as wow explained anything that is not appealing or comfortable to do is ‘extra’ to yiddishkeit.
9 days, as we all know, is mourning the beis hamikdash and someone that grew up in a frum home is aware of this. what and why do I have to do to make this appealing??
and about the showers, I am aware there are heteirim. but daily?
He is not a construction worker.. doesnt meet with people on a daily basis.. just his bed and the phone.
interjection- my home is not such a restrictive home.
judaism is not only about restriction but it is only about comfort?
