Considering that that itself is against halacha I found it odd that she would say that was required...
Contrary to halacha to keep your nightgown on?
She said that's how its required?
She did a great job of explaining.
+100 -- she is obviously very bright and articulate - while perhaps not an unplanned discourse, it was definitely unscripted on the show. She really did a great job explaining...
Is the Mikva she described accurate? Is going to what she referred to as a “spa” happen every month?
The expressions on the audience’s faces were telling. A few questions: Is the Mikva she described accurate? Is going to what she referred to as a “spa” happen every month? How much does this cost?
All I can say is “that is pretty amazing”.jewda – You are killing me (YMMY). I usually have a smart comeback but not in this thread.
If I were in NY I would like to go her book reading and ask her some questions... I do feel bad for her, and have no problem with her venting her anger about truthful wrongs. It's the non-truths and half-truths that bother me.
+1 Though I do think they may very well have been "truths" for her. Different families do different things even within a specific chassidut.
It's definitely preferable not to, see Mishnah Berurah 240:36 and Even Haezer 76:13.
Should we also credit her for not claiming we have horns?
There's a difference between passively omitting a statement and affirming that a certain concept is not true.She definitely shot herself in the foot by saying those words which are one point in favor of the Satmar's.
