If you have not noticed, this site has moved to http://frumsatire.net I was recently contacted by David Klimnick, a frum stand up comedian in Israel and asked if I wanted to participate in a show he was going to be doing in New York City. At first I was excited, and then a bit nervous […]

Why are yarmulkes made out of their respective materials?

July 16, 2007

19

Many great things that we use today were not created for their specific purposes, sometimes these items were made by mistake kind of like the Polio Vaccine, while some of these were just used in different ways then we know them today.

I broke off a small piece of chocolate babka and sampled it to test its moistness, you really could never know with babka, sometimes it melts in your mouth and other times it feels like an energy bar sticking to the roof of your mouth and preventing your voice box from working like in that […]

I have a history with Black Hats…

I remember when I got my first hat, my father and I went to Kova Hats in Brooklyn a store a buddy of his from yeshiva owned. We walked in and after looking at one hat walked right out, turned on our heels before little more then “vus machs du” could be uttered. My father […]

Tis the season for weddings and I will tell the story of each

June 14, 2007

I shifted my weight from one cheek to the next on my little folding plastic chair. If this had been an indoor chupa I am sure the noise would have caused a couple of annoyed folks to turn around, however this wedding, was outdoors. The last outdoors chupa I went to almost blew away during […]
