WHAT IF YOU WERE THE RABBI?

Imagine one of your students sends you this email. What do you say in reply? 

-----------------------------------------------------

Dear Rabbi:                                                    

 So I was talking with my cousin Mendel about how awesome my Taekwondo teacher is.  I told him how skilled Master Levy is, how she is normally all serious, but every so often is really funny.  She’s also very strong and fast and can break bricks with her bare hand. She knows how to use two swords at once, which looks easy but is so hard to do. She’s a 7^th degree black belt. 

Mendel said that the she’s forbidden to do all that because it’s not modest for a woman to teach martial arts.  I ignored that, because in his part of the Jewish world, women don’t wear pants or touch men outside their immediate family, unlike in our side of Judaism where all that is seen as normal and OK.

But then I mentioned how both of her daughters teach at her school. Her daughters are 2^nd degree black belts.  Every so often they spar and it’s amazing how fast they move when they fight. “Oh no. And she is Jewish?” my cousin asked. “Yes actually,” I told him, “the do-jang is closed on Saturdays and holidays like Yom Kippur.”

“Well then,” he said,  “her children aren't allowed to train with her. If they hit her, the Torah says they’re Choyev Misa --they get the death penalty. It’s in Shemot 21:15,  וּמַכֵּ֥ה אָבִ֛יו וְאִמּ֖וֹ מ֥וֹת יוּמָֽת׃  -- One who strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.”

I was pretty shocked. Is this true? It looks like the Torah says this, but as I learned in our religous school class with you this year,  we might not take it literally. So do we? Is this the way we apply that Torah rule today? Is Mendel right about this?

Signed,
