]]> Comment on Twilight: Kosher Vampires? by Steve Wigginshttp://originaljewish.com/2009/11/19/twilight-kosher-vampires/comment-page-1/#comment-24 Steve Wiggins Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:46:58 +0000 http://originaljewish.com/?p=321#comment-24 Very insightful!

]]> Comment on Some defense of the range on Halakhic opinion in the Conservative Movement by OJhttp://originaljewish.com/2009/07/01/some-defense-cj-halakha/comment-page-1/#comment-5 OJ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:38:45 +0000 http://originaljewish.com/?p=120#comment-5 I should note that I, myself, don't call myself "Conservative" and am a member of both a Conservative shul and Orthodox one. However, I was at one point a very "frum Conservative Jew" and still have a lot of respect for the academic aspects of the movement, though am generally disappointed at how it plays out in the community.

In 2002 my then girlfriend asked me about the laws of kashrut for birds, and I pulled out the article from my binder and gave it to her. I was so proud to have such a cool article easily accessible. I love the way the argumentation in this and other articles in that journal works. It's great that it's available online now.
