I find the name Animal, Vegetable, Biblical super cringe.

Between the 2, I'd go with Animal, Vegetable, Biblical. But I work in science, not marketing, so what do I know?

Always good to have parve topics to throw in in middle of your stupid (ignorant is a better word) rants against Charedim

I know you think you're fighting a war לשם שמים, but you don't see how you come off. You can email me for further discussion (email in my bio)

I'm just wondering: Did you never learn how to be a decent human being, or do you think such rules don't apply in comment boxes? Or both?

Because you sure don't act like one here. I guess Torah (if indeed you have any of that) and middot don't necessarily go together.

Ari Fuld would roll over in his grave

Why?

Because you are using his motto to write a stance against Charedim.

His motto? "Lion of Zion" is a simple rhyme that was used long before it was applied (posthumously, I think) to him.

Also, last I checked, Ari Fuld wasn't a charedi.

Finally, this book has nothing to do with charedim. I think they're in your head.

I don't have much of a head, apparently.

Personally, I LOVE Animal Vegetable Biblical, and I make few comments. (Lions of Zion is also great—maybe you have another book in you…) Again, personally, I also appreciate you shining a light on a difficult subject, that of the Charedim and their involvement, or lack of participation, in the war that Israel finds itself confronting—although I have only just realized how extensive your posts are. Write on!

I like the title except for the last part. It gives the implication that the status quo is not for Isreal and you are making a case for the reader to consider. It is a position of weakness.

true, but that's the claim (based on false assumptions) that the book is refuting
