday, November 01, 2005. What made you become ba'al tshuvas? What made you want to pack it in? Well, I'm up first, as it is my blog after all. My name is BTA. I've been a BT for several years now. I've gone from an atheistic background to frum to right back where I started. Can a leopard change its spots? I was drawn to observance because of my first Shabbos experiences. I liked the family closeness. I liked the absence of electronic stuff ringing and beeping and transfixing me for a whole day. So if ...

Monday, November 14, 2005. Cross-Currents aka: "From Russia with Kiruv". We live in trying times. There are a lot of mixed messages out there. Sometimes, as Marshall McLuhan famously said, "The medium is the message." We orthodox (style) jews have a history of strongly-worded, passionate debates laid out in tapestry format in the talmud. Http:/ www.zootorah.com/controversy/SLIFKINARTICLE.doc. The best known Orthodox Rabbi blog is Cross-Currents. http:/ www.cross-currents.com/. Cross-currents also has Rab...

Thursday, November 24, 2005. Hirsch's Nineteen Letters- A Model of Honest Kiruv that the Clowns Should Live By- Pt I. In my post the The 20th Letter. I made reference to Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch's famous work, The Nineteen Letters. The book was written in the 19th century to address the so-called enlightened Jews of Germany who had left the fold of orthodoxy. Thus, this book is perhaps the first "kiruv" book! Correct me if I'm wrong, Mississippi Fred. Specious arguments such as Gosse theory. Next, if th...

Friday, November 11, 2005. Guest Post from King Rebbe Godol Hador, shlita [a parody]. 7th of Cheshvan, 5766. BTA- I have chosen your site to do a guest blog on because there have been previous Rebbe's who made the mistake of failing to appoint successors. I will not make the same mistake as I go to the olam ha emes (or at least while I'm bucking for a promotion at work or watching The O.C. with the Rebbetzin). But, I'm not appointing you my successor either, you wacked-out BT! DovBear- Do not be a taleBe...

Details: The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl | Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/details-the-rise-of-the-hot-jewish-girl
Details: The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl. December 15, 2009. Posted by qvashty in feminism/gender. I posted a while back on Jewish sexuality in America and how I thought Jewish women have been desexualized here. I came across an article which disagrees. Here it is. Since I posted on Jewish sexuality, my WordPress stats have shown me that I do get the occasional visit from people whose internet searches are apparently for Jewish porn. December 15, 2009. By far the best part of that article:. Unpious: News...

Wednesday, November 09, 2005. BT's skeptical Family Members- Chizuk Like the Old-Time Anti-semites? It's been said that anti-semitism has kept the Jews together through the ages. There's the famous story of the Rabbis debating whether to root/pray for Napoleon to be victorious in Russia during his campaign there. A famous Russian rabbi (an early Chabad rebbe? Said he would pray for the czar ( a wicked anti-semite). Well, you guessed it, the Rabbi chose to pray for that anti-semitic bastard Czar. Why?
