Reply To: The real reason for the ban against chassidish women driving?

I’m kinda torn on this one. I agree completely that it’s none of our business. Completely.

But on the other hand there have been waaaay too many news stories about those types of things spilling over into expectations of the secular world in not pretty ways. (such as re-arranging airplane passengers to meet your wants, for one).

If you could promise me that this wouldn’t blow up into some chillul Hashem, unfair demands on the outside public or even people within the community who disagree being ostracized/mistreated as if they were desecrating a halacha (or those inside being raised to believe that this is a halacha then I’d be fine with it.

So these stories do set my teeth on edge but I also agree that it isn’t about us. Unless it’s made to be.
