Friar Yid: May 2013
http://friaryid.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Playing Devil's Advocate since 2006. Sunday, May 19, 2013. I've taken a long vacation from politics, which is probably from the best. The governments of America and Israel continue to disappoint, terrible things continue to happen in the world, and every time I turn on talk radio on my drive to work, my urge to punch the dial rises. (Mrs. Yid has banned me from playing anything on the AM dial when she's in the car.). Figure that more Jews could benefit from learning about and from. Friar Yid (not Shlita).

http://friaryid.blogspot.com/2013/08/bibliogestions-summer-2013.html
Playing Devil's Advocate since 2006. Friday, August 23, 2013. I just finished Samuel Heilman's 30-year-old memoir. And, while the details are obviously different, I saw quite a bit of my own spiritual search in Heilman's, and found some of his insights and experiences quite fascinating. It was also entertaining to note how more culturally fluent I've become in the last 10-plus years. It turns out Mitnagdim did more than just stay in their study houses. Arieh Morgenstern. About the Hurva synagogue. Did th...

Friar Yid: Profoundly Not Ok
http://friaryid.blogspot.com/2013/03/profoundly-not-ok.html
Playing Devil's Advocate since 2006. Wednesday, March 06, 2013. Real life has been busy, so the blog hasn't. More to come, but first. geez. We've talked about Lazer Brody's lack of sense, timing, and self-awareness many times before. We've also discussed the fact that often Lazer seems to genuinely want to use his words to help people heal, which I respect. But here's the thing, Lazer. Stuff like this. It doesn't help. At all. The couple's last name -. Friar Yid (not Shlita). Its a long story, but this w...

Friar Yid: Evolution-- my parents' and mine
http://friaryid.blogspot.com/2013/08/evolution-my-parents-and-mine.html
Playing Devil's Advocate since 2006. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Evolution- my parents' and mine. This past Sunday, Mrs. Yid and I put up a new mezuzah on my parents' door. Baby steps, always baby steps. The other night Abbot Yid was in town and took me out for sushi. When my order came (mackerel plus an assortment of sushi), I noticed that one of them was a shrimp. I asked him if he wanted it. While he was chewing, I could tell he was mulling something over. I have a question," he said. I shrugged. ...
