Ten years back I was undergoing cancer treatments and had time to watch daytime shows. The view was one of them. Not too much rocket science there. This kind of humor is tasteless dribble doled out by women trying to act like humans but not quite making the cut. I don’t practice a religion, but I have the utmost respect for someone who does. I wouldn’t want anyone laughing about me because I have a particular belief, but then I don’t take my self worth from what I wear or how I look. My self esteem comes from kind acts towards others, a practice with which this woman obviously has no practical experiance in. Good people come in all forms, with many beliefs and in all shapes and sizes, well dressed or not. This is a popular medium where lots of good people feel a need for reasons of all types to show up and promote themselves, but it never does any of them any good as far as I am concerned, because the women on this show are symply there to draw a paycheck . One would be better off reading a good book.  Dan D. I am a middle aged man , not Jewish, but married to a woman whose mother survived concentration camps in the Holocaust.

There are some good productions but unfortunately one must sift through so much trash. I am a Reform Jew and I am dismayed at the cheap shots at the Chabad.
