**Verified?** *(This bot cannot verify AMAs just yet)* **Date:** 2012-03-11 **[Link to submission](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/)** **[Link to my post](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/tabledresser/c3zuq62)** Questions|Answers :--|:-- [Does your community allow for Female Rabbis, homosexual marriage, or any of the laws of Leviticus to be broken? Are you okay with these?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zra1b?context=5)|The Orthodox community does not allow for female rabbis, or homosexual marriage. I am definitely okay with that. I've never wanted to be a rabbi nor be gay - works for me. [Can you explain why you're okay with \(what is essentially\) the discrimination practised by your faith?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrh14?context=5)|Discrimination to who and about what? [Same-sex marriage is currently being debated in the United States. In this instance, marriage refers to a **legal** or **civil** contract. A person can become **legally** married without ever stepping inside a church and even atheists can get married. Judges, boat captains, etc all have the power to authorize marriage. That being said, understanding that same-sex marriage is being debated as a civil issue, do you think *your* religious views justify treating other people as second-class citizens in the eyes of the law?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zsfh7?context=5)|Everyone has an idea of what they think is right or wrong. Judaism does not believe in same-sex marriage. If I may point out, until King Henry VIII switched to Protestantism, divorce was not allowed in Catholic England. [Okay, I understand that you do not believe in same-sex marriage. I understand that. My question is whether you think *other* same sex people should have the same *legal* \(non-religious\) rights as others? Jews, I assume, recognize marriage as a religious contract between a couple and God. However, atheists can have a *legally* recognized. Do you think, in a secular government, same-sex civil unions should be treated equally to heterosexual civil unions? ](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zslki?context=5)|Legally, I see no reason why they should not have the same rights. I actually just recently had this conversation with my friend. I do not believe in same-sex marriage but I cannot see a legal reason why they should not be allowed to marry. [However, by the mere fact that you weren't born with a penis you are already not even give the chance to consider being a rabbi. That's why others see it as discrimination. Are there other women who do feel like it's discrimination and wish to be a rabbi? Or is that just something people don't talk about?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zvh82?context=5)|Why would I want to be a rabbi? Believe me, I am enjoying being a girl. Honestly, I think it would be weird if I looked like me and had a penis. I have never heard of an orthodox woman complaining that it is discrimination that they cannot be a rabbi. And I have talked with other women. [Ever been to Israel? Opinions on Israel?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrcx2?context=5)|I have been to Israel and loved it. I've also been to England and loved it too. And Mexico. And etc... Only opinion I'm willing to share is - Politics aside, Israel happens to be a beautiful country. [Did you spend the year there?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zstks?context=5)|I did do a year of schooling there, but I also visited it independently of that year. [Schooling as in you went to Bar Ilan or Hebrew University.. or like you went to seminary there?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zswq5?context=5)|I went to a seminary there. [Is it true that Jews are sneeky?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zraj7?context=5)|Yup. And I'm the sneekiest of them all. (You did mean sneeky and not sneaky, right?) [Do they also carry 2 bags of gold around their neck? One bag of fake gold, and one bag of real gold?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zraj7?context=5)|No. We've stopped doing that a while ago. Now we hide the fake gold under the mattress and the real gold in the freezer. [How much do you think of your religion as a personal choice and how much of it do you think if just how you were raised?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqa1j?context=5)|A lot of it was how I was raised, but since being an "adult" with my own mind, most of it is what I've chosen. It was my personal choice that I've stayed religious and everything I do now is by my own choice. [How do you think it's affected your love-life? You have find dating more difficult than it should be?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqbpt?context=5)|I don't think it has really been affected at all. I stick to dating Jewish guys and there are plenty of them out there... [What makes you think your religion is the right one to follow over the others? If you have children and it's a boy, will you allow the rabbi to perform metzitzah?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqdid?context=5)|I am well educated and have learned about other religions but I still feel that Judaism is the right religion for me. My personal choice. As far as metzitzah, it is an important part of my religion and traditions and I see no reason why not to do it. [Do you not consider if you were born into a Muslim family, that you would feel that is the right religion for you?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqgc1?context=5)|That's a possibility. But like I said before, I've learned about other religions and ideas and I what I know of Judaism is what I believe in. [As for studying other religions, is it a case of, 'that's bullshit, it's so made up' or that you believe Judaism is what you have been brought up with? You say well educated, do you think science is valid over scripture? ](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqhcm?context=5)|As far as other religions, it is definitely not a case of being told that they are bull or made up. It is more a case of "each to their own". Science and scripture go hand in hand. There are many times when each validates the other. [Do you not find it curious that most religious people follow the faith they were raised by?