Dear Frum Satire,
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend lately and it seems that the yetzer harah himself has disguised it as some sort of kiddush Hashem. In the past few years, frum Jews have started to be portrayed by the secular media as normal, they go on TV shows, talent contests, and write books that become mainstream. All the while, you and your fellow bloggers call this a great kiddush Hashem. Since when does acting like the goyim and seeking approval from the goyim, become a kiddush Hashem. It is the opposite in fact, it is a great desecration of the name of Hashem to seek any sort of approval or to try and “fit in” with the goyim.
I’m not sure where you’re from, but I was brought up to believe and to constantly be aware of the fact that the goyim are no better than the Nazis were to us. One day, just like it happened in Germany, they can turn on us and we will have thought the same thoughts, we will have thought about how similar we were to them and how they could turn on us. I think it’s time to take some hints from those Charedim you love to bash, they have it right, they aren’t loved by the secular world, but who needs goyishe love when Hashem loves you.
Who needs some 12 year old kid on some talent TV show playing piano, when you have yeshivos full of children and adults shteiging away? Let us recognize the yetzer harah for what it is and stop trying to convince ourselves that being “accepted” by secular society is a kiddush Hashem.

“I’m not sure where you’re from, but I was brought up to believe and to constantly be aware of the fact that the goyim are no better than the Nazis were to us.”
I agree, it’s got everything to do with where you’re from. If you’re from Brooklyn the goyim are Nazis, if you’re from Phoenix, they’re not. That’s all.
Don’t you find it interesting that frummies always assume that goyim are Nazis, yet are perfectly fine living amongst them, what happened to that whole “if Ilived in Nazi Germany, let me tell you what I would do” bombastic attitude.
Exactly, it’s like OTD says below; goyim are Nazis therefore let me stay in the bais medrash. Makes a whole lotta sense.
Uh, Heshy, the Jews didnt exactly volunteer to living amongst them. They threw us out of our homeland and dragged us to their lands.
yes. dragged to boro park.
I think frum Jews are the Nazis now. We are so damn racist, ego-centric, and insular. Examples: Chalav Yisroel, Pas Yisroel, the world created for us and our book of fairytales, not marrying out, only being able to charge interest on non-Jews, anti-gay, anti-women, anti-everyone but our ocd cavemen. Just to name a few. But soon we will be so socially irrelavent and inapropriate that we will be forced to submit to Evolution.
Finally – a voice of reason, truth & not afraid to speak it!!!
I applaud you ad infinitum.
Perfect
Ah yes, goyim are nazis. I better run back to the bais.
facepalm
Heshy,are these chareidim,obviously BT’s,following chukas hagoyim? Would you consider this a kidush Hashem or the opposite? This has been on YouTube for little over a week and has gone viral both here and in Israel.By reading the comments on YT it would seem that they made a colossal kiddush Hashem.

Heshy, if this is satire, then applause. If it isn’t, the guy who wrote this is one scary dude
He won’t be happy until a law is enacted mandating every mezuzzah be replaced with one bearing the likeness of Adolph Hitler, with a scroll of Mein Kamph inside.
Him, & others like him (especially Abraham Foxman), wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if antisemitism, real or imagined, disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow.
Until then, he should seek help immediately by dialing 1-800-MENGELE; operators are standing by.

To answer your question, I wrote it (90% of the letters to the editor are written by me and as such are satire) You of all people can usually tell.
You’re learning to change your writing style enough that it’s harder to recognize.
…& then you wonder why no one can stomach any of you? Very nice that your true feelings have finally been confirmed once & for all. And you (quite proudly) state “this is how I was brought up.” Absolutely digusting.
Keep up that arrogant & obnoxious attitude, & indeed, you can rest assured it’s only a matter of time until the goyim, who have BEYOND had it up to here with you already, most certainly WILL turn on you.
You’re essentially asking for it, by being so incredibly stupid as to post something this inflamatory.
How they already HAVEN’T turned on you is a miracle in & of itself.
You’ll just never learn…unbelievable.
There truly IS something very wrong with you, as well as your brethren who share your incredibly warped views.

Regarding this, you may want to look up the phrase “blame the victim”. Good luck.
Many thanks; what you are is a hate group masquerading as satire. I don’t believe your feelings could be any more thinly disguised.
Well, here are mine: Your kippah should only spin around on your head as fast as a CD in a player & burst into flame.
Who knows – you may even end up having a vision of Jesus Christ himself while you’re panicking & desperately trying to extinguish your little head top inferno.
Where’s that Holy Water when you need it?!? OY!!!
Jesus Christ. Tell your Mommy that someone on the Internet said that you should get off it.
I think that Challah Coaster is fighting satire with satire.
“who needs goyishe love when Hashem loves you.” We did, when we needed them to bail our weak asses out of the Holocaust when no divine favoritism was to be found as usual…

Heshy, Babes…you bear more than a striking resemblance to the late, great, beautiful Leon Helmsley. You’re one lucky guy!
Is there something you’re not telling us…hmm? Care to explain?
Heshy, Baby – you bear more than a passing resemblance to the late, great & unfathomably beautiful Leona Helmsley.
Hmmm…is.there something you’re not telling us? Care to share?
Sorry for the 2 postings – please disregard the 1st; the 2nd is the correct one (Leona, not Leon).
