noitall, I beg to differ with you. I work in a company of 14,000 people. I personally have dealt with about 1/3. Its been hard enough explaing and re-explaining kosher, shabbos and yom tovim. Why would I add the hardship of something that my rabbi said is ok?
You may not agree with the psak, but thats probably because you are used to 1,000 gedarim placed around everything. I am not fragile, and shaking a man’s hand will not make me stray.
My sister is a nurse and has to touch men daily – do you have a problem with that? Its not always for life saving measures. Sometimes, its just to take their blood pressure or help them sit on the table. Would you like all Jewish women to stop being nurses so they dont have to touch men?
