Chareidi columnist Jonathan Rosenblum has given his explicit haskamah (endorsement) to this blog and others. Writing in the June 6th 2008 edition of the Yated Ne'eman, Rosenblum bemoans the censorship endemic in closed societies:
"We in the frum community tend to think of the blogosphere exclusively as a cesspool of character assassination and worse. But in many places in the world it is also a vital agent for freedom from oppressive dictatorships. Some of the greatest heroes on earth are anonymous bloggers in places like Iran and China casting a searching light on the leaders of their own societies. Dictatorships can no longer completely silence and terrorize their critics. "Perhaps someone should inform Rosenblum, to use an age-old aphorism, that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
