I just thought to mention that the “old” rebbetzin of my city, meaning the one who used to live here, would always wear gloves (this was in the 50s-60s) so when men would try and shake her hands, she would not touch them directly. This was before my community became religious. It was actually due to Hashem sending us the this wonderful Rabbi and Rebbetzin that my community was able to grow into what it has become.