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zsm9j?context=5)|It is not curious at all. Do you like the food that your mother used to make for you when you were a child? Why do you still speak the language you were raised with? Keep in mind, that as an *adult* I still believe in my religion. [If you do have a boy, would you have the ritual performed with a sponge or a tube to minimize the risk, or would you have it done traditionally with the rabbi sucking directly?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrzu1?context=5)|I would discuss it with my husband when the time comes. [*Science and scripture go hand in hand.* Well, aren't you the brainwashed little religiobot?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqo7q?context=5)|Yes I am. I haven't a thought of my own in my head. [Do you see how cutting a piece of someones genitals is different?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zs794?context=5)|As far as circumcisions go, forget about religion for a minute. It is not said anywhere that is hurts the child medically, and in fact many medical authorities are pro it. [What do you think of plaistine, and what do you think about iran?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrfxd?context=5)|I don't like any country advocating the death of anyone no matter which country it is. [Soooo... you don't like the United States?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrkpy?context=5)|Home of apple pie and hot dogs. What's not to love? [So you don't like Israel?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zubwd?context=5)|Which country does Israel advocate the death of? [Wait, isnt it the other way around?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zu8ws?context=5)|Confused much? [I'm a Palestinian Muslim and I respect your honest answers. My question is, since you visited Israel, what's your opinion on settlements and settlers in Westbank? Most of them are orthodox, and they hurt us for no reason. I saw your answer about guys blowing themselves and I agree with you. But what about settlers who live on our land and try to hurt us all the time?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3ztcvb?context=5)|Most West Bank settlers are Modern Orthodox. And very pro Israel state. I do not think they are right in provoking fights. But don't you live in Dubai? [YES. wow, did I mention that before? I was in Palestine till 2007. But you didn't answer about what do you think of settlements in Westbank? ](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zthy3?context=5)|You wrote you were from Dubai on a couple of other threads. I did answer your question - read above. [Are you Modern Orthodox, Hasidic, or something else?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zt9gd?context=5)|Not offensive at all, and I'll try to explain it. [Are you currently in a relationship? is he/she also an orthodox Jew?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqcgt?context=5)|Not currently, but I was dating a religious guy a few weeks ago but it didn't go anywhere. [Are you doing shidduch dating, or have you just met guys on your own? If the latter, are your parents OK with it?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zt6uy?context=5)|Usually shidduch. Or friends. Or on my own. It depends on the situation each time. [Sorry to hear that. How strict are you with your views? Will you not have anything to do with non-jewish people? Would you ever feel comfortable dating a christian? if yes, how about a muslim, or an atheist?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqgla?context=5)|I have a lot to do with non-Jewish people. I work with them and some of my best friends aren't Jewish. [Is it enough that you are faithful, or does your partner have to be just as faithful as you before you are comfortable around them?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqgla?context=5)|As far as dating someone not Jewish - doesn't matter what religion they are, I wouldn't do it. I am interested in dating someone Jewish and marrying someone Jewish and wouldn't think of doing otherwise. I would like my partner to be as faithful as me as Judaism is not only a religion but in a way, a way of life too. [If your answer to all of that is that you wouldn't feel comfortable dating anyone with different beliefs than you, I also want to ask does it have anything to do with your potential future children, and how they are raised? Would you want them to be raised as you were or raised openly so that when the time comes they can be taught about all religions and choose for themselves?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqgla?context=5)|It does have a lot to do with how I would raise my children but that's not everything. I would want to raise them as I was raised but then, like me, they should reenforce their beliefs on their own. [Lets say in arguments sake; I was a charming very handsome fella, who was extremely down to earth, has an open mind to everything, knew how to make you happy on a daily basis, would allow his children to be Jewish if you/or they so chose, has the sense of humor of Bill Connolly, the body of Brad Pitt in Troy. Would you still not consider dating this man?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zu7e0?context=5)|Not that crazy about Brad Pitt's body in Troy. Maybe if you had the body of Alex O'Loughlin then we can talk... [When do you lay your eggs?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqpgq?context=5)|Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female.

