yitayningwut: “It could be that chazal never said that the woman must wash her husbands feet, they just said she has to do whatever is normal for a woman to do for her husband. The reason they said she has to wash his feet is simply a translation of that rule into the language of their day and age. In other words, washing the husband’s feet is the application, not the law.”
<hereorthere asked: “So doing what is normal in society is part of the rule of obeying the husband in this case?”>
yitayningwut: “I don’t know, it’s a good question.”
First you’re trying to explain it is a general rule, then when asked if its a general rule, you answer you don’t know???
Also, no one denies that the halacha of obeying ones husband (“???”) is a general halacha, aside from specifics.
