The Best of JITC in 2008
In case any of you have been too intimidated to search the archives of the JITC blog, I figured that with 2008 coming to a close, I'd put together some of the posts I had the most fun writing this past year. Thank you to everyone who responded to the "Who Are You?" post - I'll be answering each and every email I receive. And stay tuned for Episode 4 of Jew in the City, coming out early next month!

New Video Up!
If you haven't visited the video section of the website recently, you'll want to mosey on over there now as I posted a new video yesterday and will be releasing a new one every month for the next four months! In the meantime, my baby boy has decided to start eating every hour to hour and a half - that's 20-24 feedings a day!!! Continue reading New Video Up!

Is "Sex and the City" treyf?
Dear Jew in the City,
This may seem like a very odd question, however is it deemed immodest for a modern Orthodox Jew to go to the cinema to watch films like "Sex and the City"?
Kind Regards,
Matt
