I don't agree with the way they went about it. and based on my own values, I in all likelihood would not do it (make separate leaving times for shul) myself. <BR/><BR/>but other people have different values than I do, and there are precedents for such measures, such as e.g. the balcony in the beis hamikdash.<BR/><BR/>so if they would be amenable, and these are indeed their values -- based on the women's comments, it does not seem like it is -- then locking the ezras nashim would not be necessary. they would leave before Aleinu of their own accord, or wait the 15 minutes patiently. and if they decided that locking the door was a necessary reminder, so that you stop for a moment, they could do so with a key hanging permanently from a chain inside the ezras nashim, so that they could get out in emergencies. or one appointed woman by the door could have the key, or there could be something in the doorknob to turn to lock or unlock it.<BR/><BR/>not that I would do it myself, of course...<BR/><BR/>Kol Tuv,<BR/>Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-49105758889910578142008-09-01T23:55:00.000-04:002008-09-01T23:55:00.000-04:00"Women locked inside Breslov shul -- that women sh..."Women locked inside Breslov shul -- that women should leave before Aleinu, or else be locked in the shul for 15 minutes. The street it narrow, and they did not want mingling. But they should have asked the women if they were amenable, and at least have told them of it before springing this upon them."<BR/><BR/>this sounds dangerous. god forbid there is a fire. or someone has a heart attack. How does this work? <BR/><BR/>Locking women in also sounds downright hostile. <BR/><BR/>Do you really think it's normal or OK to lock people up "if they are amenable"? lock them up?<BR/><BR/>I hope there is something i am missing here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-45019138219027080902008-08-31T20:45:00.000-04:002008-08-31T20:45:00.000-04:00just to clarify, wondering something does not mean...just to clarify, wondering something does not mean that I am in any way confident in it, or have researched it in any way, or am suggesting it with any real force. (in fact, calibration based on tree rings and so on has nothing to do with this.) but I am open to the possibilities as they unfold, and we will have to see what subsequent research reveals.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, while I see no theological problem with an ancient earth, and with evolution, and so on and so forth, anything is theoretically possible. And I've always considered the half-life of 5730±40 years as somewhat interesting.joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-747614839585502362008-08-31T20:36:00.000-04:002008-08-31T20:36:00.000-04:00it is you again? ;)it is you again? ;)joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-73384083763263250952008-08-31T20:27:00.000-04:002008-08-31T20:27:00.000-04:00"But on the other hand, I wonder if it would affec..."But on the other hand, I wonder if it would affect calibration of half-life of carbon part the 5740 or whatever it is, such that it could have an impact."<BR/><BR/>You are SO strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
