Messianic Jews are not really considered part of the spectrum of mainstream Judaism...I wouldn't ascribe their beliefs and practices to Jews generally.

Somehow this is all Hillary Clinton's fault. #Ratghazi

Free, government-funded contraception?! Somebody tell Rush Limbaugh so we can see his head explode.

But rights do not always die with a person. If a person makes their wishes known during their lifetime (i.e., through a will), the law will protect that, even though the person is dead. Also, we have laws governing the proper treatment of dead bodies (laws against necrophilia, mutilating or mishandling a corpse, etc.)…

Totally do it! Who cares what rude jerks think, anyways? Also, for weddings, it is totally standard to put "Kindly respond by [date]" on the response card, so people have a clear deadline and can't waffle indefinitely.

Seriously, thank you for this comment. Domestic violence is not only a terrible epidemic that claims that lives of thousands of women in this country every single year, but it is also a serious crime. We might not understand or agree with a woman's choices, but the fact remains that the abuser is a dangerous, violent…

It sounds like a nightmare, plus who wants to spend their New Year's at someone else's wedding?! Holiday weddings are the worst. Someone I know got married on Thanksgiving this year. Just bizarre, and kind of inconsiderate for guests who want to spend the holiday with family.

The problem is that people wait until the last minute to make sure that no better invitations will come up, so someone who was invited to a party 2 weeks ago decides the day before that they will now grace you with their presence. As a host, it's rude and inconvenient, and people think they are being super subtle but…

What?! I've never heard of this as being part of niddah - a man can''t touch his wife, or (if they are very strict) accept a plate directly from her hand, but I am sure that frum women cook dinner for their husbands during niddah and everyone is fine. This sounds really fake to me.

This is pretty standard for wedding invitations in my community/circle of friends. You have an A-list and a B-list, and when people on the A-list respond no, you can invite people from your B-list. (And still with enough notice that they don't know they weren't original invitees - inviting someone to a wedding a week…

There is so much to hate here, but I got so distracted by this:

It's also funny because "Yahweh" is a phonetic reading of the biblical name of God in Hebrew, but it isn't pronounced that way by Jews/Hebrew speakers. Sounds very odd to my ear.

Hilariously comprehensive list! I wonder if he's employing ghostwriters yet; these books are absurdly formulaic, so it wouldn't be difficult.

Ok, that actually makes me feel better. I have an ok pain tolerance, but it's partly fear of the unknown that keeps me from going ahead with the nose piercing.

We need to bring this definition back! #misandry

is this you?

Interesting! I really want to get my nose pierced but I keep wussing out because I'm afraid it will hurt too much. (Haven't gotten anything pierced since my ears at age 8. Full disclosure: I cried.)

the bridge of your nose?! owwwww
