I know exactly what you mean. Let me introduce you to Harry, the eagle. One day Harry the eagle waited at the nest for Mary his darling of 10 glorious years. After a while, when she didn't return, he went looking and found her. She had been shot. Dead! Harry was devastated. After about six minutes of mourning, he decided that he must get himself another mate but since there weren't any lady eagles available he'd have to cross the feather barrier. So he flew off to find a new mate. He found a lovely dove and brought her back to the nest. The sex , despite the talk was, well, ok, but all the dove would say all day long was "I am a DOVE, I want to love!? I am a DOVE, I want to love!" Well this really got on Harry's nerves. So he kicked the dove out of the nest and flew off once more to find a mate. He found a very sexy loon and brought her back to the nest. The sex was ok, but all day long it was, "I am a LOON, I want to spoon! I am a LOON, I want to spoon!" That was worse than the dove, so out went the Loon. Once more Harry flew off to find a mate. This time he found a gorgeous-looking duck, and so he brought the duck back to the nest. Before they even got to the sex part, all the duck would yell was.....well, you know...... >>> No, the duck Did Not say THAT!!!!!? That's an awful thing for you to think! The duck said, "I am a DRAKE you made a MISTAKE !

-- it seems that fundamentalist men of all stripes who can't control it find the easiest way out is to blame the woman for their own lack of self control. This is in the same catagory as blaming the gay community in Jerusalem for the destructive riots of the Haredim protesting against that community.

A woman's voice happens to add to her appeal and it is similar to a woman who wears immodest clothing. It doesn't affect the rest of the world so much because they are desensitized to it just like seeing a woman in a miniskirt. Yes, they can turn away but they shouldn't have to live with it in their communities and on their radio stations. If they all turned off the radio station when a woman's voice was on then there wouldnt be a haredi station. Stop bashing haredim because you look at and hear inappropriate things. Better their life than the life of a pervert who is desensitized to such things.

It's always somebody else's fault. What a great way to go through life. And I'm just ever so thankful that I was born wearing fig leaves. I wonder who the dirtbag was who checked on my gender. Why don't we just outlaw sex and procreate via in vitro fertilization. Wouldn't that just about put an end to men? After all, we temptresses wouldn't need men, anymore. Those sperm banks, I'm sure, are a lot easier to keep clean, too. We wouldn't need to cook for them, pick up after them, do their laundry and listen to their constant whining about what all is wrong with us. We could have our hen parties and enjoy our apple strudel without worrying about getting griped at for coming home late, etc. etc. Oh, ok, somebody has to mow the lawn and move the heavy furniture. We'll keep a few stout ones. What kind of thinking is it that denies, punishes and denigrates the very thing that god has created? Adam asked god why He had made Eve so beautiful. God answered, "So you would love her." When he asked why He had made her not as smart as him, He said, "So she would love you." My husband used to tell me that he could never, ever figure out what, on god's green earth, made women put up with men. I didn't tell him about the heavy furniture and the lawn :-)

Thanks, #5, you said it perfectly. Surely Eliyahu could get air time on other stations? Why bother w/the haredi stations if they're so ridiculously bigoted? He's a talented singer (better than Sarit, sorry to say)...he just needs a good agent.

Listening to Fayzakov reminds me of many young Meshor'rim in traditional cantorial choirs. As a Hazzan myself, I question whether it is fair to ban this singer whose voice apparently never changed.

men should not listen to the voices of women?

on this page, if you're able to find it.? It would be greatly appreciated.

It's Haredi radio so they have a right to broadcast what they wish. However, this is one of those things that projects to the world a negative side of Israel and a stifeling of talent and expression.

You can say "THANK YOU" to Ynet for the promotion of your CD .

It's good and there's a lot of interest in it. Another idea: Of the music that you sell, why not give readers a taste of it? Those performers are not well known by the non-Israeli audience.

Well, here goes the rumor that all Joooooos know how to make money. When did things go from that to "please, please, tell me where to spend money"????? This is not just un-Jewish, it's un-American. Most importantly, at least to me, that 311 concert is on the 19th of July, and if I don't have proof that I've ordered that CD, I won't get the tickets from the granddaughter, and that will open several other cans of worms. Jihadists have nothing on that one, if she cancels a date, because she thinks grandma is getting those tickets and then ends up having to go with a girl-friend. And if said date should turn up at that same concert with some other woman, it'll be the definition of "wrath of god" in livid color. So, please, Ynet, somebody, anybody: I desperately neeeeeeeeeeeeeed to find out where to get that CD.

I fully sympathize with your desperate situation. Have you thought of contacting the Israeli Consulate? Phone them and explain the situation with all the high drama it merits. Somebody there should take pity of you Mrs Hartley. Good luck! (And about the Joos.... they don't act normal, do they? Some of them seem to have had their minds taken over by Aliens from the Andromeda galaxy. Don't the "Pees Now" folks make you wonder sometimes? Or those at the Knesset? I have an interesting theory that I'd be glad to share with you some other time.)

As far-fetched as it may be, I do thank you for your idea, especially since there is an Israeli Consulate here in Atlanta. Heck, the good people there may need a good laugh. Just in case, though, I'll call them from a friend's 'phone. I wouldn't want anyone to do one of those reverse searches, find out where I live and surround my house with guys in white coats. As for the "Pees Now" people, I spell and pronouce the first word a little differently, and since I have a slight, indefinable accent, I can say it with a straight face, and nobody has had the heart, yet, to tell me, "But, darlin', I really don't need to go right this minute." I can't comment on Israel's internal politics, because it is totally lost on me. I don't know who elects whom and how, for what period of time and when or why a religious court trumps which secular situation. That last one sounds a bit like an "ACLU of the Council of Churches," and that's an oxymoron of major proportions. Again, I thank you for your suggestion.

But I dont see where there is a need to ban someone because they never went through puberty.

Do you remember Tiny Tim? Compared to him, Fayzakov is a booming bass. Tiny Tim, if I remember correctly, was Jewish.
