By Lurker that never comments
Every time Heshy decides to share with us some insight into his daily hashkafic struggles people go ape shit, they start to complain that he isn’t frum anymore and that his blog isn’t frum and that things have changed and as a diehard Frum Satire fan, I am sick and disgusted with all of you because Heshy was never frum and his blog was never frum either, hell, if the internet and blogs aren’t frum in the first place how can Frum Satire actually be frum? It’s called frum satire because he makes fun of the frum world, although he only started writing satire in the past couple of years.
I started reading Frum Satire in the fall of 2006, I think it was a link from one of those long gone mommy bloggers to a post telling me he goes to shul for Kiddush and to look over the mechitza, finally someone just like me, right? Well if he’s going to shul for food and women he obviously wasn’t frum then.
You know what else?
Heshy never wore a white shirt, yeshivish style tzitzis, or a hat – automatically disqualifying him from ever being frum. He also taught us all how to navigate around shomer negia with his loopholes list, which wasn’t very frum at all. What about all this talk of frum porn? Frum Porn is an oxymoron, which makes anyone using the two words in the same sentence not frum. Just due to the fact that Heshy is in his upper 20’s and still single means he’s not frum, he just admitted the other day for the umpteenth time that he spends his days wasting seed so that he will be able to boil in it when he goes up to the beis din shel mala.
Don’t even get me started on his Sinas Chinam and Loshon Horah, anyone reading this blog is sinning and Heshy, in spreading his vile disgusting stereotypes and poking fun at Jews is all damning him out of frumkeit long before he decided to share with you his views on his hashkafa struggles. Do you realize how many people Heshy has pushed off the derech by spreading his filth, he’s been doing it since the middle of 2006, yet now, that he has decided to try and do his veahavta lareacha kamocha deal you have the gall to say his blog is changing, isn’t frum anymore and that it’s been going downhill.
Do you people actually think he isn’t frum? He seems a lot more frum than all of you people. Do you really expect Frum Satire to be stagnant and non-evolving?
“He also taught us all how to navigate around shomer negia with his loopholes list”
What?! Where is this list?!!!

This post is legit, but there’s a difference between being an Orthodox guy who sins and a non-Orthodox guy who sins and writes about all his egalitarian bullshit. You were the former 4 years ago, but you’ve since become the latter.
How exactly is he a non-orthodox guy? The blue shirt to shul thing seemed to be a joke, last I checked Heshy was frummer than ever and I should know – I’m his #1 stalker.
You never published my poem Heshy
^ extra creepy
I wrote the poem and get over yourself Hesh, it was a year and a half ago. I am most certainly NOT stalking you. I like men, not boys.
Michal I would email you the other poem, but it’s super weird.
by all mmeans…send it…
Your blog has changed and you have changed, you’re so much more mature and your posts aren’t 5 pages long thank G-d. I kind of like the Egalitarian Bullshit.
Hershy is just honest. Not a dishonest Jew like many Jewish people are.
heshy dont post so much lashon hara about urself
and poster: you should not remind a person of his past sins
and wearing a blue shirt has nothing to do with frum!!!
just had to say that
Wearing a blue shirt has EVERYTHING to do with being frum.
Unless you “know” Heshy, you don’t know Heshy.
This is a website, a mostly humorous website, please stay calm when trying to “figure out” Heshy.
Don’t listen to the Haters, Heshy.
ummm, i think the last sentence gives away Heshy probably wrote this
by his own admission frum satire was actually frum
mishna: amar reb hesh on the titel of his blog “It aint always frum and it aint always satire” amar reb lurker in his post “Frum Satire was never frum”
gm: zogt di gmorah …. we lerant in the braitha if you you gonna come and say that its always frum that implies that it “always” frum so sometimes it is and sometimes it isnt. teh always implies that there is a chance it can be one or the other amar lei they said to him “frum satire was never frum” comes to imply it was never frum the kasha we have here is who knows better about who is frum hesh teh owner of the blog or a lurker. tosfos conludes later that the halocho is like hesh he is the owner he made the statement and so we say that we go like hesh in that its not always frum but it is sometimes frum
While I kind of disagree with the letter, I thought it was written from an interesting angle.
My hashkafos have not changed much, but my practice and observance level has gone way up. On the other hand, my struggles have changed, I used to struggle with practice and now I struggle more with philosophy and basis for my practice. For instance, 3 years ago I didn’t daven every day, say brachos on everything or try and learn every day – all of that has changed drastically – while at the same time I do think there is truth in what one commenter calls Egalitarian BS, I am not that down with the crazy libs (although I give off weird impressions about that)
I like this blog a lot, it really has a lot to offer. Its like a fabragen if ever any one here ever went to one. Its like a kumzits. Its cool and Heshy is cool, and as you know being part of a jewish community even if you just rat and rave about it is still a community of jews where the scheniah rests opun, i think. Does this blog push people off judiasm? Hmmm…
Has it helped or hurt me…
Hmmm…
What do you guys think?
Who care what color shirt he wears, if he wears tzitzis, or even if he runs around naked with chickens in his apartment!? It’s a funny ass blog. Why can’t it just be, I don’t know, an enjoyable *satire*? Calm your shit, people.
what’s with the running around naked thing people have? In a post where he went over the searches people typed in to get to his site one of them was something along the lines of “woman dancing nude in mud pits”. seriously people lets leave the mud and chicken fetishes out…
The first rule of Frum Satire is you do not diss Frum Satire.
IMHO 🙂
I agree with Anonymous, I think you’ve mellowed down over the years without losing your sense of humor, which is already a big accomplishment. Plus, it seems you’re struggling with difficult stuff about religion instead of running away from it, putting it aside, or accepting it without questioning – so kol hakavod.
Last I checked this website was never “Rated G” for all viewers. If people have issues with the content, (whether moral/decency, hashkafa or religious views), then they should not have or continue to visit the site.
cheer up sleepy jean, oh, what can it mean, to a, noooon believer and the homecoming queeeeeeeen?
