In a generation where orthodoxy's lamented slide to the right continues its embarrassing descent, CSG is a little tugboat pulling with all his or her might to the left.


The unsung heroes of the CSG.

Pamela Anderson and the charedi photo-shoot


Recently, Pamela Anderson wrote a letter to a number of charedi MK’s in support of a ban on fur garments, mainly targeted at the shtreimel industry. Ms Anderson admitted that she is writing from purely a fashion standpoint. In a candid interview with Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Senderson, Pamela admitted that she has never liked men with hairy chests, facial hair or side burns. What bothers me the most is what Senderson was doing in a room with only Pamela and interview materials, whatever they may be. Rabbi Senderson is currently denying that he had any knowledge that she starred in the TV show ‘Baywatch’.

Ms. Anderson is scheduled to have a meeting regarding this matter in the coming days. Ms. Anderson will be meeting with the leadership of the charedi movement as 'women' have not been acknowledged as an official species, consequently allowing men and ‘women’ to be in the same room together. This halachik loophole was found by some of the biggest rabbis of our generation.

When I approached an educator in the charedi community regarding how the charedi community interprets the seemingly ‘female’ characters in the chumash, for instance, Rachel, he responded that some characters and stories were placed in the chumash to test our belief in God, even though they may not be completely truthful.

UPDATE: The above photo is what Ms Anderson was spotted wearing in Mea Shearim hours before the meeting. She was praised for her simple yet elegant shapeless black dress.

  1. Shalom Precious Yid-
    My name is Tzvi Weinhirschenbaum. I am the director of YTJBTF the Young Torah Jewish Ba'al Teshuva Federation of greater Des Moines. I was recently turned on to your blog by a wonderful young man named Chaim Moishy Kentsbrechengaibudaran. He recently came across this blog post and is confused by your harsh rhetoric toward authentic Judaism. As an open minded fellow who was once a free thinking person such as yourself i can understand your frustrations with the authentic Jewish world. However, you must never forget that the helike gedoilim hakedoishim are beyond reproach or question. Certainly to mock them is forbidden. Now i don't know if you learned in a real yeshiva or one of those hippie liberal places like Har Etzion or Reishit, but i am concerned that a ben torah speaks in such a manner. No doubt your issues with the authentic Jewish world are based on a perceived lack of hygiene in our world. However, i can assure that all of us shower at least before shabbos. Further,my once in 10 years dentist visit is approaching.I know that Kentsbrechengaibudaran is beginning to question the basics that i have spent the last 5 months teaching him. If you ever happen to stop in Des Moines, you're more than welcome to stop by my house at 40 torahumaddaiskefira drive. My wife makes an excellent p'cha! We can discuss our differences over a bowl of my excellent chulent. And don't worry, all of my food is Yoshon.

    Sincerely,
    Tzvi Weinhirschenbaum

  2. Dearest blogger,

    You're a burger short of a combo meal;
    A few keys short of a keyboard;
    One twist short of a slinky;
    And a few sandwiches short of a picnic

    Let me just say, you have some nerve.
    To think that we yiddin will fall to this Pamela's wicked charm is blasphemy!

    The gemarah tells us to look the other way when we see such a bombshell as Pamela.
    Yet scums as yourself feel the need to publicize her gorgeous beauty in such fabulous pictures as the one you posted.

    I, for one, have the eyes of a tiger; the ears of a gazelle, the neck of an ostrich, the nostrils of a raging bull, and the tongue of a serpent.

    My yiddeshe neshama is strong, like an ox, and fearless as a lion.
    Her sinful, unholy ways are no match for my heart of torah - a heart of gold.

    Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; only a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

    Yopur post is all foam; no beer.
    It is but a few tacos short of a fiesta platter;
    A few brady's short of a bunch;
    A few colors short of a rainbow;
    A few noodles short of a chow mein.

    You are but a blind leader of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

    I may conclude, that with you, sir,
    Batteries are not included

    Dear mistaken yid,

    I hear and understand your concerns, however, I believe you have missed the point of my blog. I am not making fun of gedolim, rabbis or individuals, I am laughing at religious life in general. I have a number of questions for you. Firstly, why do you call your religious lifestyle authentic? It is difficult enough to know which street to take in order to avoid the traffic, yet, when it comes to something as complex as religion, where no-one can ever receive a definitive answer you seem to have it down pat. Your version of Judaism is authentic! We’ll done. Secondly, why are you using the internet? It has been shunned by the helike gedoilim hakedoishim. I have never really had respect for people who pick and chose to suit their agenda. You write that gedolim are beyond reproach or question, implying that one must follow them in every way, if that is the case, explain the internet. Let me guess, you use the internet in the middle of the night in a dark room, when your wife, children and neighbours are asleep so know-one will ever find out your dirty little secret.

    Why do you assume that my issues with ‘authentic’ Judasim stem from the fact of the supposed lack of hygiene? To be honest and to put it simply, my aversion to the charedi world arises from the fact that I believe that they have caused and are continually causing major social and financial gaps in Israeli society.

    I appreciate your offer to discuss our differences over your wifes p’cha and chulent and I appreciate the fact that all your food is yoshon, however, I do not trust your general kashrut.
