		<description>I appreciate your approach to posing the questions. Very enlightening. I think that side-by-side &quot;ask the rabbi&quot; replies are a gas. 

The Aish guy is a moron. The permission to accept a handshake is not just because of the issue of not embarassing someone else. Frumchiks embarass others all the time. It is because, as he knows perfectly well, shelo b&#039;derech chibah (not lustful touching) is not covered by dinnei negiah. Face it, we live in a society where we are pretty well educated on the difference between a hot-hug and just a hug. When the president gives a widow at gravesite a hug, do we have any trouble watching it and knowing whether he is hitting on her. Frankly, I know of virtually no lustful handshakes I have gotten in my whole life.</description>
