Re: Kol Isha - Enough Already!!!! and a new thread

Here, here!

Every time this discussion is opened again. It's like re-opening a wound.

Initially all I was trying to say was enough already. And ahemmm again, I get swept into this argument, because I have such strong opinions about it.

I would say, however, whoever is flaming women off-list about this is a coward. It's just a crappy way to treat people.

As my grandmother would say: genug avey...Enough already.

And let's move on to something else. I think we all just have to agree to disagree on KI

Shalom,

Trudi
