Jewish women cannot drive in New York | Rehmat's WorldMuslims in the West have long been under attack for the ban in Saudi Arabia (ruled by a western puppet Ultra-Orthodox Wahhabi minority) for women to drive in public. However, these western bigots are at loss to face the fact that Jewish women are neither allowed to drive or walk on the same side of the street as men right in New Square, an Orthodox Jewish enclave north of Time Square.
The whole community was built for one purpose, to live within the very strict confines traditions, attitudes and customs. And part of that is youre part and parcel of a very strict communal structure, say Ezra Friedlander, PR consultant to numerous Orthodox Jewish communities.
"Hasidic Village Keeps Women Out of the DriverMeanwhile, in the Hasidic village of New Square, N.Y., religious leaders recently issued a document reminding residents that women should not sit in the front of a car. Released in July by the communitys top rabbinical court, the document was aimed at shoring up several communal standards especially those regarding womens conduct.
Its considered not tzniusdik [modest] for a woman to be a driver, not in keeping with the out-of-public-view [attitude], village spokesman Rabbi Mayer Schiller said. If you can imagine in Europe, would a woman have been a coach driver, a wagon driver? It wouldve been completely inappropriate.
The villages religious leaders have made an exemption for an 80-year-old woman who was one of the communitys original residents and hadnt known about the driving prohibition before she moved there.
New Square, a 7,000-person enclave located 40 miles north of New York City, was founded by the late Skverer rebbe Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Twersky, a Holocaust survivor, and his followers. The village was established in 1954 and officially incorporated seven years later. It relies heavily on private charitable donations and on government-assistance programs.
In the recent document, New Square religious leaders reiterated the prohibition against girls riding bicycles; also, women are forbidden from going outside in their long housecoats a common fashion staple in many Orthodox communities.
In some ways, Saudi Arabias laws regarding women are more permissive than the religious edicts in New Square. For example, a Saudi woman is allowed to ride in the front seat of a car if the driver is her husband. While husbands and wives in Saudi Arabia are allowed to walk with each other, New Square men and women always must walk on different sides of the street.
The difference is that these are religous laws only, and the punishments can only be given out by a rabbinical court, to a person that agrees to be under the juristiction of said court.
An outside person going through the community cannot he held liable to these laws, and if anyone tried to, they would be sued into oblivion.
The Saudi Arabian laws are actual civil law, and are enforced on ANYONE who tries to go against them.
