A mother is מספיד her son - ה"י
















Mrs Chaya Subar eulogizes her son R. Dovid Winiarz at the YI of SI

I assume that VIN posted this story with that headline to grab attention - which it did. The story is a heartbreaking one. What can one say? Somewhere out there feminists are smiling. I also guess that after the dust settles, so to speak, somebody out there will criticize the shul, and maybe some the black-hat Rabbonim who attended and did not speak up. I did not know the niftar, but they say that he had a tremendous amount of Ahavas Yisroel and did much to bring Jews closer to Hashem and his Torah.

I am certain that rrf would not have attended had he known that a woman would be maspid but his sensitivity to the mourners prevented him from walking out in protest.

How common is it for women to be maspid in your circles? 5towns / eish kodesh allow?

איתא בזוה"ק (ויקהל צו.) הנהיגו מזמן קדמון בירושת"ו, ששום אשה לא תצא אחרי המטה, ואף נשיו וקרוביו אינם יוצאים מפתח החצר, ומנהג ותיקין הוא. עכ"ל. הגר"ש וואזנר (בשבה"ל ח"ב סי' ריב) כתב שבזמננו יש להחמיר בכל הנ"ל יותר ממה שהחמירו בזה בדורות הקודמים, מכמה סיבות, עי"ש.

well the Satmar Rebbe writes in a Teshuva in Divrei Yoel that it is strictly forbiden. As the gemore cites in Sucah cites how the hesped on Moshiach ben Yosef will look like.

But surprise!
Which woman was maspid the Satmar Rebbe himself in the Beis Medrash?

I was there!

non other than his own rebetzin Alte Feiga!

Yosef 718

Wow, hormones are raging over here. Where does Vizhnitz come in? Are they always the other side of the fight?
