• What’s The Moral Upshot Of Orthodox Judaism?

  
  Your Moral Leader — Authority: 443
  I’ve been asking Orthodox rabbis if simply knowing that someone was Orthodox told you anything about their ethics. The rabbis say no. What if you knew the person davened three times a day? Does that say anything about their ethics? The rabbis say no. What if they really sway in their davening and beat their ...

• Ham, Sex, Wool and Linen: "I want to perform all those forbidden acts"

  
  Tzvee's Talmudic Blog — Authority: 473
  Here is a troubling theological question.  Should one say that the commandments are perfect and any truly pious person would by nature want to observe them?

  Frum Satire: Jewish Comedy — Authority: 470
  I have heard countless people say that if you make 3 shidduchim you get a direct VIP pass to heaven, but it seems like a load of crap to me.
