For a number of years there were a group of women who went fro city to city in ERetz Yisrael putting on a play to be michzek women in tznius. What was the play about? A women who was a tzeadkes, careful in shimras Halosheon,sent her husband to learn, raised her children in ahavas Torah, was tznu, didn’t wear a shatiel only tichel. When she dies she came to bais Din shel maala, and because she used to sing while she bakes, she was sentanced to kaf hakelah. Than her grandmother comes and her zechus she comes backa s a gilgul. This play was seen by many women, what was their reactions?
If she was so good and she was going to get kaf hakelah, what about me, forget it!
I took the play and changed it from negative to posotive, because she did something small and was carefull she was rewarded greatly in shamyim, The reaction- real change- women felt empowered to make a difference in the world, by making sure my skirt cover my knees I am bringing more kedusha into my home , my city the whole world, I am providing Hashem a place to rest his shechina. If the vaad hatznius would speak encouragingly to women, show them what amazing things they are doing by covering their hair, I think this would motivatie a lot of women to be more careful, and it does, i’ve seen it over and over again.
