I'm 23, I live in Crown Heights and I write well. Deal with it :)


To all the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations of the discriminated BT�s we dedicate this song. Perhaps the greatest song ever written (about BTs). Hi Hazra b'Tshuva by Matti Caspi.

S. H. comments to The Unchosen post:
TA - You know very well that education neither starts nor stops in grade school. To assume that a frum little girl from Crown Heights couldn't possibly write well is precisely the kind of condescension that has lead quite a few friends of mine to the idea that in order to be educated, worldly, persuasive in this world, they�d have to do something drastic to completely shed this shameful, plebian past. I�m no spokeswoman for self-educated frum girls but I can tell you a thing or two about the masses of young Jewish women who are extremely knowledgeable in topics Jewish and secular, make very successful careers for themselves, raise Jewish families in the proper chasidisher way, all while maintaining the fa�ade of just the average Hasidic housewife that not only fools the idiot reporters who think they�ve really cashed in by meeting this anomaly called Malkie but very surprisingly fool you too! True, this kind of �liberation� wasn�t always possible in the ultra-orthodox world, but by now it�s pretty much a moot point. Most women work, a large number are beginning to attend college (because it isn�t a crime to develop skills that will actually pay), and believe it or not we may actually come across as educated and interesting individuals who have something unique to contribute. I�m hesitant to tell you who I am, but you�ll have to take my word for it: I�m 23, I live in Crown Heights and I write well. Deal with it :)
