    So this friend of mine calls me up on erev yontiff, and says that a friend of hers is in [city] for yontiff, and do I know of any places she can go for a meal there. Like a chabad or something.

    So I say, well where in the city is she? And she says, it doesn’t matter because this friend will take a car on yontiff.

    So I said: Oh, then I’m not telling you where the meals are.

    (Yes yes, I know I missed a cheshbon, because I should have figured out if I knew anywhere within a few blocks of where she was staying.)

    Why do you have friends of the female persuasion?

    You are a Rabbi with female friends?

    The subtitle covers that question in more ways than one, I think.

    You are a female? I always thought you were a male.

    Lying on YWN

    The gist of this story is true though.

    I think its important to know if one is speaking to a male or a female and besides, there are some people who may be makpid to not even talk online in such a forum to women so if you (or any other member) are a woman pretending to be a man or vice versa you are causing people a michshol. Additionally, I don’t believe it is Halachically ok to lie to people for fun or whatever you want to call it.

    I disagree. I think it is better for people not to know, because this way it is impossible for there to be anything inappropriate about out discussions.

    My semicha certificate is bigger than your semicha certificate.

    I think it should be permitted to drive (on Yom Tov), provided you ignite the engine with an existing flame. Should have indicated it to her.
