Teens face lawsuit in cemetery attack. Plus, when is an attack on a Jewish cemetery not a hate crime?
Second thoughts on Orthodox-bashing: I respond to readers who felt I went soft on wrong-doing by Orthodox Jews. An excerpt:
As a matter of Jewish law, mesira reflects the fear - well-founded in Jewish history - that informing to the secular authorities will only shame the Jews, and worse. But critics suggest it can be used as a way to cover up wrongdoing. One of the angriest responses I received came from a writer who was educated in Orthodox schools. He railed against a religious system “which openly disdains western civilization and the rule of law, and which settles its own disputes through corrupt courts that lack all transparency.”
If this were only the criticism of a few disgruntled outsiders, I would hesitate to print or discuss it. But there’s no use pretending that this is not a debate within Orthodoxy itself.

Hello. I read your article today in the Jerusalem Post entitled “From Here To Affinity”. To me it seems like this: Orthodox Jews do something wrong, non-orthodox Jews complain and highlight this. Non-religious Jews do something wrong( complain about Orthodox Jews) and you
complain and highlight this.
it seems it’s just the same: someone does something, and someone else reacts. I don’t see how you have any moral highground here. To me the article represents pety human behavior, complaining. i’m sure you can find a more meaningful way of contributing.
