[Avodah] Wedding Rings for Men

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah Digest V26#41, RJIR noted:
> If you take the more
standard approach, it's certainly not a chiyuv for a male in the
workforce to wear a ring but it certainly sounds like an eitzah tova unless
there's a reason not to (e.g. to be different than - who?  -  especially
assuming your covering your head) <
And why must we look any more askance at what could be (and, in my case,
is) a gift from one's wife that one proudly wears every day than we would
at a special-watch gift from one's wife that one proudly wears as a
tachshit on Shabbos v'YT?  Goodness, do I have to note SA OC 161:3 and,
inter alia, MA 161:11 to demonstrate that the concept of wearing a ring
isn't limited to the fairer sex?!  So why are certain people not satisfied
with limiting this discussion, as someone (RJIR?) noted in replying to RDE,
to a wedding-time double-ring ceremony?

All the best from
