With this logic the same would have to apply to nail polish (I know you don't use it, but not for chatzitza reasons...) handling dough, or any other chatzitza, let's make a new תקנה that women are not allowed to kneed dough, let's see how that will stick.
And re: tznius, I didn't know that they wore "huge shawls" up until 250 years ago, I should go tell historians about this.
As I said, find me one source where you see that this תקנה was premeditated by Rabanim and intentionally instated, and I'll shut up.
And please go read that article, we can't argue on it's merits without you having read it. If you want I can send you the whole text in a PM.
Thanks.
Wow, it sure sounds like you're trying to get me mad with all that sarcasm, but I'm not. (M'derkent az ihr kimt fin a kanuosdige background - nur genitzt oif farkert... uber b'emes, az ihr zent nimos fin "satmarkeiten", vie past di sharfe geredechts? afilu bei di fartzeitische iz es shoin nisht in der mudde.)
If nail polish would be used in our circles, I wouldn't be surprised if they would make a takunah that it shouldn't be applied a significant amount of time prior.
I'm sure you're aware we don't handle dough that day. I don't think it lasts longer.
Did I give the number 250? Many years could pass until a new takunah is issued. And as clearly stated, just my own theory.
To paraphrase your request: As I said, give me the source to what you stated - with seeming certainty - that it originates from peasants. I'm not disproving, it's just hard for me to believe so I want to check that out myself. I actually like finding mekoros to minhagim, legit or otherwise.
I can't speak for every chasidishe woman out there, but I personally don't have a hard time accepting a chumrah that's been the tradition for a while but doesn't have a clear mekor - provided that it makes sense. This chumrah does make sense to me, as I've seen my neighbors' hair plenty of times, and I do remember the difficulty of ridding one's hair from a chatzitzah. If a woman does have an issue with such a chumrah - by all means, find your kids a different school! Just like any school, Satmar has every right to make any rules they wish, as ridiculous as you may find them, as long as they don't force anyone to send there.
I would appreciate getting the article for personal interest, but I never even pretended to argue on its merits. Someone asked me for my thoughts about the way the woman was treated, and I commented from what I know based on hard facts from different Satmar
communities. It didn't occur to me that KJ would be
that different.
