Addition[edit]

I added to this page. I translated from the hebrew 217.132.167.49 21:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of Yichud[edit]

The first sentence of this article is confusing. Literally, Yichud does not mean "prohibition of seclusion"; it means "seclusion". This is why when couples seclude themselves after a wedding, it is called a Yichud. However, the Law dealing with proper behavior between unmarried women and men is usually not referred to as "prohibition of Yichud", but simply, "Yichud". Hence the confusion. Can someone who knows more about this than me edit this accordingly? Perhaps they could explain the differences in usage.

some time ago the name of the artile was just "yichud" I don't know when or who changed it, but I think that is should be changed back. Jon513 19:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Sources[edit]

On August 7, 2008, an anonymous editor added a number of paragraphs to this article. To this editor: thank you very much for your contributions. It would be helpful if you would provide one or more sources for the Halachos cited. Also, why not register, so you can get the appropriate credit for your contributions?

The section on Laws cites no sources. This is especially problematic when there may exist differing opinions withing the halachic system.Joe407 (talk) 09:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed the whole section of laws. Without sources people have no way of knowing what is universally accepted, disputed, or not in practice. Please add laws and other detailed information only with sources. Joe407 (talk) 10:23, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joe407, There aren't "…differing opinions withing the halachic system…" There is the application of the "…halachic system…" and the in-application of halacha. The article is obviously about this particular halachic precept. Anyone is free to be nonobservant. Much of Wikipedia is unsourced. In my opinion you removed good material that is on-topic. Please leave it up tentatively until knowledgeable editors can provide sources. Your reason given for removing that material is problematic, in my opinion. Clearly Judaism exists on a spectrum from nonobservance to observance. This article is on a topic that the conservative (non-liberal) end of the spectrum will be punctilious about observing. A reason for removing the details of this halacha should not be that the liberal end of the spectrum pays it little heed.

I've restored that material. Please don't remove it prematurely. Let there be wider discussion of all aspects of it, especially in light of the present motion to delete the article. Bus stop (talk) 18:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joe. I am almost 99% sure that the whole section can be source to the shulchan aruch (even ha'ezer 22). Would you want every single sentence to start will "according to the Shuchan Aruch"? Jon513 (talk) 19:51, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems inappropriate for that ever to have been removed. Its not as if anyone disputed the actual gist of it, sourced or no. If it really couldn't be verified, and was suspected to be original research, why did no-one first tag it as suspected original research? If it had been here yesterday lunchtime I wouldn't have AfD'd the article. Newman Luke (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if I made a bigger deal out of it than was warranted. Bus stop (talk) 19:53, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Niddah[edit]

The article contained an error, there is no prohibition of yichud with a niddah, unless she is an unconsumated bride. Otherwise it would be forbidden to be in yichud with one's own wife, and one of the parents would be required to move for two weeks each month. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.219.195 (talk) 01:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz[edit]

This has no connection with the article. I think someone was trying to be comical. It's inappropriate to illustrate a serious issue, adultery, with a lady miming, "Shhh...". (By "inappropriate" I mean it hurts my feelings.) Will someone please remove this photo and the caption. Thank you. Labellesanslebete (talk) 10:11, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
