Just recently, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yonah Metzger, publicly raised the issue of married woman who continue to use their maiden names, in both formats, either independently or hyphenated after their husband’s family name. He came under much criticism for doing so.
This is what the Chief Rabbi said: “We are currently in an era of permissiveness and there are many messages that create cracks in the Jewish home’s whole structure. The agenda whereby a woman wants to bring the independent entity of her last name to the home should be reconsidered. If there is a message that the woman is an independent entity and the husband is an independent entity, this does not unite the home into a whole home.”
There is no denying that amongst Chabad-Lubavitch young woman, this has become a very popular and ever growing trend.

BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — “In Chabad nothing changed,” said the former President of Israel Zalman Shazar to a reporter the morning following of his two audiences and participation in the Chassidic gathering with the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, “they greeted me with the same parade and the same love as when I was president.”
Shazar said this in contrast to the way others had greeted the former president since he stepped down from his presidency. “In most places he has already been forgotten,” wrote the paper, “he is already not the President.”
“The true friends,” said Shazar, “did not stop coming and conferring with me.”
