separate services

[Yakov (Koby) <kchodosh...>]

To use an unfortuate expression, I think services should be separate but equal. 
Like gym class. Everyone goes to phys ed. Everyone plays tennis, everyone plays 
soccer, everyone plays badminton, but just separately. When gym class is 
combined, for various reasons the overall level of the activity is somewhat 
lowered. I know I have enjoyed going to services and not having to sit with my 
mother or sister. On the men's side at least, there's a very heymish 
atmosphere, very friendly, that you just don't get in mixed services. What I 
DON'T agree with in ortholand is the women just standing there. I think they 
could be praying somewhere else or something.

(btw: analogy notwithstanding certain cases... like in my school, the guys do 
wrestling, and the girls do step aerobics :P )

YAKOV.
