Do you know it's only us that has a issue with this the ones involved don't they feel priviliged.
The same for the Neturei karte who shave their heads etc it's only us that have this problem.
Kava Yochel the non jews feel that we Jewish women are treated as second class .
As long as we r convinced our ways r right noone can change or make us feel inferior.
We feel sometimes same with sefardim who do things differently how do those women feel.
And in most part they are happy and content if there are issues it's coming from something else, and these differences are being used as an excuse

I wanted to know that as well, how the kallah feels. I am sure that she feels the kavod of being in the presence of a Gadol, but doesnt she also possibly feel embarrased? I ask this out of interests to know, not because I think there is anything wrong with her standing there, I thought that the mtzvah tanz was absolutely beautiful. its just, to my mind, interesting, that such girls are brought up not looking at boys and boys not looking at girls and then she is in the center of the entire wedding, she must have some embarassed feelings.
and also, you mean to tell me, mindy, that you think that ALL of those men are looking at the rebbe? I would LOVE to give them, each and every one, the benifit of the doubt, but I dont think that they are all looking JUST at the rebbe.
Don't forget, these girls spend their whole lives expecting to have that moment. For (most of) us, it's new and unusual, but she's probably seen it before and knows exactly what to expect.
I've seen one mitzvah tantz. It was nice. ONce was enough, though.

but even if she is expecting this her whole life, it doesnt mean that she is ok with being in the center of things. hey, I knew that getting married meant being on display (the chupah). it was something that we all know our whole lives, but I have to tell you that the whole time I was standing there I was SOOOOOOOO self consious and embarrased b/c I felt like I was on display.

Mitzva tantz is not something new. All great rebbes danced to be mesameach the kallah. If you grow up with it, it is something you are comfortable with.
Dancing with my father was a very emotional part of my wedding day.
Dancing with my chosson was a beautiful end to a beautiful day.

Tefillah, Are you sure? Why in the world would they think that, that's funny. If anything I'd think they're rather second class especially according to the Christian religion(never mind the Muslim religion).

wow that was amazing to watch! and to how the kallah felt, I'm sure they all feel differently of course, but I do know some girls in that situatation that were totally embarrased.
