I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Lovely! I like Mr. Shewkey's voice. So, as I'm watching, I'm suddenly realizing that here we have a group of mixed men and women playing the music... so (in relation to the IDF rules) it is ok for women's music to be heard by men as long as it is an instrument and not a singing voice. But hearing an verbal order from a woman is ok (and if they are ranking, would be acknowledged and obeyed). And it is ok for the women to see this man singing verses? This would actually be more open than our local Chabad, which puts women to the side with opaque screens blocking the men's section (where the bimah is - can't see the bimah) and where it is a rebuke-worthy infraction to move one's (female) head to look through a gap in the screens to see a son in an aliya. I'd like to know the IDF's citation of Torah verses calling for these things. I have trouble reconciling it with the Torah I've studied.
