Morah, go on a diet.
Perhaps the name “Mailbag” should be replaced with a gender-neutral title – unless “mail” represents the male population and “bag” represents the females. But, that’s not nice.

Is this really an appropriate derech eretzdika article for a frum site?

It’s possible to criticize a frum politician without display this level of sina or using this type of language. Also using ALL CAPS is shouting and is unprofessional.

The author argues that gay marriage will pass regardless of Dov Hikind, and then condemns Hikind for not stopping it. He can’t have it both ways.

“Take this years Governor’s race as an example. Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Carl Paladino was clearly against same gender marriage, his opponent Andrew Cuomo was clearly in favor. Hikind endorsed Cuomo.”
Just about every Rov said to vote for Cuomo
” Not that it mattered to his constituents, as usual, Boro Park ignored Hikind and voted for Paladino.”
This is an untrue statement most of Boro Park voted for the democrats as they seem more yeshiva etc… friendly

If it’s anti Hikind…. it must be in yeshiva world. Good grief. Maybe try once a year to put on something positive.

#15.
We all agree that this to’eiva will affect us. What you seem not to understand (or maybe you are part of the personal agenda team machine) is that, not only doesn’t Dov care about this issue….he encourages it by protecting Shelly Silver (a so called orthodox guy with unorthodox personal views and agendas) who is in support of To’eiva marriage among many left wing stuff. He supports Shelly by bringing him to a big dinner BP is having by this make you feel guilty organization.
In order to save his seat (he lost the BP vote a while ago) he is actively pursuing an agenda to split BP into 6 different districts so that KING Dov stays around to bring us “NOTHING” (except of course if you’re a major organization he will throw a couple of bucks in order to force you to play with him).
BP has said it before and we will say it again; we are sick and tired of having our votes and voices used by some private agenda people INCLUDING DOV

” Same-gender marriages will effect every person in New York in a negative way regarding employment, education, and service sectors.”

Yesterday a news reported that 2/3 of the funding for the pro-same sex marriage effort is from Republican donors, many connected to right wing causes. They think that same sex marriage will be good for business, as same sex couples come to NY for their weddings and honeymoons. (I’m not making this up!)

Thank you YWN for exposing this! All jews need to wake up and realize that we will need to move out of NY if the toeiva bill passes. The mabul and sedom’s destruction only came after toeiva marriage became law of the land. So to all those who think it does not affect you, THINK AGAIN!
