CLD #486



For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
“Religious people do not respect their women!”
There is a huge misconception today in the world that people believe if one is religious, because the woman is covered up and ‘locked up’ at home, she is obviously treated like a pet or even treated like garbage. People believe that because religious people do not show affection, even touching in public, this shows that the relationship between the man and woman is completely dead.
Rav Darmoni shlit’a broke down the meaning of being religious and love according to the average religious couple, which follow Hashem’s Torah HaKdosha.
Today, anyone who wants to sell anything, even a simple beverage, has to put up on the ad a half clothed woman! Today a woman is seen as a piece of garbage. A husband sees his wife as some place to go to meet his desires. A popular line that is heard in the religious world is this: Why do you love your girlfriend? Who says you love her? You don’t really love her, you love what she does for you/what she substitutes.
Why don’t religious people show affection in public? Its because the man wants to say a rhetorical statement to the world: my wife is worth so much, she is not an item I simply publicize to the world. She is mine and I am hers, we have a connection that is private. Do we see the most classy and fancy weddings today have no guest list and just invite the whole public to the ceremony? Obviously not! The more Holy and respected affair, idea, simcha (celebration); the more private it will be.
This also makes sense with the woman and what she chooses to cover. Any normal woman knows that the only way she truly respects herself is by covering up. Everything that is important has some type of limit to it. Let’s look at the most technologically advanced cell phone in the entire world. The phone is the size of a credit card, it is indestructible, throw it off the top of the empire state and it will look even newer! How many people will the company sell the phone to? Not so many.
The woman is a human being, she is created for man and man is created for her. Let’s look at one of the most generally accepted places of respect in society: the Court of Law. Let’s say the top Lawyer in New York State walks into the courtroom in Albany for the biggest case of the year. He walks in with shorts and a Hawaiin shirt. What will happen? Obviously the Judge will kick him out! The same goes for the Jewish woman, the Bat Yisrael/Bat Melech (daughter of the King)! A woman is a respected human being. A woman who goes with clothing that does not cover so much, is not respecting herself. A respected person respects him/herself. One of the main differences between a human and an animal is the clothing.
Seeing her in clothes that’s fit for the rich people’s dogs in Manhattan is not the ideal woman. Period. No matter what anyone says the Torah is the most normal guideline for life, the Jewish religious woman is the way to go. If you have a hard time with this, go to Bnei Brak (city in Israel) and just follow a religious Jewish woman for 24 hours. You will see the holiness behind her actions.

“Sheker HaChen VeHevel HaYofi Isha Yirat Hashem Hi Tithalal,” (Charm is false and beauty is futile; a God-fearing woman is to be praised) Mishlei 30:30.

Judaism=Think.
