Re: kol isha in action

[Dan Jacobs <dan...>]

Hi,

It's not a custom it's Jewish law (a law that is offensive and
un-necessary), so you need to give it a little more respect than that.
The best way to handle a situation like this is to educate yourself and others.

The fact is that there are strong halachik (Jewish Legal) arguments
against Kol Isha, i.e. that listening to a woman's voice is not a problem,
understanding what these are and being able to present them when necessary
would be a more constructive approach then being dismissive.

Cheers,

Dan
