I am a goyem (sp) who recently stumbled upon your site, and I
think it's hysterical. I
find it refreshing to see how despite the differences among Jews,
you all manage to stick together and make the best of it- with
humor and wit. I have
long observed the Jewish community from afar with wonder and
curiosity. This site
has helped me better understand the psyche of the Jewish people.
I think it is still very easy for people to be categorized
and stereotyped- whatever religion, race or color they may be.
There is a certain sensitivity that has now been bred into
us over the years. In
a way it's good, because it affords us a certain level of comfort
level with who we are. On
the other hand though, we have become afraid to laugh at those
things that are innocuous, but funny as hell!
Anyway, please keep up the good work. I hope you don't mind that I
have found your little humor gem among so much rubble on the net.
Thanks,
Matthew Segota 1/29/04

I came across your very creative website on a search for Conan O'Brian and ended up staying a while.
I just wanted to let you know I thought it was so much fun.
I don't think I have ever met a Jewish person (no synagogues around here). I'm coming to New York next week, maybe I'll get the chance to take in some Jewish culture!
(won't that be too much a fish outta water!! redneck girl comes to the big apple!) ya'll might see me on the street gawking......if so, say hello... I'll be the one with the accent.
Kathy January 16, 2004
I just thought you'd appreciate that the Timeout New York spread
"The new super Jews," would would be offensive in its
Anti-Semitic nature if not for the
fact that the editorial staff is horribly on crack if they think
adam Goldberg is an example of a cool Jew. At the very least, they
could have put you guys on the cover.

So I'm doing some peripheral web
browsing tonight here in Jerusalem, and I come across your site.
I've heard about it, but being isolated in the middle east far from
Manhattan culture, never realized it was your creation. I have to
say KOL HAKAVOD. It's hysterically funny and original, and I'm very
proud of you both. It's enough to kvell for hours.

I lived at 495 West 186h Street, right across the
street from Yeshiva, for a dozen years. I never
became Orthodox, but did do "little things" that most
of the non-observant Jews in the building did -- like
walk several blocks out my way every Shabbat, if I
"carried". And, every Summer, between Tisha B'av and
Rosh Chodosh Elul, when NOBODY's around, not even
Smincha students, I'd help make the mincha minyan. I
rarely got out early enough to be at schacharit.
I'm telling you all that because it helps to have a
little background to get the jokes. And I do, just a
smidgen.
Your site is great, great, great. Bangitout.com is
tremendous fun, even for a very non-observant, non
Hebrew speaking, apostate Conservadox Jew, like me.
At work, one of the Orthodox guys says I'm doomed to
Hell (well, he says gehina) because I know a lot of
what an observant Jew is supposed to do, but I don't
do it -- I hope he's wrong.
Be good. Be funny. Be nice.

Subj: love your site
Hey! I love Bangitout. And I'm from NJ. Do you have websites made by fans? Are you worried that your site promotes stereotypes about Jews? I like the top 10 lists. I never dated a Lubavitcher but they used to come to my college (Richard Stockton College of NJ) in a van with a giant blinking menorah on top and leave behind leaflets.
Well I must go. L'Shanah Tova!

im wrinting this email to ask you - what in the world were you thinking - i
understand you want to make people laugh.
but to do it through making fun the way you do of Judiasm is an ebarrassment
to all of the jews you should all be ashamed of yourself - im sure this is not the first email
you got like this and you may have already deleted this before you read up to this but just have in mind as you continue this horrible disgusting discrace to
Judiasm website have in mind the "Din ViCheshban" you will have to answer to

means to be Jewish - I'm all for fun - but if your readers had 1/2 ounce
of knowledge of what it means to be a Jew - there would be no room for
such shuts and degradations!!!!!! Last time I checked, we're all Jewish so how about finding out why
certain Jews do this and some do that!?!?!?!? Use your site for good

Hello. I was browsing your website (which by the way is great), when I
stumbled upon your 'Bang the Rabbi' page. I cannot tell you how much I
enjoyed the Divrei Torah. I especially found Rabbi Zauderer's pieces (Shabbos Reinforcement and Jerusalem, I Hardly Know Him!) both fascinating
and intriguing. Could you please provide me with some information on his
background? It mentions something about being an expert on the Shoulin
Dynasty I would love to hear more about that, he seems so impressive. Maybe
he can write a weekly feature article; see what you can do.
Thanks for your help.

