<p>In Avodah Digest V26#41, RJIR noted:<br>
> If you take the more<br>
standard approach, it's certainly not a chiyuv for a male in the<br>
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) <<br>
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?<br>
<br>
All the best from<br>
