Burkas for Jews: Haredi Feminism shows its face

Check it out.

Haredi women wearing burkas?!?!?!?!?!

The irony is that it is Haredi women who are behind this despite their husbands objection and it was Haredi women who caused such a furious campaign against sheitels.

I was there in 2003 for the big blowup and my wife had to deal with the fury of these women.With the sheitels, they essentially pushed the Rabbis into taking their position on sheitels, namely that one should not wear them.

It is a very interesting display of feminism but don't kid yourself, this is feminism.

Although to be perfectly honest, when in all haredi publications and videos the women are either not shown or their faces are blurred out, It was only a matter of time before some women decided to conceal their faces on the street.

If the Rabbanim are pushed by radical women into mandating this, Judaism will be permanently changed.
