HYEHUDI SURVEY Speaks! A Snapshot of Sentiments

We got some replies from the grand survey… (UPDATE: now closed!)

Some of the more interesting samples (no names, of course):

 

How would you describe Hyehudi.org?

 

Groundbreaking. Revolutionary.
Hyehudi.org
Reviving a Dormant Religion Once Known as ‘Judaism’ seems to suffice
An unfiltered platform for honest, provocative, and often iconoclastic Torah-based perspectives. It fills a niche for those who feel mainstream publications are too safe or diluted.
Interesting blog, by someone very learned, with some very outlandish ideas, makes you think
radical neo-orthodox, a searcher for truth, sometimes the language is overdone.
Interesting. and mysterious.
pertinent information
Iconoclastic straight thinker.

How did you first discover Hyehudi.org?

I came across it through a link shared on a Torah forum (or maybe via a footnote on another blog). I was intrigued by the strong editorial voice and the mix of new and reprinted material.

What would you change about Hyehudi.org? (Specific feedback is helpful.)

nothing
Less about economics, more respect for Talmidei Chachomim
i can’t think of anything to change. many of the things you say i don’t agree with but that is why i read your blog.
slightly less intellectual (sometimes i feel like it’s a little over my head)
an explanation of why there is no vowel letter between the H and the y. is it pronounced HAY-yehudi?
More Torah

If you could work out a way to send all items as attachments to emails. I ask for ones that look interesting – but I probably miss a lot b/c Netfree censors. Also, the AI stuff is not really very interesting.

Also a lot of the sites you link are blocked by Netfree. If you would print to PDF and attach the articles, that would also be useful.

What would make you visit more often?

more about the Har Habayit /Bais Hamikdash. and even general politics.
More kahane
more pdf available
End of sample.
Note: I make it difficult to leave comments on the site because I lack interaction time. (I have printed readers’ comments in the past. Here are One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine examples.)

Even R’ Dovid Leibel Doesn’t Support Going to the IDF (at present)!

My evidence is this YT video where he says so himself, posted to his own YT channel (titled “הרב דוד לייבל: “זה מה שצריך לקרות כדי שנתגייס):

The heads of the IDF didn’t actually de-Shemadify the army, even according to him (yet).

Note: Unsure what happens in reality in his Hesder yeshiva or the “Kodkod” program, though. Sadly, I don’t think Rabbi D. Leibel deserves much respect, as I demonstrated his character here (Hebrew).

Give Up Galus and Fight for Jewish Safety In Our Own Country (Privately, Legally)!

Violence Against Jews (especially Israeli Jews)? Now?!

Are such events still newsworthy? The recycled horror we’ve seen since Nimrod (er, Kayin?)… and increased since Shmini Atzeres?

I’m shocked, floored. Who could have predicted human nature wouldn’t change in this world?!

Medrash Eicha 1:29:

היא ישבה בגוים לא מצאה מנוח. ר’ יודן בר’ נחמיה בשם רשב”ל אמר, אילו מצאה מנוח לא היתה חוזרת, ודכוותיה (בראשית ח’) ולא מצאה היונה מנוח, ודכוותה (דברים כ”ח) ובגוים ההם לא תרגיע ולא יהיה מנוח לכף רגלך.

Claude’s translation:

“She dwelled among the nations but found no rest”.

Rabbi Yudan bar Rabbi Nehemiah said in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish: Had she found rest, she would not have returned. And similarly [Genesis 8:9] ‘And the dove found no rest,’ and similarly [Deuteronomy 28:65] ‘And among those nations you shall not be tranquil, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot’.

Another day, another scary headline… (N)ever again. How quaint.

Aliyah, anyone??
