Continuing from the previous issue of intimacy with one’s students – at the beginning of this page, it seems that Rava’s students knew when he had sex with his wife. Really? Yes really.
How is it possible that the tradition was seemingly ok with someone knowing when her teacher has sex with her husband/wife, but we get to the point that even seeing the little finger of a woman can be considered inappropriate?
The tradition is not prudish, nor is it embarrassed of sex and the human body – but it knows that we can be. Our tradition recognises that as we lose perspective, our rules will change. It is not the problem of the tradition – it is the problem of our perspective.
