Is gender separation a problem in your place of worship?

Is gender separation a problem in places of worship? Nomia asks after a mosque in the USA faced a backlash for holding an opening ceremony without any women.

Is gender separation a problem in your place of worship? We're asking this after a mosque in the USA faced backlash for holding an opening ceremony without any women. A community member vented her frustration on social media and called the exclusion "discrimination against women and young girls". After that Nomia is joined by this week's guru, relationship expert Veba Ramphal. She's live in the studio to answer all your questions on dating, marriage and more. And today marks 70 years since the state of Israel was declared - a turning point for Jewish people after the Holocaust. For Palestinians, this day is referred to as Nakba or catastrophe. Nomia, on a recent trip to Israel, spoke to four women from different backgrounds on what it's like to live in the country.
