No - I was not reading Vanity Fair - but check out their list of the world’s 100 most powerful people - 51 are Jewish. 51 are Jewish - can you dig that? Google, Mayor Bloomberg, Ralph Lauren - Jews are into everything and are everywhere.
If more people would start reading More Torah, I would be on the list too - tell your friends.

I am not sure what to make of this. Columnist Ann Coulter said:
“We [Christians] just want Jews to be perfected.”
I mean yeah, Christians do believe they have the monopoly on religion and that their beliefs are the fulfillment of the promises of Judaism. If they want to believe that – fine, I think it is silly, but believe what you want. But I am surprised that Ann Coulter believes this, or is at least so vocal about it – I thought she was a liberal-hating conservative, not a bible-thumping fundamentalist.

Don’t ask me how I did it, but I found Madonna’s blog - chock full of Kaballah lessons and everything. Look at this link - it is a Kaballah lesson all about life being a dream (I didn’t have the patience to read the whole thing). Who is this lady’s rabbi?
I am going to be 40 soon - maybe Madonna could be my Kaballah guru - no?

Check out this video, the dean of Columbia University* clearly states that “if Hitler were alive today, he would be invited to speak at Columbia.” How did such a dimwitted baboon get to be dean at an Ivy League university?
He tries to make himself out to be I’m-Mr.-Openness-in-a-world-of-ideas: “I know what Hitler believes is despicable, but if he is willing to take questions from Columbia students then sure, he can speak here.” (I paraphrased because I don’t have the stomach to look at his idiotic talking face again to get the quote right.)
Doesn’t the brainless turd dean realize that he is legitimizing Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s Jew-hating message by giving him a platform to speak from at prestigious Columbia University?
What an idiot – but what would you expect from the dean of the school who gave tenure to Edward Said? (Remember him – he was the professor who went to Lebanon and threw rocks at Israelis – my hero.)
Visit this Facebook group or go here if you want to join the protest on Monday in New York.
*Actually, he is the acting dean of the School of International and Public Affairs.

I have already mentioned this once before - it is very important for Jewish people to eat kreplach today (Erev Yom Kippur) - very good for your soul. Read this old post for details. Your next chance to reap the benefits of this important spiritual exercise is Wednesday, October 3.
Listen to this great MP3 to learn more about Yom Kippur.

The hype is that anti-Semitism is alive and well in central Florida. During Rosh Hashanah services the cops were called to do something about the illegally parked cars. According to eyewitnesses, the cops were rude, aggressive and eager to bust some heads (or at least send some Jews to the clink).
I heard through the grapevine that the neighbors call the police every Shabbos to complain about the “Jews gathering to pray.” According to the news report, a student was arrested. Eyewitnesses say the real story is:
A girl mumbled, “Thanks for ruining our new year” while passing by a police officer. He replied, “what did you say?” and grabbed her by the arm, twisting it behind her back and pushing her against the police car. A boy (the student referred to in the news report) stepped in and said, “you can’t do that, if you take her, take me too.” The cop released the girl and arrested the boy instead.
Is this a real case of new-age-Southern Jew-lynching or just a community stressed about the holiday traffic? I don’t know, but everyone needs to chill out - Rosh Hashanah only happens once a year and if Shabbos traffic is overwhelming, maybe everyone can chip in and help the shul build a parking lot.

Look at this – the Jewish people have a new ambassador – Esther Ritchie (better know by her pre-tshuva name Madonna).
Esther is in Israel for a Kabbalah conference along with other notable Jewish spokespeople and including movie star Demi Moore and her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, Rosie O’Donnell, fashion designer Donna Karan and of course Esther’s film director husband Guy Ritchie.
While in Israel, Esther met with Israeli President Shimon Peres and presented him with an autographed copy of the “Book of Splendor.”
“You don’t know how popular the Book of Splendor is among Hollywood actors,” Yediot [an Israeli newspaper] quoted Madonna [Esther] as telling Peres. “Everyone I meet talks to me only about that. I am an ambassador for Judaism.”
Isn’t this great?

This guy is so obviously Jewish.
[Daveed Gartenstein-Ross] began to examine his own spiritual identity after experiencing a couple of brushes with death caused by illness. “That kind of thing can cause spiritual discomfort and make you reevaluate what it is that you’re living for,” he told CNN. A college friend introduced him to Islam and he was intrigued by its peaceful message. “Islam was a very simple faith and as I learned more and more about it, it seemed more and more fascinating to me,” he said.
Obviously, the best place for a nice Jewish boy to find Spirituality is Islam.
He experimented with a radical form of Islam that eventually led him to shun music, reject women’s rights and even refuse to touch dogs because he believed this was “according to God’s will.”
Just as obvious – no Jew could “just be a Muslim,” he had to be a radical one.
And when Islam doesn’t do it, what next?
A year later, he converted to Christianity and was eventually baptized in the Baptist church.
Dude, just be Jewish – it is ok – we won’t make fun of you, really.

Liviu Librescu is a real hero. He survived the Holocaust, fought for academic freedom against the communists in Romania, and died saving his class during the massacre at Viginia Tech.
Librescu, 77, fearlessly braced himself against the door, holding it shut against the gunman in the hall, while students darted to the windows of the second-floor classroom to escape the slaughter, survivors said. He died trying to protect the students.
The cowardice of selfish, murderous scum like Cho Seung-hui stands in stark contrast to the greatness of a hero like Liviu Librescu.
