Goy: Haha look at this funny video!

The video: A Charedi man in Charedi garb doing normal every day things while being filmed without his knowledge, set to a funny soundtrack the video poster added

A billion light-years. That is a phrase I would never expect a Charedi magazine to make. Unless it was to dispute the very concept of something being a billion Light years away from the planet Earth. And that phrase was used matter of factly in a Mishpacha Magazine article about scientist Roni Grosz, a Kopycznitzer Chosid who is in charge of the Albert Einstein Archives at Israel’s Hebrew University. It described newly discovered evidence of gravitational waves - a key component of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. A theory that challenged previous widely accepted understandings of the nature of gravity. Dr. Grosz described it as ‘music to his ears’ calling it a ‘smile from heaven’.

This was an interesting read from a perspective I'd never really considered before.

Staatsruif op slot voor charediem

Voor de kranten van De Persdienst schreef ik op 5 mei onderstaande reportage uit het hart van ultraorthodox-Joods Jeruzalem

JERUZALEM – Israël voert maatregelen door om ultraorthodoxe Joden aan het werk en in het leger te krijgen. Maar de uitdagingen zijn groot en de rabbijnen strijdbaar. ,,Het is beter te sterven dan je kinderen naar het leger te sturen.”

It is difficult to post this. As a Jew, I don't like airing out my people's dirty laundry in public. But I also firmly believe that no one should turn a blind eye to bad behavior. I love Israel -- but this type of thing makes me sick. Jews fighting against other Jews...over foolishness.

The problem with these charedim is just like any other insular group, they don't have a clue about the real world. They are so caught up on the length of someone's sleeves, that they are blind to the real enemies of Jews and Judaism. So sad and pathetic. :-(