[So you equate 'good parenting' with 'my kids believe what I believe'? That kinda sounds crazy to me, particularly as you say you yourself made a 'choice' to believe in your religion. If you had made a different choice, would you think your parents had failed?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zvjkx?context=5)|I equate good parenting with loving my children and showing them the right way (in my opinion). If they choose to think that what I am doing is not the right way, then yes I have failed. Like I wrote before, basically, I believe in God and try to be the best moral person I can be. So if my child seems to think that being a moral person is wrong, I have definitely failed. [Sorry that really sounds like 'my way is the only right way'. Do you think morality is the same thing as faith in a diety? Do believe people can be moral without faith?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zvnuq?context=5)|I did not say that morality and the faith in a deity was one and the same. There is belief and there is faith. I would like it if my belief and faith were strong enough that my children at least believed. [At religious functions are men and woman separated? Do woman cover their hair / dress in loose fitting clothes?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zr5qm?context=5)|It depends on the function. Family functions are not usually separated, but larger ones are. [Favorite Jewish holiday?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zr5ka?context=5)|Purim. [Favorite subreddit?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zr5ka?context=5)|AskReddit. [Favorite author?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zr5ka?context=5)|Hmmm... tough decision. I love Arthur Hailey, Rhys Bowen and Kevin Wignall among others. [What is the general view of jews on arabs? Is there any difference between the views of Israeli jews and non-israeli jews? Does it make a difference if the arab was christian or muslim? What if the arab were a jew? thanks :\)](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zt36f?context=5)|There is no general view. Obviously if it an arab who is trying to injure or kill Jews or Israelis (like the ones who blow themselves up, drive tractors over people or shoot at random Jews) then the view about them is not exactly positive. From both Israeli Jews and non. As a general rule, Christian Arabs are more tolerant of Jews that Muslim Arabs. (Keep in mind, I wrote *general* rule.) [Do you currently live in an orthodox neighborhood? Do you have any good friends that are not orthodox?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrqpe?context=5)|I do. And most definitely. I have friends who once were Orthodox but are not any more. I have Jewish friends who were never affiliated and I have friends who aren't Jewish and at least one who is an atheist. [How much sway does your temple's rabbi have in the live's of his congregation? Does his weigh in on personal matters such as marrying, divorce, and disputes between members? Does he expect to be involved?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrt37?context=5)|It is not so much sway in our lives as someone who can give advice. And it is not particularly the rabbi of the synagogue who does that. It can be any rabbi that a person chooses to go to for advice or answers if they have questions. [Are there some rabbis that can be a bit overbearing or nosy in the personal lives of others? Is that type of behavior discouraged?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zs09a?context=5)|I'm sure there are. Just like anywhere there are people who feel like they know everything. It isn't usually the rabbi tho that is the nosy one. Usually it is the older women who feel that without their input, the world could not continue. [Is non-belief going against the Torah? What about people who are uncertain and just don't commit to Judaism?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zw3i5?context=5)|As long as they don't go against the Torah on purpose, to prove a point. [Thats not correct. Im saying women are less restricted because they are considered property and baby making vesicles. I have no problem. I just dont see how any modern, forward thinking woman would allow themselves to be brainwashed by a male dominated controlling lifestyle. The fact that there is a mechitza\(sp.?\) and the fact that jewish women accept it is baffeling to me. So my question still is. Why do you allow yourself to be subjegated this way?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zz8in?context=5)|Where are women considered property? [Could you add proof please?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zvaln?context=5)|Well... I guess I can post a picture of my circumcised p... Oh wait. Never mind. [What do you think of Sara Hurwitz?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrmsn?context=5)|Yay for her. She isn't Orthodox, so it really has nothing to do with me either way. [Do you read Frum Satire?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrmsn?context=5)|I have read a couple of the posts. Sometimes he hits the nail on the head sometimes not. Like any blogger. [If she's not Orthodox, what is she?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrpb2?context=5)|I believe she is Modern Orthodox which is a lot closer related to Conservative. I do not know enough about her or her story to give you answers about her. [Ahhhh ok, I would definitely consider her Modern Orthodox. Where are you in terms of Orthodoxy? \(Hasidic, Sephardic, Haredi...