Aren't they the 10 Commandments? not suggestions?
RELIGIOUS INTERRUPTUS ;
I had a conversation with a business acquaintance yesterday that left me feeling very disturbed.
This friend was telling me that he is in a new relationship. ( he's jewish, but that's an accident by birth, he tells me - he just happens to work here in Boro Park)
"Oh, great" I said to him, I'm so happy for you. Who is she?"
He replied, "She's a married woman, lives here in Boro Park, has 4 children, wears a sheitel, and she's good in bed." (am I allowed to say that on a blog site?) He then proceeded to tell me, that the last 4 or 5 "relationships" that he had prior to this one, were also with married women in Boro Park. I know he's telling the truth, because I know one of the women, and she did have a fling with him.
This conversation flabbergasted me!
Of course, I'm not living on a different planet, and I know that sometimes these things happen, one falls in love, some leave the life, and remarry outside of the boundaries that we have --- but to hear that it's common -- to hear that it's being done all over, is mind boggling. He tells me he can get most any married woman here for a sexual encounter, because they are, for the most part, frustrated in their intimate life, their husbands are not good bed partners, selfish with little regard to the wife's pleasure.
Answer me - what do you think of this?
I simply can't get it out of my mind.
I mean - I know that "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" - but I was not married when I rebelled . What's going on in this "so called" frum/chasidish/litvich/yeshivish community???
AND THEY WERE HYSTERICAL OVER THE SHEITEL ISSUE A WHILE BACK?? IS THIS WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM - NOT ADULTERY?
What happened to the Ten Commandments? Is there a "heter" that I don't know about?
