I do wonder why oomis, being the daughter of a Jew who claims to be a Kohen, would have a “vested interest in this”. Being that she has no marriage restrictions as a bas kohen, why would she look at it any less objectively than any other Jew”
Thegra, that is such an abrasive and confrontational first sentence. Did you really mean to sound that way?
I am talking strictly from the point of view that as a bas Kohein, I am nogaya b’inyan regarding halachos pertaining to my (dead) father and my brothers and their male children. BTW b’nos kohanim DO have certain halachos amd chiyuvim pertaining to themselves, especially as relate to tzniusdig behavior, and as I pointed out previously a B”K who has been married cannot have her brothers present at her levaya, though a Kohein may go to his parents’ and brothers'(who are kohanim)levayos, if they predecease him.
“But for someone to claim that they are inherently superior to their neighbors and more close to G-d when it is not true is perfectly fine?”
Excuse me – but did I do that at ANY time????????
