Yesterday, Hikind issued a statement that the New York State Assembly doesn’t have the votes to pass same gender marriage. The only logical reason for Dov to make this ridiculous assertion (the [...]

REPRINTED FROM THE YWN ARCHIVES: Dear readers of YWN:  I am writing to ask you to please find out what your sons plans are for Purim and to please dissuade them from travelling around on Purim day.

You see, I am a Rebbe in yeshiva. I spend my life trying to instill in my talmidim yiras shomayim. [...]

[To Mr. Hershel Lieber, President Bais Yaakov of Boro Park] Dear Mr. Lieber, In a public letter published in the Rosh Hashanah edition of Mishpacha family magazine, you described the school’s dire financial situation in response to an article that led some to believe the crisis had passed.

Dear YWN, An issue that deserves your coverage, is the upcoming referendum in the Town of Ramapo on the new 3,500-5,000-seat baseball stadium at the corner of Route 45 and Pomona Road. The frum communities in New Hempstead and Pomona will be greatly affected by the Friday and Saturday games, rock concerts, fireworks and huge increase [...]

Dear YWN, During these days of reflection on our priorities and current state in galus, I feel the need to bring to light something that has been bothering me for quite some time. I am not here to preach as many others do about the connection of such and such an issue to our current state [...]
