OOmis -“The cost is not the inyan, the halacha of tatooing is.”
Sorry to inform you – wasting money Is against the Torah/Halacha whether you admit it or not.
“Unless you are also a Rov in addition to being in the health field, B”H what you hold does not have any impact on the women I was thinking about.”
So are You a Rov/Rabbanit that posts here?
No, you probably are just s/o expressing her opinion. That is what the CR is all about – expressing opinions – I was expressing mine.
“Do you also object to women spending thousands of dollars over the course of time, to buy NON-permanent makeup?
(wait, you probably do)”
If that’s what normal women do -then No. If a woman exceeds the normal spending on makeup -then Yes.
“The issue was brought up striclty from the halachic view. Maybe Chassidim should not spend a fortune on fur shtreimlech.”
It’s for a Mitzva.
“Maybe no one should pay a fortune to someone to find a shidduch for them.”
Again, it’s for a Mitzva.
“Maybe none of us should ever pay to eat out in a restaurant (surely you can cook at home!). And definitely no one should ever pay to go on a vacation of any type.”
Acc. to the Torah you’re allowed to have a break – so you can do these things. If you’re the type that does these things in excess -then No you shouldn’t be doing them.
