Shas' spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, has yet to address the exclusion of women issue. But his son, Holon's Chief Rabbi Avraham Yosef on Wednesday slammed the "kosher" bus lines phenomenon.
"There is no exclusion when it comes to a strange woman," he said in regards of gender segregation supporters. "Apart from touching, apart from looking, apart from smelling any good smell she may have put on herself – we should not be interested in anything else." [...]
Why is it that when the "Gadol" say someting the group wants to hear it becomes "Daas Torah" and "Yehareg v'al Yaavor" but when it isn't it's either ignored or a Daas Yachid that "we don't hold by"?
ReplyDeleteIs this Rav Ovadia's son that is estranged from his father?
ReplyDelete@root.
ReplyDeleteNo he is not that one. This one is the Rabbi of Holon.
BTW Igros Moshe pretty much says the same.
They should have a segregated bus for adults and children.
