Reply To: Mechitzah question

WIY: and there we go again, demeaning other shitos held by respectable poskim just because we disagree.

Sam: wow. You either have a bar ilsn cd or mamesh encyclopedic knowledge of sifrei Halacha, shas, and mekorot. Every time there is a shaila you know whee to point people. May you continue being marbitz Torah here, with on,y hatzlachah in your own learning. Also, if there are major poskim that hold 10 tefachim, can I hold by them, at least b’dieved?

Torah: you had the more rational explanation to begin with, so kudos on thinking creatively off the top of your head!

ill just add that eal kavanah doesn’t come from an external divider, it comes from within one’s heart. In order to let that experience happen for both men AND women, we have mechitzahs. It’s a means to an end- not an end in of itself. The goal is kavanah and not pure separation.
