A President Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect, Just Effective

by Shmuley Boteach – Algemeiner

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain

Readers of this column will know that last week my wife and I, thank God, married off our eldest child. What they will not know are the conditions we endured for the days prior to the wedding when a freak snow storm caused a power outage in our home town of Englewood, New Jersey, and much of the Northeast. We were preparing for a wedding with a house filled with relatives from around the world who, freezing with no heat, light, or phones, thought America was a third world country.

Op-Ed: Love Your Jewish Sister, Dress Modestly!

by Malka Leah Pearl

My best friend Shevi called me the other day, distressed over the shul her husband started attending. “Malka, you can’t imagine what the women are wearing there,” she said. “Yes I can,” I sadly replied. “He loves the davening, but I feel nervous with him going there,” she continued. “I tried to discuss it with him, but he likes the shul and doesn’t want to stop going. I totally understand, but why should he have to see women dressed that way?”

Kansas Children Add Names to Israel Torah Project

by Atara Beck – Chabad.org

A Torah scroll contains 304,805 letters and can take months to complete.

Efforts to unite Jewish children throughout the world through the writing of a Torah scroll are taking on a uniquely local flavor in the State of Kansas, with day camps, preschools, Hebrew schools and day schools signing up students to sponsor letters in the fifth Children’s Torah Scroll to be commissioned since the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, launched the worldwide project in 1981.

Op-Ed: Stop Judging!

by Yisroel P.

Dear Doe Namay AKA John Doe,

Your op-ed last week gave me a bigger jolt than my morning coffee. You stated your opinion against ‘Chabad Lite’ because they may, G-d forbid, call themselves Chabad. Do you consider yourself Chabad? Where exactly can I pick up some “Chabad” measuring tape? Is anyone who disagrees with your opinion really a hater? And how exactly can you say, after penning such an article, that you have Ahavas Yisroel?
