Not really catty. This place, MJ as a whole, was going thru some major trials with some viral posters and that's what was being referenced.
I do not wear tzitzit as it is not considered a commandment for women. .
Considered by whom?
Are not women also "Children of Israel"?
Numbers 15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
My wife and daughters wear them.
Some women in my congregation wear them, some have not yet been convicted to do so.
It seems to be fairly straight forward to me - YHWH said wear them.
To me it is submission, obedience and yes - it helps us to remember.
But that's me
I'm with the Rabbis on this one. Women are exempt from time-centered mitzvahs.
And on what do you base this?
Where do you see in the Word the Most High giving women "an exemption"?
Why did you quit wearing them? Is it related to being so far awayI used to wear tzitzits. It has been years though.
I no longer attend synagogue. I moved 6 hours away.

Ah, yes, the old "pick and choose". Is that what "convicted" means?xDena[/quote said:I don't do or not do anything because of "conviction". That's basically doing whatever you feel like doing.

Deciding on one's own that one should do something?
I never quite understood the term as related to Christianity.
It's supposed to mean you wait for God to tell you what to do. But is that the reality? I don't believe so.
I can see all kinds of problems with that....what happens if two people ask G-d the same question regarding an observance and receive two different answers? Who's right? Which way do you observe the commandment?

Respectfully: Yes, you do.
You do what you choose to do.
You make choices.
You decide to do something and you do it (or not)
Perhaps we have a different definition of "convicted". I could as easily (to my mind) written, "some have not yet decided to wear tzitzit." I could have also written, "some have not yet decided to be obedient to the Most High and His commands as written in Torah".
And FWIW - I do not consider myself a "Christian".
"I" choose to follow what my Father said in His word - not what some men say.
It's cool, it's a free country (sort of).
We all make choices in life.
Choices have consequences.
Choose wisely.
