Oh I know you're right, Spnadmin Ji. I'm just ashamed because it happened here. I was born and raised here, and I like to believe that NYC is a diverse and safe place in terms of race and religion. I suppose that hate and ignorance can happen anywhere, and that's just the sad reality:( And yes...

SEND A PRAYER OR NOTE TO PRABHJOT SINGH: http://action.groundswell-movement.org/petitions/send-a-prayer-or-note-to-prabhjot-singh-1

I cannot begin to articulate how upset, and worried for my friends (I live in NYC) I am at this moment:(

Shame on my city:(

This thread is making me realize how society has shaped me. I have internalized this influence of women removing body hair to the point of hypocracy. On one hand I sit here and wax/shave/pluck/laser off my body hair (an expensive and time consuming nightmare) in fear of what men will think, or...

That's interesting because I once had a GYN tell me not to shave my nether regions because "the hair is there to protect me". However, I stopped cutting the hair on my head about 1.5-2yrs ago (baby steps) and I've had talks with numerous hairdressers (I get Keratin treatments) about why I...

I read about this last year, happening to White girls. Now Sikh girls too. Apparently, this seems to be an epidemic in the UK. I hope the UK legal system is finally getting off it's politically correct behind and admitting to the problem and using a swift hand of justice. The families of these...

Of course, you know I LOVE this article - surprise, surprise. I have that "we are all Sikhs" shirt too, from doing the recent Seva day in rememberance of the Oak Creek tragedy. By the way, everyone, here's a few translations from the article: the word Yiddish word "mishigas" means crazyness (in...

Holocaust deniers are funny. I suppose that my family was just abducted by aliens, right? Oh, and my Grand Aunt and Uncle were dillusional the whole time they were in Auschwitz. When I was little, I thought that all old people lost thier teeth because my Grand Aunt and Uncle had dentures in...

C'mon, Gentlemen! Give us something more in detail about what you like! For example, something like "I look for women who are compassionate and empathetic towards others" or "someone intellectual and well-read". I'm just making stuff up, but you get the idea.

I have some purely aesthetic advice about your dhari. I'm a girl who struggles with my hair (on my head). Like many Jewish girls, I have naturally thick/wavy/curly/sometimes frizzy hair. I've gone through a variety of methods to straighten it out, but the one that is most effective and...

You're very welcome, spnadmin Ji! If you let me know what facet (i.e gender and religion, feminist progress in religion, secular and religious community relations) of the articles interests you most, I will share what I come across.

No worries, spnadmin Ji - I did not think you were quarreling with my assessment at all. I actually have been re-thinking the same way. My personal assessment came from my life experiences and observations about Judiasm as a whole. I also realize that I tend to view the Ultra Orthodox as...

Spnadmin Ji, I totally agree with everything you've written, excellent attitude to have! I'm not sure if it was clear in my post, but I was just giving my personal opinion as a woman who was born and raised Jewish:happykudi:
