FIA -“So, frankly, this whole hubabaloo is much ado about nothing, regarding an unneeded service being promoted for feministic reasons that will rarely be called.”
This part shows your bias -you prob are a Hatzolah member. Saying that they are only doing it for feministic reasons is like saying all Hatzolah members are only doing it for Kovod. I don’t try to read minds whether it’s Hatzolah guys or EN ladies – noone knows why people do things -some mean well and some don’t.
And how do you call it “uneeded” – these women who started this feel it’s needed?
My only objection is that this project should Not be supported by the Klal -the women who started it and the women that will use it – should support it. As it is there are many needy Jews and there is not enough Tzedaka money to go around.
