I enjoyed your tri-partite division, and look forward to your next<br>installment<br><br>But I was wondering if there might be more categories.<br><br>The one that stands out in my mind is "reactionism" -- i.e., in order to
<br>distinguish ourselves from others. Eating hot foods on shabbos is an<br>older instance. A more modern one might be hiring a non-Jew to play music<br>on shabbos -- which apparently used to be the custom for chasunes a while
<br>back (see S"A which expressly permits this) -- but is now sociologicall<br>ossur as a reactino to when Reform started to introduce music to their<br>prayer services.<br><br>A quick note, too, on one of your categories:
<br><br>> Activism:<br>...<br>> Goal:<br>> To pursue a liberal or a libertarian or a libertine] agenda. To promote<br>> progressivism. Maximise rights for the people.<br><br>In halacha, activism goes both ways. Certainly those involved in
<br>so-called "chumra of the month" types of communities, which sometimes<br>spread to the rest of us. (I can't help but wonder if women vis-a-vis<br>parshas zachor might be of this variety -- but one can possibly think of
<br>others: requiring light boxes to examine lettuce, selling one's keilim for<br>Pesach, etc.)<br><br>> BEH I will follow up with Halachic parallels in the next post.<br><br>I look forward<br><br>-- Sholom<br><br>
