Learn Something New Every Day…
I saw this post by GoldieKatsu on seesmic, where she mentioned that she observes Shomer Negiah, specifically pertaining to following the Orthodox Jewish religious prohibition against shaking hands with the opposite sex…
and I wanted to give my thoughts about the concept and about GoldieKatsu’s SHARING of the concept with us…

Great Post Bill. I didn’t know about Shomer Negiah, either. Wish I could see Goldie’s seesmic, but you covered the basics.

Yeah Grace… I wish *I* could see it, too. :/
Basically, she posted about going to the Seesmic offices and meeting the founders, but not being able even to shake their hands because of observing Shomer Negiah.
I had never thought about it before, but I can’t remember a single time seeing any Orthodox Jewish women with the black outfits in the subway system in Manhattan. Maybe in Brooklyn, but I’m never there.
It was really interesting, attempting to apply that observance to*my* life.
Hey Bill how the hell are you. I was reading Chris Matthews Life Is a Campaign and got up to the Henson Towne poem. After reading it I decided to give a yell to people who I have not spoken to in a while.
As far as Shomer Negiah, I think as an idea it is a good one. In places where similiar rules are followed there always seem to be problems related to it. The Amish for example are said to have problems with rape of young girls by their young boys. I do not wish to seem critical, if it works by all means, but traditions like this have been known to create other issues.
Thanks to you and Goldie Katsu for sharing. Later
NINOOOOO!!! :D
What’s the haps, man? Hope all’s fantastic with you and yours!
It seems to be the season for online reunions. A good HS friend of mine just contacted me the other day on Facebook. I found a college friend online, as well as a couple of guys I used to work for, one when I used to program, and one from broadcast editing.
You’ve sparked me to start to utilize my online abilities to reconnect my IRL crew!
Thanks for the message, Nino! Respect, as always!
