What are these cool sounding old cameras?

Hahah, in really religious groups (though this is uncommon in Judaism) they wear long skirts, long sleeves and cover their hair (or wear a wig). Different from the men, but still modest. You will find that quite a few “orthodox” groups in different religions talk of such modesty.

Here, though, as in prayer, they separated the men from the women. They aren’t separated at all times, and they certainly don’t have the same dress code.

Just one more thing, the get up that the guys in the picture are wearing is an option towards formality by chassidic jews. The requirement is “modesty” – so long sleeves – they are wearing formal clothes because, if they want to utter a prayer as they do something in the day (e.g. if they see something beautiful, or do something for the first time) their rabbis told them that to pray, they should wear formal clothes. It is not a requirement, it is an option.

And cult? cute Mr. Saljen.

I was talking with regards to their censorship, not their gender separation. Sorry for the confusion.

thats fair

If that happened, that would be the case. I wouldn’t support that at all.

But if all they are doing is putting up a “netnanny” on themselves, and offering it to others, I see no harm done

Haha, I see where you are coming from. The “we don’t have to see you” seems to be the whole point of the separation.

The only thing I disagree with is the “you aren’t good enough” – that cannot be deduced from the article, or from practice

great photo!

I am not sure how “reaching out” is forcing anything; I read it as “sharing our ideas”. Judaism is not a proselytising religion, so I know where you are coming from, but I am not sure it applies here.

*talk pages

Love this idea, and would love to see:
1) a wider use, for more contentious areas
2) some way of classifying edits along sides of the controversy (so as to better compare)
3) integration with the “discussion” pages
