But most of us weren’t raised this way, and as we try to navigate our way in a world that does require setting up more boundaries than we were raised with (no TV in my house, e.g.) we’re going to come up with defining situations, like this.
Tzippi, I understand that you are trying to draw boundaries. However, don’t ask me to respect your non-halachic boundaries when in my personal opinion they arent particularly intelligent. If there was a halachic basis, I would respect you for following your path, but there is NOTHING halachic about wearing a suit/hat to the Bronx Zoo.
I was at the zoo today. I would be a lot more worried about what the other women were wearing than I would be about a hat and jacket if I were a Jewish man…
