Avi… holding a small child is holding a holy neshama, and by holding him you show him you love him and care for him. This is fine. Holding a phone though shows you care for the phone, and when your talking to Hashem you shouldnt be doing such things
i am not commenting about what to wear when infront of a king or monarch.. but one thing for sure, NO ONE WOULD DARE USE THIER PHONE IF THEY HAD A PRIVATE MEETING WITH TRUMP OR THE QUEEN. so why in shul during davening is it more acceptable… you can come to shul in jeans and a hoody just put that phone away and on SILENT…
lucy, you are not asking why guys smoke. you just want to know why girls don’t give stuff out too..
This is feminism . Let guys be guys and girls be girls!
