Hi Sara, as far as Pro 23:23, that is all symbolic and is not talking about not selling anything of Yah.

Let us know when you find the store that will give away the CDs, the Bibles, the books, the tzadaka boxes, the tallits, mezuzzahs, the crosses and other jewelry - I'll be the second one there (you having been there first, of course).
I have been trying to post photos and links in here, and I finally found out that I have to have 50 posts or more here to be able to do that. So it won't let me post anything about my Togs, so that you can see them. How can I get you to be able to see them?

You are half way there....maybe you can do a lot more posts throughout
CF to get the count up. Or perhaps it is possible to put pictures of them
in your profile?
Dear sister,Henaynei, what the Rabbi's say, really does not matter. God's Word is what counts. "The Rabbi's" have taken God's Word and changed it, and made it their own, and have added to it, their own rules and regulations, and made their word above even Yah's Word!
You even admit that the Rabbi's are the one's who lay these rules down, not God. You are placing what the Rabbi's say, above Yah's Word. No where in your statement do you proclaim anything within Yah's Word. You are just all about what "the Rabbi's say".
You said, "This is why the rabbis exempt them from certain mitzvot". The (Rabbi's) exempted women from wearing Tzitzit's, where Yah TOLD THEM TO WEAR THEM.
You said, "Why must we desire to emulate those things that the rabbis have agreed are for the men? Here again, you said, 'that the RABBI'S AGREED............are for men'. Do you see what you're saying? THE RABBI'S ARE NOT LAW!!! Yah's Word IS LAW!
Open your eyes. Please!
Yah's Word says that "the 'children' of Israel" need to wear Tassels on the fringes of their outer garments. The word 'children' here, just as in many other scriptures, means "ALL" of Yah's children, not just men, whether within the fold our outside of it, for ALL generations.
Stop depending on "THE RABBI'S" and start depending on Yah's straight undefiled Word, and His Word, ONLY.

This is where I fall on the spectrum.... I agree that women should feel free to wear tsitsit and kippah, if they so choose. But, I agree that women are not bound to such laws. I don't agree with the normal dictum that not being obligated to it means that you cannot do it. That's where I see the disconnect. Women are not bound to these things, but that doesn't mean that they should be prohibited from doing them.)
This is where I fall on the spectrum.
I see where cute caps like in the 20s-50s are allowable, or feminine (only for women) kippot that are arguably not about being "the same as" or anything - or tzitziot if you're so led, without people sneering or judging your motives, or spitting / throwing things at you.
I have heard that there are some women who tie tzitziot to the corners of their headcovering. I find that a very interesting way to observe the commandment. It's uniquely feminine, without wearing a tallit katan (which is arguably masculine clothing)
kwim?
You "get" me! I'm glad to know I'm not so out there as some people think. This was also my understanding after studying the issue extensively for a couple of years.Yeah, I understand. But, I also have a problem with "masculinity" and "femininity" in regards to clothing. It is so socially determined, which means that it changes with the generations. What men wore in the times of the Roman Empire is completely different from what men wear today. In Scotland, men wear skirt-like kilts. Who's to determine what is "masculine" and "feminine"? It's a judgment call, and I don't think that anyone should be judged one way or another based on such cultural values.
As regards the tallit katan (טַלִּית קָטָן, I've never seen a woman wearing one, but it's not something that I think is outlandish.
Traditionally, women are not required to perform any time-restricted mitzvot (מִצְוֺת. Wearing a tallit is connected to the day time (there's no command to wear a tallit at night), since the commandment says that you have to see the tsitsit (צִיצִית and historically, you have to have light (the sun) in order to see, and people didn't have electric lights that could be on all the time.
This is why women are not under obligation to the same set of prayers that men are obligated to. The prayer cycle is connected to the time of day. But, I see a distinction with the fact that women are supposed to light the candles of Shabbat, which is certainly time-restricted. It's clearly not an explanation that is across-the-board applicable. So, it also seems a strange reason to restrict what women can wear (as regards the tallit katan).
