Making Halachah look like a joke or like a yoke?
I have not been hired to eliminate foolish behaviour in public among those who are (or claim to be) observant Jews, and cause people to make a mockery of Judaism and Torah, but actually I would support that. It might not be a bad idea if some people were in charge of that: a good-manners and common-sense police. Say, they could start with silencing those on the trucks who chant Na Na. Ohhh but that’s not politically correct, we must not hurt the delicate sensitivity of our Baalei Teshuva brothers. Wait, is the man in the picture not a Baal Teshuva as well? See, as I said all along. Only a certain (very specific) sort of people are suitable targets for nastiness, everyone else can do whatever they see fit and no one objects.
PS I wish some of the effort expended in attempting to ridicule the person in the photo had been diverted towards real and serious problems such as the burka ladies.
