Many women have online jobs and work from home, although this setup often causes the blurring of boundaries, and we all know the dangers of having Internet at home. Still, taking office space is a luxury many cannot afford.
I wonder if we could find donors who would provide subsidized Internet offices for women who prefer to work outside the home. It’s a very worthwhile cause — it’s an investment in the homes of Klal Yisrael with real-time benefits — and doesn’t have to entail a great expense. Having frum-women-only offices means there are no compromises in home standards, the women feel comfortable, and there’s a clear delineation between work and family.
Sounds like something that could work.
Clearly, the Internet, with all its advantages and disadvantages, is not only here to stay, but is currently the modus operandi for most businesses and organizations. This is a reality, and the frum community has no choice but to meet this challenge head-on. While there is no perfect solution to this challenge, there is no lack of creativity within our community, and creative solutions have often succeeded in enabling us to work with difficult realities.
