[net.religion.jewish] honeymoons, again

mjb@npoiv.UUCP (Martha Laferriere) (09/19/85)

Several weeks ago someone (J.Martillo ?) mentioned that honeymoons
are frowned upon by Orthodoxy. I aksed for an explanation over the
net, but NOONE took the time or energy to illuminate this issue.
I am really very interested in the reasons for disapproving of the
custom of honeymooning. Since we have so many theological experts
who regularly contribute to net.religion.jewish, of every
degree of observance, and also so many students of Jewish history
and culture, could one of you out there comment on the
theological and/or cultural problems with honeymoons.

   Summer was a slow season on the net; the Sephardic/Ashkenazi
tournaments seem to be suspended (when does the season open again?),
so maybe someone could comment on the honeymoon issue.
