I think this is the most tznius picture of Britney I could find, but fear not – she’s wearing a black hat.
After dozens of emails, facebook and twitter messages asking me to write about this – I am doing so just to shut you all up. The last time I saw Britney Spears she was parncing around in a school girl uniform (not a bais yaakov one) and singing the national anthem of teeny boppers – yes I watched it, yes my brother found the CD on the floor and now I own it, but after she hit puberty, I kind of lost interest.
One fan made it a point to tell me that the Birtney Spears conversion to Judiasm will mean people will tell loshon horah about her – but since her conevrsion will not be ackknowledged by most – its halachically fine to speak all the loshon horah you want (I am not fond of it – but its the law)
I hope that none of you actually cares that Britney is converting, but if she does I can assure you a great day of commenting on Vos Iz Neias and the like.
who is she converting with??
So it’s forbidden to speak ill of Jews but if it’s anyone else, it doesn’t matter?
Well Lena unfortunately according to Halacha that is the case
Leah, no lahon hora w/yidden because we can settle beefs inside the community via rabbi or, if needed, beis din. Cant do that w/goyem.
not speaking ill of all others falls under being a light unto the world and setting a good example. The Other Oral Torah – common sense stuff hopefully learned from parents, relatives, teachers, rebbeim and mentors.
Yeah, technically it’s permitted, but it isn’t recommended though. You have to try to maintain good relations w/everyone.
That’s what really annoys me about Jewish ethics laws. They’re all very tribalistic. How is VeAhavta LeRe’kha Kamokha different than any other form of ethnic solidarity? How does this set an example of ethics for the world?
Who said OJ is ethical?
Is it me or am I the only guy the masterbated to that picture
What is she converting to? Is she going to be a Kabalist like madonna?
…I thought she was converting to Islam.
??? ??? ??? ???
At least shes wearing a black hat…. isn’t that all that truly matters in chumrah land?
Britney Is AWESOME!!!
