“”I have spent much of my life studying Torah…I think that what these men do is wrong”
Well you better spend a bit more time studying because in MY Torah it says that it’s forbidden to look or speak to woman who aren’t related to you. And even if it’s not Ossur it’s defiantely a good thing not to greet woman so why can’t you accept it that some people want to be more stringent in Halacha??? “
Are you insinuating that you have a different Torah then the rest of us?
If you are, please leave this site and go to Jews for J (C’V). Since you are not, is there a better way to state your point?
I reiterate what I said in the Lakewood elections post:
1: There is a difference between Chumrah (to the point of Chossid Shoyte) and Halacha. “The orthodoxy we know” includes much of the former, and not enough of the latter.
2: There is only one truth. Moshe Emes V’Toraso Emes. I believe jewishfeminist02’s point is that you (whomever you are, myself included) do not have that truth, as you are not G-d. To claim that you do have absolute truth or its interpetation to the exclusion of all others is extremely arrogant and borders on self deification.
Your Rav may be closer to G-d than you are and therefore may have a better idea of the “absolute truth”, but it is still not a “monopoly on truth”.
The daykan in me is Mechalek between shoel and mayshiv Shalom, as well as Roy’e and Mistakel. Please consider such as well.
