Two harros
How about condemning those who participate (UTJ)
And why for you is the most spiritually signifigant part of Jews getting together to pray something as trivial as a michetzah do you think what God found most meaningful in there prayer?

Re: Defining Deviancy Down by Yaakov Menken

http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2014/06/20/defining-deviancy-down/

the views expressed by this the cross crusader are so deliciously unnuanced and contrived to reach his forgone conclusion!
while the author stated the obvious about the kids complete lack of talent and him only getting his slot because of the kippah/dirty joke combo drawing alot of views, his second point about the interest that this has to so many people is precisely were menky misses the mark, the general public does not share the charidei rwmo/yeshievish "downward spiral of morality in america view" that is preached by this group while they see everything from kendeys hatdoffing and on-wards as degenerate deviant promiscuity, the genral orthdox who are in touch with the cultural realities of america see a shifting of socital norms that are simply diffrent but not nessicarly the root of all evil the point that this spectale brought home was that even those who still practce traditionl observance are able to acclimate to a different socital norm than what was preached in the 80's in usa

Re: A Prediction Fulfilled — Sadly by Jonathan Rosenblum,

http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2014/06/18/a-prediction-fulfilled-sadly/

I think Jonathan is spot on for once when the chareidim espouse taliban like hostility to all that do not follow there fundamentalist system the lapids want those people destroyed shmaded if you Will the only chariedim he has any interest in reconciling with are those with more tolerant understandings of there religion

http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2014/06/17/a-for-now-final-post-about-jewish-authority/

So we do believe in palpal in infallibility

does our brilliant legal eagle fail to recognize that in matters that effect the entire nation there must be a final authoritative law for all to follow

Of course the criticism is spot on but didn't the rishonim a thousand years ago already "know" the messiah was coming any second

Instead of lamenting that articles are not written romanticizing yeshiva how about asking the question why are they no longer being written

Any one surprised that these jesus loving Catholic fundamentalist nutters who believe that if you believe you are saved and have a nerotic obsession with heresy are the ones who agree and sympathize with perlows cause? I just believe that menky is to dimwitted to realize that being in hashkafik agreement with these guys is a pirchah on you not proof of your correctness

How about comparing the education of a 12 year old boy from meah sherim who spends shabbos afternoon protesting the cars on sarie yisroel and is taught to hate all the enemies of hashem who are forcing his family to live in abject poverty
