I don't know who you are referring to when you say "he".You were responding to Spider-Pig. Okay you say "most Tohrah Observant Jews do not practice the custom. That would include Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionists also since they are also "torah observant." Even if it is practiced only by the ultra-Orthodox which I believe is the case, it is still practiced. It doesn't matter how few people practice it because "few" is a relative term even if all the Ultra Orthodox do not believe in it, a large number still do. By "Torah-observant" I mean "Orthodox." It's still being practiced by a very small segment of the population of Orthodox Jews, yet it is regarded as ridiculous and reprehensible by the vast majority of Orthodox Jews. I don't think it's fair to say "the Orthodox won't change any of their practices that they have been doing for thousands of years" when "the Orthodox" as a whole don't do it and never have done it. It's also a dumb "reason why [you] won't be Orthodox." |
