So you're in favor of banning the Waltz and any type of ballroom dancing?

I was just joking, but no, I have never seen religious dancing, except perhaps in some movies.

What is interdancing?

I think it's Yacov-speak for ballroom dancing or any type of dancing that involved male to female contact.

I personally don't agree with banning this. But for anyone who is favor of strictly enforcing shomer negia traditions, then it's only logical that this follows.

I mean, I'm not a big fan of the Mekhitza even in religious weddings...but it is what it is...

A contact dance should only be performed by a man and his wife. Dancing with a daughter or son is acceptable, too. A man dancing with any other women doesn't make sense.

Jewish dances are traditional, so banning them would be going against Jewish culture. Our culture is very important, and must be perserved in a time where the implementation of external cultures is starting to occur.

What is interdancing?
Any dance where two people are dancing together. That is just crazy to me, by the way, to ban dancing with a partner. Its DANCING.

How about the show "So you think you can dance" that not only has "male-female interdancing", but also goes out of its way to encourage setting up interracial dancing couples. I guess that show needs to be banned as well :)

You really have no understanding of morality or Jewish customs. Having contact with other women, besides one of your own family, is wrong. A husband or even an unmarried man should not be dancing with strange women. And if he's married he should only be dancing with his wife or daughter.

Yacov was talking about anyone dancing with a person of the opposite sex, not just Jewish people. lol

Yeah, he should go out onto the dance floor, do a John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever) dance all alone. LOL Lord KNOWS Dancing just gets people into a lot of trouble. lol Are you also saying though that a married man shouldn't dance with his sister in law either?

I KNOW I know nothing of Jewish tradition...I don't think Yacov was talking about Jewish people interdancing with eachother. He didn't specify.

HE DIDN'T SPECIFY WHETHER HE WANTED TO BAN INTERDANCING BETWEEN JEWISH PEOPLE OR  NON-JEWISH PEOPLE.

I'm comfortable with my husband dancing with another woman if he so chooses. He's never asked to but if he did, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. I'm secure in our relationship like that.

Really, how prudish can you be if you want all interdancing banned just to satisfy how things are run in your religon? We're talking about banning clothing, banning holidays..what's next? Is someone going to propose a ban on smiling and being happy?

Do you ever contribute anything meaningful? Why don't you and Erica go find a nice anti-semetic, liberal forum?

All you and Erica ever do is oppose the Jews of JTF. Why are you two hear if you're against this movement?

I'm not going to speak for Erica. But what gives you the idea I oppose the Jews of JTF? Nothing could be further from the truth. Just because I oppose some of the views of JTF posters (and also crack a joke here and there) doesn't make me opposed to the Jews of JTF. I'm a Jew of JTF. So perhaps you're also opposed to the Jews of JTF. You're engaging in some really absolutist thinking here, young Skywalker.

I don't appreciate being called anti-semetic, which, from what I've heard of it means one who has desdain for Jewish people. I DON'T HATE Jewish people, ANd I'm sure that Daniel dosen't either...he knows more about the Jewish religion than I do. You must be hateful though, right? If no one is hating around you, you crab, they MUST be against you or your religion (if not both). I can't help that you can't agree to disagree.


>>> ANd what IF one's wife is 'strange'..should he dance with her just to keep up appearances? This is both a serious question and a query made in jest.

Thanks Erica. You're right, I'm not antisemitic. But according to some posters here. I must be a self-hating Jew. But I think that term is fallacious. If anything, I'm an "other"-hating Jew. And even the term hate, I object to. I don't hate myself and don't hate other Jews whom I happen to disagree with. I'm a self-loving Jew and an other-disagreeing Jew with those I happen to disagree with.