Here are top 10 reasons why I write for bangitout.com:
10. Gives my siblings yet another reason to look up to
me.
9. Pathetic attempt to impress my in-laws
8. The voices in my head compelled me to do it
7. Constructive way of practicing my wacky
one- finger typing
6. Answers question of what I do all day at work
5. Also answers what I do on weekends
4. Keeps me from going crazy on the interminably long
trips commuting every day
3. Alot more interesting emails to send to my friends
than just regular "hi how are you, i am good"
2. My way of showing "there's a little Slim Shady in
all of us"
1. Gave in to my burning desire to join in the
relatively intellectual banter that is bangitout.com

although some of the stuff is funny it is downright sacrilegious. if
you're really frum keep away from this web site. and if you aren't you
should become a baal teshuva and keep away too. it's not right to make
fun of our Holy religion with all those dirty, treife, goyishe jokes
From: vze2gfbx@verizon.net:.
First off - I think the site's really cool and sometimes truly funny. Yashar
Koach. My point is this, and please take this in the right way, as it's not meant to be disparaging: Granted that New Yorkers took a terrible hit a few months back, so you would presumably have the right to goof around and be humorous without owing an explanation to anyone. But Jews are being slaughtered by the multitude in Israel every day, on a scale probably unmatched since the Holocaust. These are very unique times, a true "Et Tzara
Le'Yaakov", and in my opinion a site like yours, which targets young modern orthodox Jews, who
are ostensibly deeply committed to Israel, should reflect the "situation". I'm not saying drop the humor, of course not, it's as important as ever. But maybe the joking should be to some extent balanced out by other stuff. Hey - it's your site, and you make the call, I'm just pointing out that it's really incongruent to go from reading about 20 Jews murdered in Jerusalem to some top 10 list about Camp Moshava in-jokes. We're all Jews and we're all in this together (I hope in spirit at least). Again - great site and no
intent to hurt anyone's fealings; just imparting my thoughts.
Be well, antimony20@hotmail.com
Hi
I lived on the West Side for a few
years and it's fun to "visit" the neighborhood on your website.
(I'm happily living in Yerushalayim now)
I thought another amusing column or
article could be shul reviews. Or at least a listing and
categorization or analysis of the different shuls in the area,
pros/cons, populations, etc. The same could go for restaurants (is
there really that much of a difference?) Who goes there, who you
would want to avoid.
All in good fun, of course.
Good luck

Humor and Torah galore
Jobs, and oh so much more
For top tens they are the best
For Purim they aced the test
In YU they were Hirsch talmidim
Graduated to Blumberg chasidim
Of Jewish life they make fun
Keep in mind its just a pun
The site has a unique name
its even received int'l fame
By email they do correspond
W/Arye D. they like to bond

