Can a single-parent father be exempt from time-bound mitzvot? @DoubleAA, sorry; Shulchan Aruch 239:6 sets out the principles, see Pischei Teshuva #2 on that where he quotes Eishel Avraham and Rashba that "the same would apply [i.e. the oath is in effect] if he swore not to go to synagogue." |

May a man wear a wedding band? Clarify - if you're riding the subway and accidentally bump into a woman, apologize profusely and make sure she's not hurt! I just meant don't worry about the halacha of violating "affectionate touching." |

May a man wear a wedding band? @DoubleAA it's not random. Getzel Ellinson (it took me a while to figure out that Getzel=Elyakim) has some seforim about women in Judaism, which made it interesting that he'd correspond with R' Moshe about these topics. The kicker (not so much "weird way of remembering" as "way of remembering the weird") is the next paragraph, Ellinson thinks R' Moshe's position of "don't shake hands with women, but if you ride the subway and accidentally bump into a woman don't worry about it" is logically inconsistent. Someone who can't appreciate basic nuance should be writing about women in Judaism? |
