Wendy Shalit essay

Mirvis was the subject of a 2005 essay by Wendy Shalit entitled "The Observant Reader" [8] in The New York Times Book Review which accused Mirvis, an orthodox Jew, of writing ostensibly "'insider' fiction (that) actually reveals the authors' estrangement from the traditional Orthodox community." Mirvis defended herself in an essay in the Jewish Daily The Forward.[9]

Stories
gollark: I'm too attached to mods to remove many, so I need impartial advice.
gollark: I want something to run better on my very memory-constrained server.
gollark: This is probably the wrong place, but there aren't others for Reikan 1.7.10 packs, so can someone help trim down the modlist here? Some are notmods or folders, as I did `ls > mods.txt`.
gollark: Oh, and also seems like you just added harder recipes for a few things. Interesting.
gollark: So...you disable omnitools, fancy armor, RC somethings, BM bound stuff (wait, that's commted out), ***TC flight***, muck with foci for some reason, AE2's "blockgrinder" (is that the grindstone ore doubly thing?) is disabled, ProjectE is destroyed, no osmium tools (what?), one builder's want gone (what?), some generators gone (what?), more flight gone, no potion rings, ... and if I understand this correctly you just hide some of the recipes rather than actually fix them...?!
