Rav Tzuriel makes some very important points: zomet.org.il/?CategoryID=26…

R. Dr. Steinberg is a world expert & authority: medethics.org.il/website/index.…

I think that's it for now.
Sorry I had to block a couple of people when they crossed the line from making a point to trolling.

Everyone ready for a rant about Michael Chabon and his @HUCJIR commencement speech/ @tabletmag article? Here it comes.../1
Chabon's reduction of diversity and complexity (and more synonyms) to exogamy reflects his shallowness. Shtup someone of a different color, and you're "diverse". Endogamy is tantamount to redlining. Heterogeneity is no longer a metaphor; it's literally all about genetics.
"Monocultural places—one language, one religion, one haplotype." We already covered the haplotype. Regarding language, again, on what planet are Jews monocultural? Does Chabon know any Jewish culture outside of his limited Yiddish vocab and his missions to Hebron? /3
