"Great joy, great joy, spring is here, Passover is coming," go the words to the only Passover song I know that isn't part of the Haggadah. And the coming of spring is indeed an occasion to celebrate. Spring is the season of rebirth, an opportunity to start all over again.

I agree with the author, many of our "Halacha" was developed in eras where women were either chattel or 2nd class citizens. Most of modern day l conveniences such as electricity, air travel, microwave cooking, computers 7 smart phones, just to mention a few did not exist. Many people live in urban areas far from the synagogues of their choice. It is imperative that the whole body oh Halacha and traditional practices be reviewed and brought into the 21st century.
thank you
