Ever since it was founded in 1897, the Yiddish newspaper Forverts (Forward) has run a column called "A Bintel Brief"--"A Packet of Letters", one of the first advice columns in any newspaper, and the forerunner of "Ann Landers" and "Dear Abby."

One of the classic Q&As:

Q: Can a freethinker go to the synagogue?
A; Of course--Izzy goes to the synagogue to talk with G-d, and I go to the synagogue to talk with Izzy.
