RoseRose:
Yes, I'm shomeret negiah (shomeret being the feminine form, shomer being the masculine form). Also shomeret Shabbat, shomeret kashrut, and shomeret tzniut. The word 'orthodox' means 'following the laws', not 'belonging to a particular synagogue'. wink

sweatdrop I knew that... I'm taking biblical hebrew right now. I just forget when I'm using words that I learned first as just "this means this in general" rather than in Hebrew.

And I know it doesn't mean belonging to a particular synagouge, but the Chabad rabbi and rebbitzin are that. Also if you belong to certain synagouges, you are more likely to be orthodox, at least in my experience. Which is why I said the Orthodox lifestyle, because following the laws necessitates a change in lifestyle from how I grew up.

I thought most Jews had membership in more than one synagogue -- at least that's what it's like in my hometown.

Really? Are you sure they don't just ATTEND more than one synagouge rather than belong to more than one? I've never heard of that...

Cultures are so different everywhere.



But all this talk of shomeret nagiah reminds me of my recent trip to Israel, and a discussion we had while waiting for the plane on the way back (it was a college student trip) after meeting a shomeret nagiah tour guide (some people on the trip had never even heard of it, and were completely shocked). What is the proper thing for a person who is shomer/et nagiah who is stuck in a situation where it would be hard/almost impossible to avoid touching a member of the opposite gender, such as in airplane seating, where the plane is full and you don't have an opportunity to change seats?

And I'm gonna have to go start a thread about modesty... it isn't really theology, but so many have standards on modesty, I want to see how they compare... *goes to start that*

Well, I was writing a paper about Jewish identity in Nashville, 1940-1960, and I found a 1949 Jewish census saying that most Jews in Nashville had membership in more than one synagogue. Also, I noted that my best friend had membership in two synagogues, as did many of my other friends. So maybe that isn't normal anymore, but it certainly was here at one time.

It could be regional differences. I've only been in Jewish communities in Israel, Pennsylvania (with relatives in the DC area) and Oregon. Nothing Southern at all.
