1. Good
James ,   Australia   (01.29.11)
Women are disgusting anyway. The Haredim should throw the women out of Israel. Who needs em?
2. shame!
(01.29.11)
3. That would be a male cat of course.
Secular of Bnei Brak ,   Bnei Brak Israel   (01.29.11)
4. Pathetic
Phoenix ,   Israel   (01.29.11)
The Haredim are so ignorant, primitive and pathetic. They would fit very well in Iran, Arab a-Saud or any of those other places full with more primitive, ignorant and pathetic people.
5. Get a grip
Jane ,   USA   (01.29.11)
I imagine the Israeli folk song content can only be sung by men? The Glatube folks can do what they want, but they're not part of any Jewish tradition I know. Will they delete Miriam from the Torah? her "Song of the Sea?" Good taste is one thing; these people are over the top.
6. I agree, haredim are just so primitive.
david ,   uk   (01.29.11)
7. #6 haredim are so primitive & secular are so promiscuous

8. another well-meant step in wrong direction. what's news???
Dati Leumi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.30.11)
9. LOL - HAHAHAAAa, wow what wisdom???
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.30.11)
Whoever thought of this and whoever sponsored it really put the "dom" in wisdom. (unless they're making some money off this) If a Haredi or any other person for that matter is watching something that they are forbidden to watch by their rabbi in the first place, why would they tune into "KosherJewtube" after the fact? Is there going to be different settings for the various levels of observance too? Or does every Jewish denomination have to make their own version with their own hecture just like the food? Everybody knows that mouths are also a sex organ, how come you don't cover those up too? :^O This is just a feeble attempt to control free thinking people. Women are human beings and shouldn't be censored!!!! When you do anything to the extreme, you will end up doing the opposite of your original intention. When you restrict something it will only be that much more tempting. When you deprive yourself, you will become even more sensitive and weak. If you can't even resist a little temptation, how god fearing are you in the first place?
10. its a good idea because it lets them enjoy internet use
zionist forever   (01.30.11)
Married men do not look at other women other than their wives so they don't want a website you can upload videos without women it makes sure that nothing that would be considered immodest etc. Haredi lifestyle is not backwards or Iranian style attitudes to religion its just not secular. There is nothing wrong with having so called kosher sites. The internet has something for everybody. The people who like porn will look at the porn sites, the people who like music look at music sites and people who are religious will look at the kosher sites.
11. there is nothing halachicly wrong with showing a women
shike ,   netanya israel   (01.30.11)
there is nothing halachicly wrong with showing a women dressed modestly on a video clip. singing i would agree unless her voice is overthrone by male vocals. with all the respect to the idea ,it is over extrime. i dont recall devorah miriam or any of the great zadikot talking from behind a screen. nor do i remeber an isor not to show a great rabanit picture. now is the time to show modest women and how they dress and act in the world and not hide them. this behaviour is what leads ignorant people to believe in " sex blanket"! so mpls rethink
12. Live and Let Live
Sara Heisler ,   Bnei Brak Israel   (01.30.11)
Why should it bother anyone if religious Jews want a kosher you tube, telephone or internet. All the negative remarks about haredim are uncalled for.
13. An Alternative to the Alternative
Shlomo Wollins ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.31.11)
I founded WeJew.com almost 4 years ago to provide a healthier and more Jewish-friendly video sharing website. It is now the largest Jewish video website with over 8,500 videos and nearly 5,000 members - we moderate and screen every video but not to the standards of this article. Check out WeJew.com as you will find the best of both worlds - amazing Jewish content from movies to news - and 99% about Israel or the Jewish people and experience.
14. LOL! - what's it called JewTube?
Talula ,   Israel   (02.02.11)
15. so, what is the name of the site?
