Aren't ultra Orthodox Jews not allowed to touch women as they may be "unclean"? Don't they have to cover their wives with a sheet just to reproduce?
I remember the Orthodox Rabbi coming into the music store I used to manage. The boss, a non Orthodox Jewish woman in her 70's would always extend her hand to him and he'd always step back from her. She'd say "Honey, I'm well past all that at my age" but he'd still refuse to touch her.
She explained the "rules" to me once and I couldn't help but think how odd such customs are in today's day and age.
