A KOSHER SHIKSA 2

[foxincatl]

Shalom Rabbi! Is it only women who are considered "shiksa"? If so, what is the male counterpart?? Thank you Rabbi!

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@foxincatl we call them a shaigitz-it's also a disparaging term for any irreligious Jew.

[rabbichaimmoshe]

toExitonlyEntry-that is the common name-you know the source so i need not mention it

but that is the usage even by assimilated men.

she cries over the religion of her parents-like a detox program of 30 days

[ExitOnlyEntry]

@rabbichaimmoshe actually I don't know the source: so is it found in the Torah or not? yes or no would suffice

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@ExitOnlyEntry yes in its' original it is pejorative and intended to shame the intermarryer

[ExitOnlyEntry]

@rabbichaimmoshe can you point out where in the Torah it is found?

it is to shame the male right? so why not call him something derogatory instead of the woman? she - after all - is not doing anything wrong, so why call her impure and not him

If criticism is the objective I believe it is absolutely displaced

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@rabbichaimmoshe just leave it the discussion doesn't change anything

I liked what you said at the end about solutions. The problem with working for half the pay is that you don't get your gov't hand out/unemployment check anymore which may be more than working for half your normal wage and this wont pay for your grocer, house or car bill. There has to be lower taxes and fewer regulations that send jobs overseas. There's too much punishment of the middle class.

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@BornInTzyon the main point is that people aren't as helpless as they think and should see what they can do by themselves.

I disagree w/ #2. because there are homosexuals who have just as much "desire" to act on their desires as a man wanting a woman, yet it's strictly prohibited, regardless of the person's emotions or the prospect of "losing them". #3 I agree with. It's permitted to marry a convert whether forced (in war) or willing.

Interesting note: Today, shaving of the woman's head is actually a ritual that adult Karaite converts (who are legally recognized by the state of Israel) are required to undergo

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@BornInTzyon homosexuality is a reality of wars,jails and all-male academies.it is destructive always.heterosexual relations only can produce a child hence the need to find a way to make it work

[BornInTzyon]

@rabbichaimmoshe That being said (concerning all-male academies) why are Yeshivot all-male? Why does the communal mikveh exist? Logic alone tells me that this serves to encourage evil inclinations that otherwise wouldn't have arisen.

[rabbichaimmoshe]

@BornInTzyon that is why in Chabad yeshivos there is personal self policing of thoughts etc...in other places the

zera levatolo and unmentionables happen more often. however,there is no alternative to an all-male yeshiva as zenus is far more dangerous and the only true place of kedusha is where the sight etc.. are protected.that said the

tendencies are more possible in those venues,however,they are discouraged. in jails and war there is no mashgiach to prevent it.

two questions:

a) why do you keep referring to gentile women with derogatory term shiksa? Do you find this term in the Torah?

2) 4:08-4:37 why would a gentile women who is about to marry a Jewish guy be mourning her parents??
