Dov Bear on the Parsha

A charmingly irreverent look at the weekly reading.

Info Buy it Amazon Review

If it relates to Jews, Judaism, holidays, Midrash,Torah, halacha or anything similar, I probably have a post on it. And if I have a post on it, I probably have a good comment thread with great reader-provided information, too.

Try a search and see for yourself. If you can't find what you're looking for ask me.

Quotes



You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you odd. -Flannery O'Connor

“When in the afterglow of religious insight I can see a way that is good for all humans as it is for me—I will know it is His way.” - R. Abraham Joshua Heschel

i’m not goin to be nice / i will raise my voice / & scream & holler / & break things & race the engine / & tell all yr secrets bout yrself to yr face - Ntozake Shange

I don't accept at all the quite popular argument that the press is responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles. The monarchy's responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles. To blame the press is the old thing of blaming the messenger for the message. -Anthony Holden

Disqus for DovBear



Said behind my back

"Dov Bear: Worth reading, now more than ever!" [Reb Yudel]

"That DovBear just loves posting hyperlinks to stuff that many folks don't walk to talk about." [Shira]

"...he's trying to show that there are other facets to Orthodox Judaism. That we don't all think one way and vote one way. And he's occasionally entertaining when he's not being mean-spirited" [PsychoToddler]"

...I often find out new things from Dovie" [Chayyei Sarah]

"DovBear has an interesting post on the subject."[Gil Student]

"Dovie is my best friend. I love Dovie. I love him so much that I'm able to complain about him and bother him whenever I darn feel like it." [RenReb]

"DovBear: A man with his Hashkafas in the right place. That is, assuming you think the right place is bashing Chassidim, superstition, the Zohar, spirituality and kugel. Which I do." [Godol Hador]

"Dov Bear has fantastic attributes - candor, loyalty, truth, courage, a razor-sharp mind, and he flatters no one" [Lazer Brody]

"DovBear does have a nice blog and I am a daily visitor, but don't tell him I said so"[Jack]

"DovBear is simply... entertaining."[Ezzie]

"He's witty. He's funny. He appreciates the ridiculous in life, and has no qualms about telling you when he thinks that you're being a moron" [Cara]

" I'm pretty sure [DovBear] is a really great guy who just wants to be able to ask questions and talk about things without the fear of someone claiming he's off the derech or on his way there." [Chaviva]

"DovBear is an awesome blogger..." [Hadassah]

"...notwithstanding his misguided politics, I am amused by the postings of DovBear." [MoChassid]

"He's a despicable person of the lowest order." [Yehupitz]
