gemilos chasodim, mipnai sayvoh tokim is deoirayse, to subconciously unintentionally touch opposit is no issur whatsoever..to SJSinNYC..IT IS NOT 100% FINE EVEN 50% FINE TO SHAKE HANDS WITH OOPOSITE GENDER NO MATTER WHO THIS RABBI IS..IF YOU RESPECTFULLY EXPLAIN WHY ONE SHOULD NOT SHAKE WITH OPPOSITE THEY WILL RESPECT YOU FOR IT. MIR DID IT THRUOUT THE YEARS. IT WOULD BE CHILLIL HASHEM IF ONE SEES A MUSLIM(WHO WAS NOT AFFECTED WITH THE WESTERN VERSION OF ‘MORALITY’) ADHERE TO NOT SHAKING WITH OPPOSITE GENDER BUT A SHOMER TORAH UMITZVOS HAS NO BACKBONE TO UPHOLD HALACHA. MIR HEAR THE SOME PLACES IN SOUTH (RELIGIOUS BAPTIST?) IT IS KNOWN NOT TO SHAKE WITH OPPOSITE IN BUSUNESS ALSO WHEN GOING OUT TO BUSINESS LUNCH WILL NOT GO WITHOUT HUABAND OR…AND YOU DONT HAVE BACKBONE TO STAND UP WITH TORAH PRINCIPLES?