\) Does egalitarianism \(or lack thereof\) bug you? I sometimes feel like being Orthodox is only worthwhile if I'm a man, but it's because I would feel bored or unimportant without counting in a minyan or not performing time-bound mitzvot etc. What makes you feel great about being a Jewish woman?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrv3u?context=5)|Sephardic isn't really a strain of Orthodoxy. It is more based on where your family used to live and what traditions they picked up from there. The hebrew word would be *dati* which means religious. Not a specific group. Egalitarianism (or lack of) doesn't bother me. In a way, not everyone should be considered equal (and I mean that not only for religion but in everything). Should I be upset that only American-born people can become president or something like that? As a woman, I actually have less responsibilities than a man. If you have specific questions feel free to pm me. [What are you favorite hobbies? What are some of your favorite books that you have recently read?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrtos?context=5)|Shopping, reading, hanging out with my friends. Like any other person, really. I just started Josh Bazell's second book *Wild Thing*. The first one, *Beat the Reaper* was great. [So do I. And I am a Jewish Orthodox female in my 30s. But I'll get specific: NYC. You? What level orthodoxy do you affiliate yourself with?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zro9r?context=5)|California. Just middle-ground Orthodox. What about yourself? [What is at the core of your belief system?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zs3wy?context=5)|Short answer: I believe in God and I believe in being the best moral person I can be. [What about when those two things intersect? I.e. what if you were tasked with the killing of Amalekite babies by God?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zxpgt?context=5)|Ummm... but I haven't been so... [What do you want to be when you grow up?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zqdi5?context=5)|I currently work in marketing and love doing that.

Before that I was working in a general marketing company where we have different departments for our different clientele. [Do you feel pressured to find a husband and start a family? Would you object if your husband and community demanded that you give up your career to raise your kids full-time? Would it be OK for your husband to be a stay-at-home dad while you were the bread-winner?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrrqr?context=5)|I do not feel pressured by anyone in particular. Such a situation that my husband would pressure me to stay home wouldn't occur. The fact that I am working is completely accepted by my community and the guy who marries me is obviously doing so with the knowledge that I am working now. It would be probably be fine if my husband wanted to stay at home - but that has nothing to do with religion - pretty much the same as in any marriage. [Oh I don't need help there but thanks anyway. Do you date guys that you meet by yourself or do you have someone else "reddit"?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zsz0t?context=5)|Cute one.

If you have, what was your reaction to it?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zs2o2?context=5)|I have not. I have learned a lot, been taught a lot, read a lot but have never learned everything. [Can you explain the rationale behind separation of men and women during prayer and other gatherings?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zroio?context=5)|I'll try my best. Small answer: Think of the 1940s and 1950s when there was a gender separation. Orthodox Judaism is kind of like that. We keep separate for the most part, but we still interact. [How about the no mixing on the dance floor rule? I always found that odd.](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrzvm?context=5)|It is the same as mixing anywhere. For the most part, guys and girls don't mix socially. [So essentially your lifestyle and customs are ridiculously outdated?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zrylx?context=5)|I just brought up the 1940s as an example so you can understand what I mean. But, yes, we are completely outdated. I mean, wearing a skirt or a dress? So outdated... [Have you ever seen a situation where a now orthodox \(formally less observant\) member of your community decided to marry and start an orthodox family? If so, has the mixing of non-orthodox and orthodox families gone smoothly?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zs2ik?context=5)|Sure. I personally know some people who didn't use to be orthodox now are and live very happily within the community. [Would you only go out with Jewish guys or if you were to get married to someone who wasn't Jewish, would you get them to convert? Also I just saw that you went to England, where about did you go?](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/qqxtp/iama_religious_jewish_orthodox_female_in_my_early/c3zu5ee?context=5)|I would go out with only Jewish guys. I would not get married to someone who was not already Jewish. If they had converted, it would depend on the reason they converted. London and surrounding areas. Loved it!

As a general rule, we do not believe in abortion. From the day of conception, a fetus is considered a living being and it is wrong to kill it. Unless - for medical or health reasons.
