[Avodah] walking between 2 women

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

R' YL:
<<The gemara says that a person should not walk between two women.  If
he does, it is Kasheh L'Shikcha.  Does this mean even little girls?>>

R' ET:
Are most people really makpid on this?

I find it hard to believe that a chasid in the jewelry exchange can
walk down 47th st or fifth avenue in the middle of the day and never
be between 2 women with a good chance they are both Jewish
---------------------

I don't think that most people are makpid on this, but, to answer your
question, it seems that those who are are only worried about it if the two
women are walking or talking together, i.e., they're a pair. If two women
happen to be walking parallel to each other - like on 47th St. - but are
unrelated in any way, then they wouldn't be makpid. Purely based on my
observations and impressions; take it for what it's worth.
