When your house gets hit my a missile everyone thinks that your immediate reaction must be gratitude to God to be alive. In reality, you just start making a shit list of everyone who hasn't reached out to you to see if you need anything. (I am ok)

@DBashIdeas @Historycourses I realized that I associated "serious" orthodoxy (AKA people who know how to learn) with the yeshiva world and pleasant shabbat divrei torah with modern orthodoxy. I think this happens to a lot of teenagers.

@DBashIdeas @Historycourses I can't really overstate how unusual I found it when Rabbeim from MO/DL yeshivot came to recruit at Skokie. These people could read a tosfos without a velvet kipa. It was shocking to 17 year old me.

The story of the evolution of the American yeshivish community and how it took over the American Orthodox establishment is one that really needs to be told

@DBashIdeas I dont understand modern orthodox If someone told you they were paying you $1000 a minute to learn torah for the next week and then it stops and then you can enjoy the money would you not spend every waking hour learning? Would you watch goyim kick around a ball?

@DBashIdeas I was in Gush the year of the Tyree catch. I didn't watch it. It was the first super bowl I ever missed (I wasn't learning). I think it was important as a future israeli sports fan to understand that you're not going to be able to keep sports as a huge priority in your life.

@DBashIdeas Skokie Yeshiva has a plaque for someone named Harry Sex in the beis medrash and let me tell you, when you’re 15 that’s just about the funniest thing you can imagine.

For Jews, the Messiah is not merely a person to await, but the unshakeable faith that we are destined for redemption.

@DBashIdeas @mycr_karenina I think the flaw here is that it really believes there's a world where everyone can thrive in Orthodoxy. There are people who the system doesn't work for, and no amount of education or understanding can really change that. Mourn the fact people don't know what theyre rejecting

I’ve struggled myself with whether this messaging is inherently patronizing. I’m not so sure. Is it problematic for people to believe one lifestyle is generally better than another or lament general religious apathy? I understand it may come off judgmental but I think there’s also a way this can expressed and received sincerely. But again could be my retrospective bias. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@GilStudent @TimesofIsrael This is what secular readers know him for. And that’s kinda his fault. Don’t call us “worse than nazis” and expect a glowing obituary 🤷‍♂️

This is disgusting. Shame on @TimesofIsrael. The rabbi was a global leader of the Sephardic community and a lifetime teacher of Torah. This is what they highlight?

@daniellebett This seems like a deliberately uncharitable reading. I also would not start a sentence with "Even in Nazi Germany" but she's not giving them brownie points

A child approached Rav Ruderman with Gedolim Cards. “You’re one of the gedolim,” the child told him. “Me?!” Rav Ruderman responded, “I’m not a Gadol.” Kid showed Rav Ruderman his Gedolim cards. Rav Ruderman rifled through the cards. “Taka,” he smiled, “I am a Gadol.”
