sounds great - but - 30 bucks?! in today's kindle world? Oy! (remember - "we" are all voracious readers - many books)

That author is interesting.
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | June 09, 2011 at 09:00 PM
YL - as an author he may be interesting, but as a human being he's a lowlife.

Why would you think that? Protocols is an antisemitic fabrication. Exposing frumma crime and misdeeds as in this blog is a mitzvah.

Just because someone is frei doesn't mean he or she is anti-Semitic!

Shamarya is one of the most courageous human beings I know and he has helped the Orthodox world come to terms with its inner demons.
I have always found him to be respectful toward others--unlike many others here on this website who routinely (and mindlessly) resort to making gratuitous ad hominem attacks on any person they do not personally like.
You can also identify a mentsch--by how he treats other human beings. A menstch treats people with kindness and decency.
Shamarya is a mentsch and a friend; he is deserving of all our praise and support.
For those who delight in speaking lashon hara and motzi shem ra, this week's parsha teaches a timeless lesson: If you cannot say anything nice about a person, then keep your hostile thoughts to yourself.
