The new school year and other obligations are keeping this mom busy, but I did get something interesting in my inbox and wanted to share it with you even though I don't have time to write a lengthier piece here to accompany these videos. I am NOT happy to hear and report these dismal predictions about the end of America, however, I think it is important to listen, examine it, and make some decisions.
From an email I received: "Russian Professor Igor Panarin says that events are continuing to confirm his doomsday prediction first made over 10 years ago, that the U.S. completely collapse like the Soviet Union before the end of 2010 & warns that the chaos could begin to unfold in as little as 2 months.

Obama & The Re-Making of America
by Tamar Yonah
So many things to write about and so little time. Well, here's some things I've been saving up for you to watch, some funny, some definitely not. It's a lot to watch, so I won't bog down this blog post with too much text.
Batman meets the Joker:
And here's a youtube video that has gone viral, a dog who won't take any treats from Obama.
And this piece was done by one of our listeners David E. about Obama's seemingly lack of respect for state sovereignty.
(IsraelNN.com) US President Barak Obama blessed the Muslim world on Saturday to mark the beginning of the Muslim Ramadan festival.
In the special address he reiterrated his support for a "Palestinian state" and said it would allow Israel and Arabs to live in "peace and security". Obama also said that the Ramadan rituals "remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."
Well, so much for 'advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings'. This video below came into my inbox tonight, poor girl!

Jew In The City: The Intimate Life of a Jewish Woman
by Tamar Yonah
How do religious Jews date? Why do married Jewish women cover their hair? Why can't a married couple touch each other during certain times of the month?
Ever wonder what it's like to live the life of a religious Jewish woman? I interviewed Allison Jospehs today from 'Jew In The City' , a website that answers questions about Jewish lifestyles and explains why Jews do the things they do in religious observance.
From her website: Some have called her an Orthodox Carrie Bradshaw. Others say that she's the next Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis. Allison Josephs (a.k.a. Jew in the City) doesn't focus much on comparisons, she simply wants to re-brand Orthodox Jews and Judaism. Both have gotten a very negative reputation over the years due to isolated scandals that have made the headlines as well as movies, books, and TV shows that have repeated and reinforced misconceptions and stereotypes about religious Jewish people and their lifestyles. (The hole in the sheet, anyone?)
Allison's website, Jew In The City lets her answer your questions about intimacy, modesty, holiness, and the inner goings-on of a Jewish woman. Allison has also written, directed, and produced several videos for Aish.com and is a regular blogger on ModestlyYours.net. Her articles and blogs have appeared in The Washington Times, World Jewish Digest, Aish.com, and The Jewish Star. She is also the Torah study partner for Mayim Bialik, the actress who is famous for her 5 year run show called, 'Blossom". Bialik is finding her path towards observant Judaism as documented in this interview. Here's one of Allison's videos below with a guest appearance from Bialik. It's cute and it's educational and you can watch more from Allison's site.
