edited to add - you can pour liquid soap and shampoo on your body | Who said Judaism isn't evolving? It is! Standards have changed. It's no longer acceptable socially to walk around reeking to high heavens. And Rabbanim, working within the framework of halacha, have ways of making life more pleasant for us and those around us. Judaism isn't here to punish us. It's a living religion that eventually keeps up with the times. Shuly, thanks for posting. I was SURE that the fancy Chareidi ladies I know would not walk around without a shower for three days; I just didn't know what they could rely on to get that shower. Once a Rav gives a stamp of approval, it's a free-for-all!

if washing my hands is allowed, what is wrong with washing the rest of my body? I don't take showers, (al;though I know it is allowed) but I do wash myself.
as for me the first things I did were: turn on dishwasher, put on laundry, make havdala, and heat up some leftover roast.

Raisin - it's not the same, washing your entire body.
But, yes, you are allowed to shower under certain conditions - consult Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchasa or your LOR (yes, we showered).

Why do you have to even wet your hair when you shower if you are a woman (and especially if you cover your hair?) I shower on yuntif, rinse off with water and very liquidy soap, from the neck down. I do not wash my face in the shower but rather at the sink, I wash the back of my neck and the front of my neck but wear a shower cap and my hair never gets wet. It's not a problem to shower at pi din at least on yuntif, so I was always taught...

yes, I don't wash my hair every day anyway so not washing my hair really does not bother me. My body however is a different story.

I feel terribly gross if I dont wash my hair often so my chag would and is ruined if I dont wash it.

To get back to the original question...
If I was in NY, I would still be in 770 for a good while after Y"T was out, at the Farbrengen, which I absolutely love attending -you leave the Y"T on such a spiritual high...but this year I'm not there, I'm in Europe, so when Shabbos was over, after finishing a heated discussion on chinuch in today's days (conclusion: 99% siyata dishmaya and 1% your Tehillim!), I showered, fed my baby, and heard Havdala, before eating a good meal before the fast tomorrow.

Growing up in Israel, my parents didn't shower and it was disgusting. I used to sneak a shpritz - everyone else showered. This is NOT simchat chag. |
now I relly dont want to preach/bash etc anyone here, but just wondering.... do u also drive to shul on yomtov cos it relly wouldnt be simchas chag to walk all the way uphill to get there, or turn on lights that went off cos simchas hachag is def not sitting in the dark???
hope I dont come across too strong- just the reply sounded like u decide wat constitutes ur simchat hacag. just seriously wondering if MO pick and choose wat is simchat hachag or if u find out if its kehalacha? |
Why check Imamother, of course... 
Ef, you are picking and chooisng too. My Rov just gave a long Shab Shuva drosha, about always judging a fellow yid lchaf zcus and never hurting someone's feelings. Thats min ha Torah.. Even driving on Yom Tov, might only be a dRobonim..

Unplugged the plata, turned off the AC and a bunch of lights, bathed kids (one of them was bathed on yom tov, but the rest were not) and cut my nails.

Put cream on my chapped hands. Ran out of vinyl disposable gloves on Yom Tov and my hands got sore from washing dishes!
I sort of get foggy and run down motzei Shabbos and never get much done. My kids are sleeping, so I eat, check imamother, spend time with dh.....and the next morning take care of dishes, toys and mess.
But I absolutely envy those of you that quickly wash the dishes, floors and bathrooms and wake up to a fresh house. YUM.

You are allowed to wash up to almost half of your body total with warm water, otherwise you need cold.
As for me, I couldn't wait to tweeze.

To clarify, one may not wash half the body with warm water and then the other half, it's total. While doing so, you should wear an article of clothing to remind you not to shower your whole body. Tht's while using warm water. You may use cold running water on your whole body (with the exception of washing your hair).