THE
BIG BANG AT THE JC
This past week
(10/20/2001), I delivered a sermon at The Jewish Center's "Parallel
Service" which focused on issues of appropriate speech. Since
many Upper West Siders are reading and writing on bangitout.com,
I alluded to the site and to the fact that much of it is brilliant
and very funny, but some of its content crosses the line of propriety.
Some people speculated that Seth and Isaac must have secretly sponsored
the sermon in order to increase the traffic to bangitout.com, but
this silly rumor is obviously untrue (although traffic did triple
the day after the sermon). The real point of the sermon was for
me to not only get a piece of my own writing onto bangitout.com,
but in fact to get it posted front and center.
I met with
Seth and Isaac this week to talk about the sermon and the site,
and we had a very open, friendly, and productive conversation.
In talking
to many people who have approached me this week, I realized that
what I said had caused Seth and Isaac embarrassment, and I apologized
to them for that. I had said in the sermon that I was not focusing
on any individuals -- that the message was meant for the community
as a whole, because so many people are writing and reading things
(which I think of as) better left unwritten and unread. But I realize
that despite that, many people took what I said as directed specifically
against Seth and Isaac, so I wanted to clarify and apologize. I've
known both guys on and off for several years, and I know they are
good people with good intentions. I have never thought of them as
anti-Judaism or anti-rabbis.
I mentioned
in the sermon that the site is truly funny (OK, a lot of it is funny),
and that a lot of what's there expresses what's really on people's
minds as they negotiate careers, personal lives, and religious lives.
I was not specific about what I found troubling about the site,
but while Seth, Isaac, and I met, we visited bangitout together
and I offered one or two examples of the kind of stuff which, to
my mind, crosses the line. We all agreed that what's improper can
often be very funny; we also agreed that it's still improper, and
after looking at an example or two, we all agreed that some things
on the site do cross the line and should be removed. Some articles
have been rejected in the past because they crossed that line, too.
Some people
have asked me, and some have asked Seth and Isaac: If I felt that
some things should be taken off the site, why I didn't just speak
to them privately rather than publicly? To explain my thinking:
What I said on Shabbat really was not directed at the Galenas more
than at everyone else; if it had been, I certainly would have spoken
just to them. But I spoke to the community as a whole because the
message does indeed have to do with everyone, and is not an individual
issue; the message was for everyone reading and contributing to
the site. My goal was not to have particular lines deIeted from
a particular website, but to raise everyone's attention and awareness
of the issue of what's right to write and read.
I mentioned
on Shabbat that I hoped this would be the beginning of a community
conversation, and so far that has certainly been the case. If you'd
like to speak with me to talk -- either to meet, call, email, or
just talk after shul -- I'd be glad to do so.

Dear Webmaster --Your site has been picked as the USAJewish Site
of the week. All the best!
Yori Yanover, Chief Editor

I can't believe I've lived on the UWS for almost two years and
I just discovered your site (from a friend who just moved here,
no less). Who are
you people? I had to bite my cheeks to keep from making a scene
at work. Anyway, if you made a long-sleeved shirt with the guitar
logo on it, I would
definitely get one.Chaya Lung
Hey gang -- I'm Michael Steinhart, also known as Yaakov Steinhart,
and for some reason, I didn't happen upon your site until this week.
I thought I had
my finger on the pulse of edgy frumkeit, but your site dashed my
delusions of hipness to pieces. -

I just wanted to tell you guys how much I love your website. If you
are looking for any venture capital contributions, please let me know.
All the best,

Offiering,
I must say honestly, I found the site to be fun and very refreshing.
It reminded me of my of Skokie Yeshiva days in Chicago and the Vaad
Ha Shtick that we had.

Subject: Bang Grrrrls
As a longtime bangitout fan with a particular affinity for
BangForwards,
I just want to address one concern. Despite what our phalo-centric
culture might suggest, Girlz bang too. Sure it's not the same as
the way a guy might bang, but nonetheless, it happens. So how do
you think we sistahs feel when instead of being encouraged to bang,
we are told to simply "slut it up?" Womyn everywhere want to bang
with the knowledge that their bangs, while feminine, are still raging.
Keep up the great work you male chauvenist pigs.

To my dearest duplicated bangable friends,
What the Bang happened to me!??!?!!??!?! I have not seen a reference
to myself or the great city of Cleveland on your website! That?s
Banged up! Next time I?ll be sure to follow Bangitout.com protocol:
1) Buy Slut Gear
2) Follow the Bangitout.com Party Van everywhere it goes.
3) Defer on leaving NYC for a cashier?s job at Office Max in Cleveland
(unless you are married or want to become the midwest correspondent
for bangitout.com)
4) Get dating and cooking advice from the midwest sensation, Wendy
Dworkin.
5) Buy More slut gear

