Whether it’s about conversion, gender issues, or any other of a host of contentious problems facing the Jewish world it seems that within the mainstream Orthodox community the strictest interpretations and rulings, rather than the most lenient, win out. This then has a damaging ripple effect for the Jewish community as a whole. To be sure there have always been differing views with regard both practice and religious outlook. In the Talmud often these disputes are resolved by following the majority opinion where often the lenient opinion was favored.

It seems so surreal. I have been watching the news that has been coming out of Mumbai, India in virtual horror. Any terror attack targeting innocent people is nothing short of evil. However, this attack has been especially troubling for more reasons than one. We have become accustomed to terror attacks that are over within a few moments. These attacks have lasted days instead of minutes. Those of us who are following the news coming out of Mumbai are witnessing horror happening in slow motion.

There are two types of Westerner’s who have been critical Israel’s defensive actions in Gaza this week: anti-Semites and some in the so-called Jewish intellectual elite. Whilst most non-Jews I have met over the last few days have expressed support for Israel’s actions I have run into a number of Jews who have expressed their moral outrage at the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

What is so shocking about Bernie Madoff is not that he is a gonif, there will always be thieves and cooks and we have all met our fair share of them. That he was able to crook people for so long without them realizing it is what I find most outrageous.

Below are some thoughts I have had on the Stimulus Package and what the unemployment level should really mean to us. President Obama will sign the $787 billion economic stimulus plan in Denver this Tuesday. This staggering spending plan is supposed to add 3.5 million jobs into the economy. In other words, we, the tax payer, are going to rehire all those who lost their jobs over the last thirteen months. Recommend this article... |
