You seem to condone such a ridicule.
I do not. Shalom Al Yisroel. 🙂
“Hisrachek” is as much as a source for Burkas as not eating Chummos. Maybe not eating Chummos is Richuk from Arayos? Eating techina certainly brings on Hirhurim and should be disallowed. Maybe we will allow Matbucha 😉
I don’t care what you or anyone else does in practice, Chumrah or Kula. I am offended that all of this money and time is spent to teach nothing. Even worse, they think they know “Halacha”, and try to pass it off onto others as a requirement. The girls are better off learning Satmar-style (we do it because Bubby did it), as I mentioned before. Bubby did not measure 4 inches (she probably didn’t own a ruler, and certainly not one that measured inches), Bubby did not wear a Burka, and Bubby would have been horrified to see her great-great granddusghters wearing all black. She would possibly think that it is an Ayin Hara for sitting shiva.
What Bubby did know is how to be a Tzanuah, run a Kosher and erlich home, and how to Kasher chickens (a lost art). Unfortunately, some parts of our society feel those values outdated, and stress bringing home the Flanken for your husband sitting in Kollel, while he learns fewer hours with less hasmadah than the businessman who works for the federal reserve.
In many ways, Satmar really does it right.
