I like playing basketball. I asked my friends (girls) if we can play together they said they do not play basketball. My friends (guys) said they do. They asked to play with me. How do I play with them in a tznius way?
You don’t.
You stay on one side of the court near one basket, while they are on the other side of the court near the other basket, with a good mechitzah at half court separating.
“bmyer, but I want to play. So what should I do?”
Theres a quote that goes like this. “The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same”…..there are lots of things that I want to do. But I don’t because it’s wrong. There is no tznius way for guys and girls to play basketball together. I believe you know that, otherwise the question wouldn’t have been asked. Also, speaking from experience, it’s not that hard to put together a girls team if you’re really interested in doing that.
You only need one other girl to play h-o-r-s-e. or one on one
Maybe you could play against them online.
Well actually in my neighborhood the ladies auxilliary has a basketball team and we keep it nice and modest. Maybe you can start one in your community too. Just remember to keep your cool and stay modest and you will not go wrong.
