Actually, maybe Reb Pinky & Virginia should do a lecture/workshop series together. If Virginia is an example of the type and quality of women who flock to Reb Pinky, I am in awe of the Ezras Nashim!<BR/><BR/>Maybe the weekly Dvar Torah should have a centerfold?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38561663.post-8950175360616737682007-05-20T22:25:00.000-04:002007-05-20T22:25:00.000-04:00As Reb Pinky has asked us for our opinions, here a...As Reb Pinky has asked us for our opinions, here are a few of mine:<BR/><BR/>1. To avoid that thorny Deoraisa of Eshes Ish, it is better if her husband arranges "coverage" when he is away or when she needs/wants "variety." (Or if he prefers to watch…)<BR/><BR/>According to Rav Moshe, no Deoraisa violation occurs without actual BiYa. So the Veib can also arrange for her own... Bishe'at Hadchak (under tight circumstances),so to speak.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if her husband agrees, do the issue of Eshes Ish and Sotah even arise? The principle of Ishto KeGufo (A man’s wife is like an extension of his own body) implies that she can do "whatever", so long as he consents... Just as he can do “whatever”, as long as she doesn’t find out…<BR/><BR/>2. The fluid question is a good one. From my experience, if the women have any interest in experimenting at all, they enjoy being on the receiving rather than giving end of practical Oral Law.<BR/><BR/>13 & 14. These two arguments completely deflate the sails any medical arguments.<BR/><BR/>I wish Virginia could come to us for a Friday night dinner or Sabbat lunch. My wife should spend some time with her, and maybe could learn a bissel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38561663.post-4504473397647288122007-05-18T00:06:00.000-04:002007-05-18T00:06:00.000-04:00Rabboisai,Our Rebbe and Moira DeAsra has asked for...Rabboisai,<BR/><BR/>Our Rebbe and Moira DeAsra has asked for our input before he renders a psak on Rebbetzin Virginia’s timely shailas. My chavrusa and I have been investigating this topic during evening seder for several months. We were unaware of the health ramifications. As I write this, my chavrusa is desperately trying to sell his bashert on this angle. <BR/><BR/>We know that our Toirah is Toiras Chaim (The Torah of Life), although, I have always wondered about that lucky guy Chaim who got the Toirah dedicated just for him. The laws are always interpreted in a manner that endorses life and the wonders of our world. This was the approach advocated by Rabbi Akiva. His amazing wife Rachel, actually sold her hair in the marketplace to support her husband’s learning. That was the true beginning of Brazilians in Jewish heritage. Can you imaging the revenue stream that such a hottie brought in by letting the highest bidder tend to her trimming and bikini waxings? This might be the solution to jump starting the building funds of our local Jewish day schools, schuls, mikvahs, yeshivas… Unfortunately, many of the women who would volunteer for this duty would likely resemble the stars of the former East German Olympic wrestling team!<BR/><BR/>So how should the 14 questions of Rebbetzin Virginia be answered? (14 in Gematria is YAD, which means hand. That could answer some of her questions.) There is a sefer on this topic written by the well known rebbe: the Milas Moshe. <BR/><BR/>Our Rebbe has revealed to us the existence of the ilui Virginia. We can only hope that she is assisting our Rebbe in his quest to achieve new heights in kedusha. I was wondering if she had any space time and maybe could teach some adult education classes in the local Talmud Torah? If our spouses can acquire 5% of her refreshing attitude, we might start feeling that moshiach has indeed arrived.Shaa Tneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506856540096513475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38561663.post-81079220958528137382007-05-17T21:23:00.000-04:002007-05-17T21:23:00.000-04:00The question that comes to mind is: Is this fluid...The question that comes to mind is: Is this fluid fleishig, or is it parve?

It may be that some mens' fluid is more efficacious than others.
