a professional crisisMy main legal questions about Yom Kippur are these: 1. Does putting o ill l in my hair count as adornment (not product, just oil) 2. What about a necklace I literally never take off.
Ruth [☕️ 👩🏻💻📚✍🏻🧵🪡🍵]@serialscrisis my own take would be 1. yes, 2. no. Literally never take off being the thing... I only take off my wedding ring if in a pool/ocean or if handling raw meat and thus wouldn't dream of taking it off ever and thus it's not really adornment. I dunno. My own takes.
codewytch@platypus @serialscrisis if you literally never take off a ring it’s ok to leave it on in the mikveh because it’s considered part of your hand, idk about other jewelry but my ruling would be if you never take it off its part of you & not adornment.
@codewytch @serialscrisis ... I guess maybe the adornment interpretation is primarily why you wear it or what it's for. Like my wedding ring is a sign of commitment to me, not a jewelry (and I almost never wear other jewelry on my hands because I dislike rings)... so if Fleming's necklace is for pretty... or for something else, then maybe it does count after all, but if it's like "this is my brother's" or something then...
