31. Answer to Nr. 4
Abigail ,   Holland   (12.30.11)
And you hide behind an organization? Are you allowed to open you mouth as an individual or do you think God or HaShem gave you a mouth, hair, and your own individual choices and talents to let them rot away by decisions of men including those of Edah Charedit? Nu? Black veils...wigs, shmatted on the head, barets...it is all the same, sweetheart. Think. If you dare.
32. "Standard of Modesty"
Howard Edelman ,   USA   (12.31.11)
Hillary Clinton does not throw rocks at and spit on 8 year old girls. Jewish values and standards of decency do not include this kind of shameful and pitiful behavior.
33. Men with modesty issues
Howard ,   USA   (12.31.11)
Would it not be easier, more considerate, and more fair for the men with the modesty issues to cover themselves up - their eyes - when needed then to have everyone else cover up for them. Surely they would receive plenty of guidance if they needed it while walking.
34. Slowly but surely, Israel is moving toward
Runner1983 ,   USA   (10.14.12)
a theocratic society where haredi rabbis, accountable to no one and who are only interested in their own power over their followers, will set the standards of society. This will occur because of the relatively high population growth rate of the Haredim, compared with the rest of society. They do not support education in secular subjects or permit much contact with the outside world because it is a threat to their power. They marginalize women, and no amount of rationalizing can make this acceptable. If the haredi value system was so strong, followers would not need to be so shielded. Actually, if the value system was strong, the would be no need to keep such tight control over and micro-manage the lives of followers, as in done in various cults. This is a real issue, because some day in the future, Israel will not be able to defend itself, militarily or economically. They say that demographics is destiny, and I am greatly concerned about the destiny of Israel.
