musser- dont you think thats dumb? if the price on a cookie is five dollars and i tell the guy to pay me for it and he agrees, thats perfectly valid. if my wife wants to be in this situation because of what she believes in, that would be ok. i find it hysterical that rd and rob apologize for the women of the wall and admit that their passion for tefillin is compelling, while my wifes passion to have me learn isnt as importnant.
dveykus said it well.
you wont criticize a women with a career whose husband works for putting in backbreaking hours and working solely to create a future for herself, but youll go to town on a woman who wants to build something eternal. brilliant.
