Did you know that the Jews of Cochin, who followed only the Mishneh Torah, had women sing in the synagogue as an official part of the liturgy? That women in Iran and Iraq wore pants and that the Ben Ish Hai even forbids men to wear pants and says pants are women's garb? I could go on and on in this vein. :PMikewind Dale (Michael Makovi)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08590233386034506578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012577834296987267.post-36422156965687740652011-03-08T13:20:06.725-08:002011-03-08T13:20:06.725-08:00Oh yes, and Rabbis Yosef Messas and Moshe Malka of...Oh yes, and Rabbis Yosef Messas and Moshe Malka of Morocco, and the Ben Ish Hai, and Rabbi Isaac S. Hurewitz (an early American Orthodox rabbi, who learned in the mussar yeshiva of Novorodock and bitterly opposed Louis Ginzberg), all say that married women nowadays need not cover their hair. And you know how the Conservative Jews eat swordfish? So do Moroccan Jews. And Ladino Jews would allow women to sing romances (ballads) in the presence of men; Rabbi Marc Angel says his rabbi, Hakham Shlomo Gaon (from the traditional Sephardi community of Sarajevo), once not only attended a woman's public singing, but afterwards, stood up and loudly applauded and praised her quality before the entire crowd. I could go on and on and on... :P<br><br>No offense is meant, and I hope none is taken. I'm just defending myself and my fellow Conservadox Jews. :)Mikewind Dale (Michael Makovi)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08590233386034506578noreply@blogger.com
