| Sep 7, 2015 at 0:50 | comment | added | Shalom | I believe the translation is simply "shake hands", not "slap." (The root appears as in "to pitch a tent." We talk about kinyan T'kiat kaf, a deal executed by handshake.) Sefer Hassidim reflects the viewpoint of what is pious, not necessarily what is required by the letter of the law. (And let's not get started on whether a cross-gender handshake had the exact same context in Germany a thousand years ago as it does in today's corporate America.) | |
