Global Update

So it has been a long time since I wrote regularly on this thing. I have no singular excuse, but a combination of a few. I thought it was about time to just post a general update to what has been going on in the last 4-5 months. A quick list:

Reason #379 Why Jews Stop Being Jews

Look into the eyes of hate. These are supposedly our brothers and sisters. But there is no moral justification for detailed adherence to orthodoxy because of issues like this:
