פסק הדין בעניין גיורי הרב דרוקמן - עכשיו באינטרנט
http://ravtzair.blogspot.com/2008/05/blog-post_08.htmlפסק הדין השערוריתי שהוציא לאחרונה בית הדין הרבני העליון מפורסם כעת באינטרנט וניתן להורידו כאן. על אף שמסתבר שהראשל"צ הג"ר שלמה עמאר ימצא את הדרך לבטל פסק דין זה או בעצמו או בעזרת הבג"ץ, סביר להניח שפסק-דין זה יהווה נקודת שבירה ביחסי

kvetch \KVECH\, intransitive verb: To complain habitually. noun: 1. A complaint 2. A habitual complainer. — The Kvetcher
http://kvetcher.netare mystic fundamentalists who lack a basic respect for hygiene?” The answer is…the Metziza b’ pehniks don’t’ wash their hands properly because they are more interested in wiping off the evil spirits than actual shmutz. Failed Messiah explains, So the cup is used to remove evil spirits that somehow will not come off with regular hand washing. People could try to get around this health problem (a.k.a. a sakana) by first washing their hands with soap and water and then washing ritually.

Rabbi Aviner Says Women Should Not Wear Pajamas
http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=2875I guess lingerie would be more appropriate? I better not let Emma see this story or she’ll think Judaism is stupid.

Conversion Crisis Boils Over

Israel Jewish News
http://israeljewishnews.blogspot.com; revoking the conversion of a woman who converted 15 years ago; and authorizing the annulment of conversions of anyone who has not continued to be Shomer Mitzvot. (The full decision, in Hebrew, may be found HERE. Thanks go to Failedmessiah.com for posting the link!) The first story, reported by Ha'aretz, claims that Chief Sephardic Rabbi, Shelomo Amar, will reverse the decision of the court and declare that the conversions are valid. According the report,

Emes me-eretz Titzmach
http://myobiterdicta.blogspot.com/2008/05/emes-ligt-in-drerd...claim that that was never the upshot of the decision by R. Attiyah of Ashdod, or of R. Sherman of the Bet Din Ha-Rabbani ha-Gadol. However, now it appears that Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar is trying to overturn the verdict of R. Sherman. Failed Messiah has linked to another of R. Sherman's projects: Cancelling a Conference for the Amelioration of the Plight of Agunot, a year and a half agoi. According to Haaretz (taken grano cum salis): Rabbis cancel conference on 'chained women'

If I were Jewish, I’d be pretty upset.
http://tehn00bzerrebbe.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/if-i-were-je...From the glass-half-full perspective, maybe Israel will start getting a little respect from other nations in the Middle East, now that its democracy has been hijacked by ridiculous fundamentalists. Good commentary on this issue here and here. I think this would qualify as a Shanda fur die Goyim, if they paid attention to such shenanigans. You heard me. I call shenanigans. Bonus Question: If I’m not technically Jewish, according to standards of the High Rabbinic Court, is my
