“For example what about a woman who is divorced …….”
Its nice to know you care. Perhaps reach out to the community leaders to find out how they deal with this situation.
“Kol Bnei Yisroel Arevin Zeh L-Zeh”
Then instead of mocking and ridiculing a practice people have accepted upon themselves that they believe will improve their level of yiddishkeit, appluad them and encourage them!
“some of whom are from very Yeshivish communities,”
We are discussing a particular community of a particular chassidus. We are not discussing “very frum yeshivish communities” that do differently than this chassidic group. Each has its own manhigim that they follow. As do you. Follow yours. dont mock theirs.
“To all woman of the CR, how would you feel if all your life you’ve been driving, and suddenly you were told by your rav that you can’t?”
Like most things in life, it will take getting used to. Even the yidden in the midbar complained Zacharnu es hadaga asher nochalnu bimitrayim, despite the mann.
“and holding by a very minor Daas Yachid is that it is wrong.”
What is the difference between a major and minor daas yochid?
“The “Neshei Belz” said that it is to avoid possible situations of Kaas and Nivul Peh.”
This is the first I am hearing of this, but if true, do you believe that driving in stressful situations does not cause anger or worse, people to say things they later regret? Nivul peh does not only mean words such as #^&^%$% and (!**#&#.
“Since it’s a relatively mainstream opinion, that’s fine.”
The opinion is accepted by the mainstream, but I would venture to guess that more poskim disagreed with the psak. This is entirely besides the point though.
