Hello all!
I am a bit outraged at the idea that I am not allowed to drive. My husband and I live in oot. If I can’t drive, how am I supposed to drive my husband to work? (He has severe epilepsy and cannot get a license, yes, medication helps, but they only reduce the seizurs…hoping that ins. covers the surgery, but i digress.) How am I supposed to get the many bags of groceries home? It is very difficult to schlep the old lady cart on Metro. How do I go out to NoVa to see my sick Gramps? My car is mostly for errands… i am not about to give it up because someone says it isnt decent. What’s not decent about driving a disabled man to work and night kollel?
Where do you live that you are not allowed to drive? And who, specifically, is not allowing you to drive (and under what sanctions)?
The Wolf
Where is “oot”? Who prohibited you from driving?
Why are you not allowed to drive?
if you need to drive then drive… i dont see why you shouldnt!
popa told her she is not allowed to drive
And, more importantly, who told you that you could not drive *in your circumstances*, for what reasons, and, again, under what sanctions?
The Wolf
does she sneeze too much?
so popa misleads me once again
according to my ipaddress trace she actually lives in india
(If this is a real thread)
Obviously take what everyone says on these boards w a grain or… container of salt.
we have a cousin in Beitar Ilit who drives, altho’ in that community her children would be kicked out of yeshiva if it was known. She puts on huge sunglasses, but I still don’t know how she gets away with it. we drove to Mama Ruchel’s kever together so I know this is a fact.
(I also wondered how ‘authentic’ this thread is)
dont take life advice from this website if u feel like u need to drive forget what everyone here said
anyways i dont think there is anything wrong with women driving especially oot
so kal vchomer in ur circumstances there is nothing wrong
rollerskates,
Why not pose your question to your rav in the DC area?
BTW – Why on earth would you need to use the Metro to get to a grocery store?
If I called out every bogus thread…
They have cars in India?
In India you can’t ride a cow -they are holy. I don’t know about a horse.
Sacrilege, we need more of your detective work…
oh and MOd 80- maybe she signs in remotely, when I go to israel for vacation, i use my relatives computer there, and sign in to my computer in ny, so if you were tracing my IP then, you would get my american one! Ip means nothing these days
tbt
Should I stay in Yeshiva or go to work… Completely bogus.
Sacrilege. Didnt bother reading that one past the first post.
How about this one?

Not to call anyone out, but maybe a Joseph should be put under this name???
rollerskates:
Maybe you are referring to E”Y where in some chareidi communities it is considered unacceptable for woman to drive. I don’t think people in America feel that way.
Derech: In Williamsburg and other places in America they have the same minhug as in E”Y.
tbt
I didnt bother reading that one past the *original* heading.
The proving Judaism thread I dont have a problem w because some people actually have questions on Judaism. If the OP stated that (s)he is considering going off because (s)he doesnt have concrete proof about Mussar Seforim than I may question it, but I think the OP is just trying to get a conversation going.
I just opened this thread for the first time.
Good one rollerskate, whoever you are.
Rollerskates; Seriously. You should ask the Rav/Dayan of your community. Under the circumstances that you describe, (If true.) you should get an official “Heter”. (Dispensation.) Some people (in the Monsey area, for example.) where public transportation is not as accessible as in Brooklyn, got an official Heter from the Dayyanim.
