Middlepath- good to see you too!
Many of these posts are so relevant and do touch a raw nerve. Really good thread.
Thanks YehudahTzvi for your comments on women and also different types of Jews. We are far from all being milky white, remember Avraham Avinu came from the depths of what is today modern Iraq. Some feel the Yemenite community represents a very special link to our authentic heritage. Wherever we come from a bit of kavod goes a long way! Easy to say not so easy to achieve.
