Interesting Psak: Male Sinners Teaching Women

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
It was only a matter of time, considering how extreme ultra-orthodox Judaism has become over time, and especially in recent years...

Someone asked Rav Bentzion Mutzafi how he can get started in giving shiurim to women. He was looking for direction. It was not even a halachic question - just saying what he intended to do and asking for some direction.
Rav Mutzafi responded that it is completely prohibited for a male lecturer to lecture in front of women, and he is a sinner for doing so, as the Torah says "do not stray..and after your eyes". They should have a female lecturer who will prepare a week in advance with midrashim, mussar, and words of Chazal, and she should present them to the women.

I don't think this needs any further comment...
