I think that she is executing to her best knowledge what the rabbis tell her to do. I suppose the rabbis are not very familiar with those kinds of situations and give bad advices. If then the Gioret is a bit radical or over-conscious in implementing them, what we heard in this story could well be the result.<br /><br />Do not touch a man, halachically you are not related to him, therefore you are not to touch him: yes.<br /><br />Do not do anything in my kitchen unless I am present: by all means<br /><br />Since I will have to lock the kitchen when you are present it would be more practical if you agreed to move out: of course...gioretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-81813111793931656612010-01-11T21:24:34.547+02:002010-01-11T21:24:34.547+02:00Congratulations Yoni.

BTs and Geirim have to find equilibrium in their new world. That takes time. This woman is incorrect, but she acted out of a desire to keep with halacha. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and she misapplied some things she heard. So someone has to straighten her out on this as will be required many more times in her life as she adjusts to being a Jew. There's a lot of information flying around and it's hard to separate fact from shtuyot sometimes, even for FFBs. So cut her some slack, she's new at this.Wanna Saabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564440024185263043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-36648997880177176482010-01-11T19:40:08.992+02:002010-01-11T19:40:08.992+02:00sorry guys...if he would covert it would only be f...sorry guys...if he would covert it would only be for marriage and Topper is the last guy who permitted thatLeiby Babynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-40763718853140575362010-01-11T19:01:51.232+02:002010-01-11T19:01:51.232+02:00yoni wins comment of the day, thats for sure. no p...yoni wins comment of the day, thats for sure. no prize though other than bragging rightsRafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-78792111019413091792010-01-11T18:56:17.259+02:002010-01-11T18:56:17.259+02:00yoni - awesome!
