About Modern Rashi

Welcome to Modern Rashi, the place where Jewish stupidity comes to die a loud and embarrassing death.

If you are here for polite takes, curated opinions, or that soft, apologetic Jewish tone that makes half the community sound like they were raised by HR departments, you have taken a wrong turn. This is not that site. This is the site where we say the quiet parts out loud and then underline them until someone cries about it on Facebook.

I write about everything the frum world would prefer to sweep under your oven broiler: bad hashkafa, bad education, bad theology, bad politics, and the bad thinkers who proudly defend all of it. If someone in the Jewish world said something stupid, cowardly, or self hating, Modern Rashi is where they get dissected, with receipts, spice and flair.
