The "Is This Jewish Commercial Insensitive?" Post
0 comments Published Wednesday, February 24, 2010 by My Two Sense in NonsenseA Frum catering company has just released a cute commercial titled, "He thinks I'm a millionaire."
See the video here.
I think it's very well made, nicely done. Just one question, is it me or is this commercial pretty insensitive to the "shnorer" community. Yes, I know using the term shnorer in it of itself is insensitive, but still.
It seems to me that the "millionaire" is taking advantage of a poor person simply because the guy was fooled into thinking this baal simcha is rich due to the fancy looking wedding.

Voz Iz Neias just reported about the arrest of Rabbi Yehoshua Balkany, dean of Bais Yaakov of Brooklyn.

The Martin Grossman Post
0 comments Published Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by My Two Sense in Jewish NewsWhat a terrible tragedy. From the moment I heard about this story I was conflicted. Even now, after his execution I feel torn between the two arguments.
I think this experience has actually made me rethink the death penalty. I know it's something that is in the Torah, but now, in Golus, how can humans make these decisions?
Why in one state would this man have been allowed to live but in another he is put down like a dog. Who gets to decide what's considered an "illness" or "mental defect" and who is just a murderer.
Yes, there are consequences, but are we in a position to make these judgments?
It's a tragedy that he murdered that young woman, and it's a tragedy that a Jewish soul was ended.
The only real lesson we can take from this to be careful on the paths that we take and the paths we let our children take.
Life is so precious.

I'll probably be posting on mostly Jewish current event stories, but I might also comment on sports, and politics and who knows, maybe even music.
