Are men and women allowed to shave with razors? Halachos for Women #Torah #shorts

3 months ago

In this insightful lesson, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner addresses a common yet complex set of questions regarding the laws of shaving and personal grooming within the framework of the Torah. While many are aware that Jewish law prohibits men from using a razor on certain parts of the face, the nuances involving modern technology and gender-specific prohibitions require a deeper understanding of Halacha. Rabbi Lerner clarifies the specific facial areas that are protected by the Torah and explains the technical difference between a razor and an electric shaver. He provides practical guidance on what to look for when purchasing a shaver, specifically warning against lift and cut technology which may violate the prohibition of shaving like a razor. For those who already own such devices, he mentions that there are ways to modify them to remain compliant with the law. Furthermore, the video explores the differences between men and women regarding these laws. Rabbi Lerner explains why women are permitted to use razors for certain types of grooming while men are restricted not only by the prohibition of the razor but also by the prohibition of following the ways of women. This includes a discussion on grooming other parts of the body such as the neck, legs, and underarms, providing a clear boundary for what is permissible and what is forbidden for both genders. What are the five spots on the face that a man cannot shave with a razor? Are men allowed to use a razor on their neck? Is it permissible for women to shave their legs with a razor? What is lift and cut technology and why is it a halachic concern? How can a person find out if their electric shaver is kosher? Why are men forbidden from shaving their underarms or legs? Can a non-kosher shaver be modified to be used according to the Torah? - - - - BeEzrat HaShem Learn with Lerner LevLeib@BeEzratHaShem.org Join our FREE online classes every Monday to Thursday night: +1 201-725-3444 | JEW, BE, HOLY | - - - - #Torah, #Tanakh, #God, #faith, #laws, #rabbi, #morals, #ethics, #morality, #jews, #torahLecture, #lawsOfPurity, #LawsofJudaism, #BeezratHashem, #RabbiLevLeibLerner, #LearnwithLerner, #RabbiMizrachi, #HalachosofJudaism, #biblestudy, #selfdevelopment, #selfimprovement, #musarmovement, #lawsforwomen, #lawsofbrachot, #rabbiefraimkachlon, #rabbiyaronreuven, #jewishstories, #shabbatcandles, #torahstudy, #ConvertingtoJudaism, #TorahLaws, #ToviaSinger, #TorahTruth, #Hashem
