hmmm.. question

October 26, 2006

So, I woke up a bit late the other day. Instead of waiting until the 7:30 minyan, I decided to go to a different shul for the 7:15 minyan.

I hear it was a bit more modern…. but orthodox non the less.

SO far so good.

I got there and when I walked into the room, I saw there was a small mechitza and there were around 10 women there….PLUS an older fellow with his talis and tephillin on..sitting on the womens side.

Ok… so…. This dude.. maybe can’t sit by himself… so maybe his wife or nurse is helping him… but… hey… I’m just going to daven and that will be that.

The shul was mostly older people.. .a bunch said kaddish… the gabbai asked my if I had yahrzeit. I guess they must get a big walk in crowd that only comes when they have yahrzeit.

Well, I’m walking out at aleinu….and I glance to the womens side… turns out… the older man sitting with the woman was actually a woman.

Yup, wearing tallis and tephillin.

I was wondering.. which is worse… a man davening on the wrong side… or a woman wearing Tallis and tephillin..

anyone?

Shabbat Shalom… I’m going home..
