@Shokhet Is question #2 a duplicate? I'm not so sure. Although perhaps the question should be reversed, since it is essentially trivial that this applies to Jewish women, whereas the applicability of לא תקרבו vis-a-vis a non-Jew is perhaps non-trivial. – Fred Feb 16 '15 at 19:32

@Fred I'm not sure. There been some discussion if duplicate parts of a question should be edited out or not. – MTL Feb 16 '15 at 19:49

@Shokhet why would you want to take out the non-duplicate part and make it a duplicate? Instead, take out the duplicate part and make it a non-duplicate question. – Y e z Feb 16 '15 at 20:40

@YeZ Check the time stamps of the comments against the revision history. Revision 2 was made between my second and third comments here. – MTL Feb 16 '15 at 21:02

@Shokhet I actually looked too quickly - I had thought you removed the non-dupe line. – Y e z Feb 16 '15 at 21:36

If this question is meant specifically regarding whether a man may shake a woman's hand, please [edit] the question to make that clear. Don't forget that women are as bound by Halacha as men are. – Isaac Moses Feb 17 '15 at 04:02
