Spencer ,   Israel   (01.05.12)
32. #16 give
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.05.12)
If you can't see the difference, you should go back to school, starting with gan.
33. at 32 since you are so on the ball please do explain
#16 ,   Israel   (01.05.12)
it to me so I will learn...instead of insulting me which makes both of us stupid!
34. @24 Puah is 95% publically supported by the State....
(01.05.12)
the additional 5% comes from privatedonations.
35. Can they come if they promise not to sing?
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.12)
36. Today I thank HKB"H that Reform Judaism exists.
Aviel   (01.05.12)
אמן.
37. Male gynos invented forceps,killed thousands in baby births
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.05.12)
38. Ya know?
Devorah   (01.05.12)
I wish our vaginas could sing. Could you imagine sitting in the audience, and all of a sudden women's singing comes out of nowhere, and our mouths would be closed.
39. 38.For me,Im happy with them as they are without the singing
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.12)
40. YNET cannot make up stories like this
Steve ,   Raaanana   (01.05.12)
What is wrong with these people. This story could be on a comedy show--only men can speak, separate seating and we are talking about women's health issues. If the tipping point has not yet been reached, it soon will be. Those warm feelings of many years ago towards the ultra-orthodox are probably now lost forever.
41. # 33 israel
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.05.12)
My apologies for any insult. Gynecology has to do with women's health; their bodies. Who knows more about that than women? A lecture at a men's yeshivah is a lecture at a men's yeshivah; theology in the classroom. Not women's health issues nor mens' health issues which are a more immediate and scientific issue.
42. how do we know its true
joe sombrero ,   usa   (01.05.12)
The leftist ngos and the social protest movement organized by Soros and the US have made it known they were targeting religpus to drive a wedge and overthrow BIBI. Half the talk backers here work for leftist NGOs
43. Welcome !
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires_Argentina   (01.05.12)
Welcome to the New Taliban Country ! - AKA the State of Israel - Shame to you all the IGNORANTS so called "rabbis" that preclude the Rights of the Jewish Women ! Our Holy Torah teach us that we must respect and treat our women LIKE QUEENS !
44. Rabbis
R. Fink ,   US   (01.05.12)
Name these poskim. They should not be allowed to decide legal issues for the community in secret.
45. I'M WITH SANDY
(01.05.12)
46. PUAH excludes single women
Shifra ,   Israel   (01.06.12)
PUAH also excludes( i.e discriminates) very frum single women from serving as mashgichot for IVF/embryo or egg freezing in their hashgacha program at fertility clinics, simply on the grounds that they are not married. OUTRAGEOUS!
47. 38
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (01.06.12)
Imagine the searching for the singing. Could be fun for some-maybe shock.
48. let me guess. and births are delivered under a tent so
ralph   (01.06.12)
so feminine modesty is preserved. and male or is it rabbinic ignorance is perpetuated.
49. #47 John Darren - LOL!
Devorah   (01.06.12)
Ooh la la!!!
50. @solomon #41
#33 and 16 ,   Israel   (01.06.12)
1. thank you for the apology accepted. 2. Yes I understand your point and agree with it. 3. However, my point (and please do forgive my previous lack of clarity) was to say that Nachama Lebowitz (a woman) was accepted as an authority and invited to lecture at men's yeshivahs. My meaning was that as a woman she was invited to enter into the yeshivahs and lecture that is the men saw her and heard her voice. In the case of the Puah conference "the rabbis" (who are these rabbis anyway) stated that they could not (would not) listen to any female physicians or gynecologists who were experts. Have I explained it better so that you can see where my comment came from and what I was trying to analog? Thank you for reading these comments and Shabbat Shalom
51. @42 it is true because the director of Puah...
watcher ,   Israel   (01.06.12)
was on the radio explaining why the organization decided to do this.
52. LIKE THE POPE GIVING 'MORALITY' LESSONS...
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.06.12)
LOL, HA HA HA. HO HO HO.
53. BOYCOTT THESE MALES LADIES....DON'T ATTEND
Bad Assed Jew   (01.06.12)
THAT WAY, ONLY THE MEN CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WOMEN FEMALE OBGYN SPECIALISTS. ACT LIKE ROSA PARKS AND START A MOVEMENT ( AND, I DON'T MEAN A BOWEL MOVEMENT ! )
54. When male doctors know what it's like
(01.06.12)
to menstruate and give birth then they can claim to be experts.
55. #16, #33 israel
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.06.12)
Another apology from me. I see we agree in this. I totally misunderstood as I did not know about Nachama Lebowitz. Thank you for your patience in explaining. Shabbat Shalom.
56. I thought haredi men were afraid of vaginas LOL!
(01.06.12)
57. Which Rabbis
Ellen ,   Arad   (01.06.12)
Advertising their names will only make them more popular. They are proud of their hatred of their baby making machines.
58. send mesage to American College of Gyn and OB
Ellen ,   Arad   (01.06.12)
Sending a message to a backwards organization will do no good. Send a message to influential professional organizatons all over the world preferrably with the names of the doctors who will participate. Out the gyns who cooperate with discrimation against women
59. Women barred from conference
Joy Wolfe ,   Cheadle, Cheshire UK   (01.10.12)
A list should be published of those gynaecologists who speak at this conference and women should refuse to use their professional services. this is simply outrageous, to say ntohing of stupid
