How do they think they got here on earth.... from two people having "SEX".... so wouldnt that make you yourself a sin,printing more sins.... sounds like the "devil" at work.

They perform outreach in many ways, the most significant being their affordable, and apparently high quality, day-care centers and preschools. As a non-orthodox Jew, it is absolutely my business to know about this sort of thing. Without blogs like this, I'd have no idea.<br /><br />For me, this raises the following question: Who would send their child to a school run by a group who hates women so much as to edit them out of the world (not just history, history is interpreted, the photograph is reality)? Chai Tots, and the like, may be cheaper, but it's not worth it. My daughter will confront misogyny many times in her life, but she doesn't need to start at age 3. <br /><br />If the heredim want to be left along, fine: stop proselytizing. They can't proselytize and then complain when their extreme views are highlighted by Jews for their fellow Jews.<br /><br />One last thing. The paper's "apology" indicated that the photo editor did not read the "fine print":<br /><br />"Our photo editor realized the significance of this historic moment, and published the picture, but in his haste he did not read the 'fine print' that accompanied the picture, forbidding any changes" <br /><br />[source: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/09/religious-paper-cuts-clinton-from-iconic-photo/]<br /><br />Validating terms of use is an essential part of a editors job (my wife clears photo permissions for a living; this isn't obscure stuff). If the apology were not disingenuous, the newspaper would have removed the photo editor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262011586811044441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-87080539278324634072011-05-09T22:35:37.378-04:002011-05-09T22:35:37.378-04:00For those who think it was appropriate and within ...For those who think it was appropriate and within their rights for the Haredi newspaper to alter the image, what about when it comes to art?<br /><br />When the Diaspora Museum in Tel Aviv (Bet Ha-Tefutzot) first opened they prominently displayed a large reproduction of the famous painting by Maurice Gottlieb of Jews praying on Yom Kippur in an Amsterdam synagogue, but they cut out the women who were next to the men in the original painting.<br /><br />It took quite a big flap to get them to restore the image the way it was painted. They were apparently trying to placate some Orthodox concerns.Rabbi Jason Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805550465729805847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-89128302912332937182011-05-09T20:28:16.904-04:002011-05-09T20:28:16.904-04:00While I disagree with the altering of the photo, I...While I disagree with the altering of the photo, I don't think it is g'neveit daat (GD). GD would be when they are trying to trick people into thinking something not true. The hasidic jews know that there are women in government, including as secratary of state. Also, does it really matter which officials were there or not?<br />On another point, like it or not, as a conservative rabbi, your opinions have absolutely no authority in the ultra-orthodox world. Do you really think blogging about this is going to change them in any way? In my opinion, all it does is score political points with those already in your camp. Additionally, airing your problems about other sects of Judaism in a public domain only serves to make people think badly about Jews as a whole. The anti-semite doesn't differentiate between the "enlightened" Jew and the Ultra-Orthodox "lunatics". To them, we are all "those Jews". WHether or not you agree with them, we should admire their convictions and not publicly bash other "members of the tribe".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-52462257698599637232011-05-09T18:06:14.972-04:002011-05-09T18:06:14.972-04:00Please note that according to Daniel Sieradski the...Please note that according to Daniel Sieradski the story was first "broken" here: http://theantitzemach.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post_04.html <br />>> Arieh LebowitzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-22295999459480372382011-05-09T17:19:33.084-04:002011-05-09T17:19:33.084-04:00Just FYI the picture is a work of an employee of t...Just FYI the picture is a work of an employee of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties.

It's bad enough for this blog, but you're quoted on yahoo.com for the world to see the lack of sensitivity you have towards your brothers and sisters, while I am sure as a Rabbi you continue to preach "veahavta l'reacha kamocha" (hopefully). Have you consulted with any major poskim about this sensitive topic? Or do you deem yourself to be worthy of convicting your brethren of gneivat daat? I am sure you will pass this aside as just a crazy "blogger" sharing his/her "extreme" opinion, but maybe you can stop and think instead about trying to bridge our nation together instead of self-righteously tearing us apart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-79100305063819513072011-05-09T13:42:44.873-04:002011-05-09T13:42:44.873-04:00I don't think it has anything to do with wheth...I don't think it has anything to do with whether the image itself seems sexualized ... women ARE sex, so any photograph of a woman is sexualized, according to some groups.
