Reply To: A Lack Of Sensitivity

I appreciate your open mindedness and sensitivity, Popa.

It’s just that sometimes, I feel like I totally don’t fit the bill to be posting in here. We don’t own a TV. I don’t watch any movies. I don’t text on Shabbos. I don’t listen to goyish music. All of my male relatives don’t stare at shiksas (and if any of them c”v do, I don’t know any of it). I don’t go on Facebook, twitter etc.

I can’t tell you exactly what’s wrong with your thread. I suppose it’s just a sensitivity. I think that you should show affection to your spouse privately, betznius. Isn’t that what Yiddishkeit is all about? I know my parents love each other. How? Because they RESPECT each other. They show us, the kids that they value their spouse’s opinion/shitta etc. They are mechabed one another. Isn’t THIS beautiful? Isn’t this the right way to show your love publicly? Also, I fail to see why we should listen to goyish music to bring us closer to Hashem.

I hope I didn’t come across too strong. If I did, I ask for mechila. It simply pains me to see that I might have to leave.
