Girl power vs rabbinic abuse - Gone are the days when rabbonim issued sad nonsensical bans which people just swallowed. Here's Bracha Jaffe fighting back as politely as possible. She's a nurse and uses her voice for a Kiddush Hashem while rabbonim cover up for abusive colleague

Sorry "Ladies and Girls", the hashkofo of our Rabbonim and girls' schools is to send you for ruchniyus classes to a rov with allegations as long as your banned sheitels whose "spiritual harm" is B"H nothing like listening to Chaya Kogan sing Ani Maamin

"And it reads like the world's first fan fiction."
"...the site has launched with two inaugural exhibits: Kroll-Zeldin’s deep dive into Carlebach’s synagogue and religious commune known as the House of Love and Prayer, and a comprehensive look at the Karaite Jewish community in the Bay Area and beyond."

Hillel the Elder taught that caring for one's body and its emotional well-being is an act of kindness and can even be a מצווה
Quote Tweet
Wherever there is a person, Seneca said, there is an opportunity for kindness. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, there is an opportunity to do good, to help others.
It just so happens that that is also a wonderful way to help yourself.
