okay we have a question here from David G recently some Orthodox schools in the New York area have permitted girls in their school to wear to Fillin I was wondering if the rabbi can give his opinion of whether or not it is permissible for a woman to wear Fillin and what he thinks of the school's decision to allow this can you please give your opinion if this is permissible to wear for a woman to wear a Talus as well well um even without going into reasons it's very very very upsetting for people to come and do things against what was considered right for thousands of years thinking that they're smarter than everybody from before all the Jewish people over the generations women did not put on fing they're not put on a Talis whether they they're not put on a Talis whether they understand it or not it's it's irrelevant but they weren't stupid people they were great people much greater than these girls putting on S are whe what schools they are much greater than them much greater than the teachers much greater than the principles and they're really great people over the generations I think they're very foolish to think that they are smarter than them and now they can come along and say we are doing this and we're greater than our all ancestors for thousands of years it's like like people
