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.)

You are a Rabbi with female friends?
October 3, 2012 2:27 am at 2:27 am #898369OneOfManyParticipantThe subtitle covers that question in more ways than one, I think.
October 3, 2012 2:27 am at 2:27 am #898370popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m a Rabbah.
October 3, 2012 2:40 am at 2:40 am #898371WIYMemberYou are a female? I always thought you were a male.
October 3, 2012 2:42 am at 2:42 am #898372popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe gist of this story is true though.
October 3, 2012 2:52 am at 2:52 am #898373WIYMemberI 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.
Additionally, I don’t believe it is Halachically ok to lie to people for fun or whatever you want to call it.
My semicha certificate is bigger than your semicha certificate.