Dear Seth,
I have been a fan of your website for fifeen years now, and I am still
unable to bang. Well, I can bang as well as Avi Korn, but maybe not
so well as Aryeh Dworkin. Do you have any suggestions for the large
screaming fanbase that comprises the unbanging population? Is there
a 12-step program? Must you be from Philadelphia?
I've tried many remedies. I've lived outside New York, went to
YU (the academic banging capital of the world), spent several Shabboses
on the Upper West Side, and I've slept with Avi Korn. I also adopted
a Philipine Pygmy, and named him Isaac. He doesn't speak English
yet, but even he is well on his way to banging, while I am left
in the arid desert that is the land of the non-banging. Do you know
how many New Yorkers are here with me? The statistics are enough
to drive a person insane.
So please, Seth, while I waste away my hours at work writing this
e-mail, please come up with instructions, maybe translated from ancient
Japanese like my VCR manual, and my Tanach, on how me, and others
like me- and we are legion, let me tell you- can bang.
Chuck "Dana Casher" Cohen,
non-banger extraordinnaire, and butt of future jokes regarding work
and e-mail incompetence.
Never has such an immense amount of free time been put to such
good use..well except for maybe those guys that are curing disease,
feeding the hungry, negotiating world peace and stuff.
Kudos,
Davida
This site was great! Finally, a place where i could learn about
the migrating and mating habits of Bangi Trout. Thanks, bangitrout

Mr. Webmaster,
I must say, I accidentally stumbled upon your website
while I was trying to set up my own personal hate site domain. I
am a professional southern klansman and general biggot with a strong
focus towards minorities and the Baldwins. While i decided to set
up my excommunication site, i tried Ban,'Git Out! .com , and fell
upon your site. After spending much time banging through the entertaining
forwards and Daily Bangs, in addition to a number of your thought-provoking
Special Features, I feel that my philosiphy on life was mis-guided.
You have helped me to the true road in life- I am becoming a beat-nick
hippie, who has a membership at OZ, and an affinity towards slutty-frum
women with cell phones. Is there a kiddush at KOE this shabbos?

Hey bangers,
I wanted to inform you that I stumbled upon your web
site on accident, but it was quit possible the best thing that happened
to me. After reading your banging material, I started banging, off
and on. After a while, but not before I was ready, I started banging
every week. Now I bang everyday, sometimes even twice a day. I tell
you I have more energy, I am stronger and I look better too. I tell
ya my life has changed for the better.
Thanks Bang it Out guys

"i have a headache like hell is on fire in my brain. i am clenching
my teeth really tight all the time and i feel like my eyes are going
to pop out of my head in seconds. i am on my second cup of coffee
and i am going to fall over. the only decent sleep i got last night
was for the five minutes between snooz presses from 7:15-7:20, during
which i drooled uncontrolably for the first time since 5752(taf
shin nun bet). i somehow got to the train by 7:45...
..and that's a Hangover that Bangs!"
Dear Sirs,
As a prominent member of the Philadelphia community, I am writing
you to issue my intense dissapointment with the new inernet web
site entitled "bang it out dot com". I had previously heard scandelous
allegations involving a permanent emigration of the Galena Brothers
"Seth" and "Isaac" from their native home in Philadelphia. Despite
my unwillingnmess to accept such a rumor, I sadly learned from reliable
informants and several well--respected national publications that
it was, indeed, factual in nature.
To my further dismay, I have recently had the displeasure of "clicking"
on the new website. I noticed immediately an obvious lack of references
to heir hometown, the proverbial hood from which they grew. Seth
even details his involvement in a well-know New York firm, which
shall remain nameless due to legal considerations still pending
at this time.
In fact, The only time the word "philly" appears on the site, there
is a shameful error line put through it. I also wish to draw you
attention to the "daily bang", March 3, 2001 which is replete with
torrid references to the "Upper West Side", among others. Furthermore,
the unwitting involvement of the Galena mother, a dedicated member
of the Philadelphia community for as long or perhaps even longer
than myself, is entirely uncalled for and clearly withour her knowledge
or consent.
I write to you first in order to give you time to mend your ways.
As "Purim", the Jewish holy day of atonement nears, please make
use of the opportunity to avail yourselves of this terrible misdeed.
Clean yourselves with drink, and mend your deeds through it's healing
ways. It truly would be unfortunate to get R. Hirsch involved.
A wise man once said, "Whos gonna win the race? the pig? or the
cow? uh oh, here comes the pig - but wait, the cows gonna win! the
pig lost the race - do we eat the pig? No, we dont eat the pig,
its not kosher! thats right, its not kosher!"
Not kosher indeed.
Sincerely,
Joshua Landa
