The abuse and misreprresentation of women is endemic though I believe and hope it is changing tho still far too slowly.<br />I only hope you will find a sensitive partner who help you overcome your anxieties.<br />Shabbat Shalom<br />JeremyRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-3727183391352931072011-05-20T11:33:59.290-04:002011-05-20T11:33:59.290-04:00To BR

He was responding both to complaints that his Hassidim were taking non-Jewish tunes and adapting them to religious themes and to the suggestion that music somehow corrupts. It is the way some humans USE music that corrupts. No one would say Speech, corrupts but people can use speech and words in a corrosive way.<br />Listen to music my friend and let it elevate you!<br />Shabbat Shalom<br />JeremyRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-32053765325444430442011-05-20T10:19:17.623-04:002011-05-20T10:19:17.623-04:00Well I must say, I did get a bit bent out of shape...Well I must say, I did get a bit bent out of shape with how the media was putting this story out there. I do not consider the producers of Der Zeitung to be 'normative' Orthodox Jews; just like I do not consider The Nation of Islam to be normative Black Americans. That was the first issue that I had. The second issue that I had was with all of the random feminists that were so outraged. You get a glimpse into an extremist group, and you get so upset? Yet where is your (the feminists) outrage at such blatant anti-feminist entertainment like "The Good Housewives of New York" or "Sorority Life".<br /><br />So while I do not agree with the photoshopping at all, I do bristle at how easy it is to point the finger at marginalized minority groups and not be able to clearly see the problems in the culture and society that you find yourself living in and emulating.<br /><br />Great points about true Torah Judaism having respect for the human mind. Movies and TV are horribble I agree. However the vice that I struggle with more than any other as an observant Jew is that of music. I grew up in a household where people sang, danced and played instruments. However as a woman, dancing in public is assur. Listening to music with 'rhythmic beats' is assur. I read a piece by a rabbi who's hashkafah I hold a lot of respect for. But when he addressed the music issue, he defines assur music as "anything that appeals to the bottom portion of your body as opposed to the upper." Oh my!<br /><br />It's such I slap in the face I feel. Music...in it's many different forms is beautiful. It is unrealistic to say that some of the most beautiful music was not inspired by love...either falling in love or heartbreak. These are strong and inspirational feelings and musicians capitalize on that. Just because I enjoy hearing someone sing about how wonderful their girlfriend is doesn't lower my own inhibitions towards my relations to the opposite sex. Of course I'm talking about tasteful references and not things that are just crass, foul-languaged, and just downright disguisting.<br /><br />So in that vain, I will be keeping my Temptations records. :-)<br /><br />I cringe when I think others see Orthodox Jews as brainwashed people. I really hope the reality is still more myth than fact in that regard.<br /><br />Good Shabbos!B.R.http://www.rishonan.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-55094013621988699542011-05-20T08:11:10.086-04:002011-05-20T08:11:10.086-04:00I can only see that women in the photo have been r...I can only see that women in the photo have been removed. I do not believe that there is any law written that women cannot be together with men. I think it is men invention. A non-Jewish commentator believed that was the case as women were always stuck behind a curtain and seperated from the men. If men are so scarred of women maybe men should marry men and women should marry women.<br /><br />I am aware of all the films and other things on TV showing sex like a public event everybody should see. I found always shocking. It is already planted in the children's mind since the 1980s. In Germany I had the feeling that children are no longer children from the age of 6. They talk about everything they saw on TV in a very disgusting way. It put me off in school from an early age ever considering having a relationship with a boy. I was scarred of everybody. I had some experience much later that were no fun either. It was just my curiosity. I guess I will always have problems getting into a normal relationship with a man. I am sure there are other people who grow up with fear or disturbed attitude to intimate relationships.<br /><br />SabineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-17392782058404215522011-05-20T05:16:24.367-04:002011-05-20T05:16:24.367-04:00God save us all from fanatics.

And you are totally correct about "closed societies" being able to cover up abuse within. <br /><br />Narrow-minded bigotry, as you say, should not prevail amongst Jews especially as it gives nourishment to anti-Semitic tendencies in others.<br /><br />Another great article, Jeremy - thanks and Good Shabbos to you and all thinking people.Leilanoreply@blogger.com
