Folks: If you’re going to ask me a question, at least adjust your spam filters so that you can receive the answer.
Background: I answer questions on the Internet. I answer questions related to California Highways, and more significantly, I answer questions on Judaism in my role as the maintainer of the Soc.Culture.Jewish Frequently Asked Questions. This morning, I received a question from boboxburgh44 at AOL. The questions were realistic1, and so I sent answers. They bounced: the user isn’t accepting mail from me. Guess you aren’t going to get your answer!
1 The questions were:
(1) In the Reform tradition do women (as well as men) wear the tallit and touch the Torah Scrolls with the tassels?
(2) What is the tradition with regard to the covering of women’s heads during services?
(3) Can women play an equal part in the worship services and perform all the functions a man might do?
(4) Can women serve as cantor?
