A frum woman in “People” magazine? You’ve got to be kidding. Since when is “People” magazine – that pinnacle of tabloid excess – proper reading for frum people? And how great it’s going to look to see a frum lady published in its pages!
I just voted, though I’m not a Yankees fan. I’ve seen another chapter of the Friendship Circle and it is an amazingly impressive institution.
