Orthodox Jewish men given a new weapon in the war against sexual temptation… blurred glasses so they can’t see women
It may seem a short-sighted solution but blurred glasses are their latest tool available to ultra-orthodox Jewish men who want to stop eyeing up beautiful women.
The specially-designed out of focus glasses are proving popular among so-called 'Charedi' men in religious areas of Israel.
Orthodox men can also purchase blinkers or vision-impeding hoods - as famously worn by Sephardi Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira.
The Committee for Purity in the Camp also supplies portable screens that can be erected in an airline seat to block passing women from views and prevent men from inadvertently watching in-flight movie with scantily-clad women .
Bottom line is, that is if you put blinders on men so the won't have lustful thoughts about women, should we put blinders on women when they pass the jewelry stores so they don't see diamonds?

They have arranged marriages.
Well at least they put the blame where it belongs. If men can't control their lust thoughts, then they are the ones that should deal with the consequences. I think it's nuts but it's not as sexist as woman having to wear burquas.
Hell no! I like temptations!
Blurry glasses! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. lmao I gotta go with Mike on this one. lol
LOL RD!

There are so many denominations ofJudaismincluding many in orthodoxy, that this most be one of the most out there sects. It is most definitely an exception and not the rule.
Oh don't worry yourself, darling.
We'll be gentle.....

Sexist, yes. Barbaric. Definitely.
Are you sure there are buses that practice segregation by sex on New York buses? (or, for that matter, anywhere in the U.S.)?
Isn't that unconstitutional?
RD,
I live in NY, and the only two groups of ultra orthodox Jews who do that are the Neturei Karta and the Satmar. They live in their own neighborhoods toseparatethemselves from all others, including all other Jews. In other words, they are a fringe element.
They aredespisedin Israel and the government has recently had enough of it, and is cracking down on them.
Exactly Katheryn.
LOL Shelly! I bet they might like it
RD,
Although I didn't doubt that something like this happened, the "New York World", Is a Columbia University Newspaper. Here is the story as it really went down:
...
Yes, they are on the fringe, but it is not being tolerated. And as suspected, it is the Satmar doing this.
Yes it is Krish and it shouldn't be allowed.
Sounds a lot like beer goggles, and my own experience is they have the opposite effect....
Oh RD.. it can never be enough for them. Hey, this one is hot!
LMAO! The sad thing is, I got it from a site on bad plastic surgery. She's real!
Ridiculous! You can find such junk by people from any group annd you should not besmirch the group for an outlier.
