okay I 'm game! I'm a Jew whose daughter leans toward atheism, so how is a female driving being immodest??? By not having a veil over her face? Her legs are covered in the car
Well, see, it's just... because.
From a student's father:
There are lots of schools in Stamford Hill. If a woman wants to drive they can send their kids to a different school. He struggles to explain the religious reasons behind the ban. I dont know how to explain the reasons. Im not sure but most Hasidic women dont drive, he said.
From a mother:
One 35-year-old mother of seven, who was walking to pick up her son from Machzikei Hadass school, said: I dont drive. Its a modesty thing; my mother never drove either. The men drive and the ladies dont, thats just the way it is.
From the directors of Neshei Belz Organization of the Women of the Belz community in London:
"We believe that driving a vehicle is a high pressured activity where our values may be compromised by exposure to selfishness, road-rage, bad language and other inappropriate behaviour.
So yeah - because.
