To The Best Bubby: I asked the moderators to email your email address to my email address. I have not heard back from them.
So I asked them to send the names to your email address, associated with The Best Bubby.
Please post back in about an hour, if you didn’t receive them.

Thank you.
Best Bubby, how do we send you the names to daven for?
Do we post them here,

Thank you.
When DF was interviewed on the View and was asked about her 1st meeting with her husband,
she said, regarding that conversation, “I couldn’t focus, and I couldn’t remember a word, after.”
Check it out on YouTube, at 3:40 into the video, “The View, Rejection of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. Deborah Feldman Book.”
That’s very interesting, considering that she described the entire conversation in Pages 129 through 131 of her book, which I have read.
“I was told to say the whole sefer Tehillim on the night of Purim AFTER CHAZOT (and it does take approximately 3 hours!), with ONLY ONE BAKASHA. I did this a year and half ago, and my son met his beshert B’H in June and they married.”
Best Bubby, when you say “the night of Purim,”
did you mean, at night, after Taanis Esther is over, after the Chatzot HaLaila after the 1st Megilla reading?
Thank you.
“She. Should. Be. Careful.” was not meant as a threat,
any more than when someone wrote above, “Be. Careful,” and did not mean it as a threat.
What was meant is that she should be careful as to what she writes and says to the public about the practice of Judaism, so as not to present a distorted view of it.
I sympathize with her for having lived through an unhappy upbringing and marriage.
However, her book and her interview do not limit themselves to those specific issues. They make persons, who are not familiar with and do not understand a Torah-observant lifestyle, believe that the practice of Judaism is oppressive to those who observe it.
If a person goes through a trauma, she should deal with the specific issue.
No one is forcing her to write and sell for money, a book which gives a distorted view of a Chasidic lifestyle or a Torah-observant lifestyle, to non-Jews or to non-Torah-observant Jews.
No one is forcing her to give public interviews with a distorted view of a Chasidic lifestyle or a Torah-observant lifestyle, to non-Jews or to non-Torah-observant Jews.
TV and the Internet are world-wide public forums, & one does not know who is reading or watching. The ramifications would be devastating.
She. Should. Be. Careful.
She says on The View that “Hasidic sex is oriented towards procreation,” because of the timing of Taharas MaMishpacha.
Isn’t Taharas HaMishpacha the obligation of EVERY Jewish married couple, not just Chasidim? Isn’t it true that intimacy between a married man and woman is ultimately to have children? She makes it sound that there’s something wrong with that.
She says in her book that she’s taught in Kallah Class that “Niddah” means “kicked aside.” Doesn’t it mean “moved” or “separation” ?
Then she writes,
” ‘Is this ok with you?’ I want to ask. ‘Agreeing that you are dirty because you are a woman?’ I feel betrayed by all the women in my life.”
Being a Niddah is just a different status. Who ever said that it was dirty? Why does she write that she feels betrayed?
The laws of Tznius, Taharas HaMishpacha, and Mikvah Immersion apply to ALL Jews, not only to Satmar.
When she made fun of those laws, especially in public,
she held ALL Jews and Judaism (the Torah’s way of life for Jews) up to ridicule.
By the way, those sarcastic remarks in “The View” interview, that I cited above, were making fun of HER, too.
At the end of the interview, it’s said,
“This is not a condemnation or a criticism of that religion.”
No. Of course, not.
Check out her interview on The View today, on YouTube, at
“The View, Rejection of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. Deborah Feldman Book”
Parts of it upset me very much.
Regarding a picture of her being led to her Chupah, with the veil over her face; she was told:
“You look stunning. Where are you?” (Audience laughter)
Regarding her talking publicly about her intimate life with her husband, and about Taharas HaMishpacha, as she was asked to talk about “the sexual customs which are so different,” and her talking about how menstruating women are “impure,” and about the Bedikos and the Mikvah;
she had absolutely no business discussing this in front of Frei Jews and non-Jews, who have no idea what genuine Judaism is about.
After she discussed how she saw the Barbara Walters Gallery in Sarah Lawrence College and how she found out who Barbara Walters is, she was told:
“Did you think that Barbara Walters was from another Chassidic tribe?” (Audience laughter)
Unfortunately, she was raised in a dysfunctional home, with a distorted view of Judaism. However, whatever sympathy I may have had for what happened to her, has been completely erased by this Chillul Hashem, at which I cringed.
She made Judaism and all Jews into a laughing stock. This public display was completely uncalled for. No one forced her to do it. She did it for the money.
Whether or not she’s angry at G-d, or at Judaism, or at the way she was raised, or at what was done to her;
nobody forced her to write a book about it, and nobody forced her to go on TV interviews about it.
For the 3rd Round: 136 – 139
For the 4th Round: 140 – 144
I’m taking 140 through 144 for the second round.
Is there any further update on his condition?
52 through and including 60
“The government has faults, but is not anti-Torah and/or anti-Gd.”
What about not letting soldiers leave when women are singing?
What about allowing a gay pride parade and allowing cremation of dead bodies?
What about the over 8,000 body parts currently being held in the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute, taken in illegal autopsies, where body parts and tissue samples were taken from bodies after families prohibited a post-mortem?
mikehall12382 “So how do you explain the countless mass murders, terrorist acts and slaying of innocents before the State existed…”
“I didn’t know Anti Semitism began in 1897 with the birth of Zionism…I guess my history books that talk about the inquisition and expulsion from just about every European country were wrong…my bad!”
I was speaking about the terrorism in Eretz Yisroel,
not in the rest of the world.
“So how do you explain the countless mass murders, terrorist acts and slaying of innocents before the State existed…”
The State has existed since 1948;
but Zionism has existed since approximately 1897.
