Arso being mekarev yidden. See keser shem tov, see seforim hakdoahim – full of it.
See specifically the Sefer pokeach ivrim from the mitiler rebbe. How he instucts a Baal tshuvah how to act, and see the hakdama which has the story behind it that the alter rebbe – Baal hatanya told a big Talmud chacham to become a wagon driver, and that’s how he ended up being mikarev this yid (who was married to a non Jew)
I agree it was less commen being that there were much less non frum Jews.
And according to you it’s new, so…. Internet it also new, shaitels are also new, yeshiva movement is also new, brisker derech halimud is also new,
Tznius comments – nothing to add, as I said the same isur applys to staring at a finger of a women as any other part of her. Torah gave us halachos, and also teaches how to enforce them, when their was a Sanhedrin they killed for many aviros, gave malkos for many. Today we don’t have a Sanhedrin.
Lubavitcher rabbonim have their way of dealing with it (as far as I know, every summer they right about it in the halachos for the summer that comes out) they teach about it in education.
We way do different than others. Btw someone’s comment that less than a tefach of hair is ok, maybe reb Moshe held that way but everyone else argues. Chabad holds that even a drop of hair is an issue, and that’s why we have shaitels. There is mekoros in chazal that the yetzer hara is not in the shaitels – hair not connected to the body. (See שלחן מנחם). So maybe others hold different but our way is halachakly based. (Those who hold long shaitels are ok, I’m not saying all chabad rabbonim hold that way)
We can’t enforce things the way we feel. Many from the older generation thought to educate their kids a certain way – very strict and harsh, and today many see the outcome of those good intentions. Same thing with telling off people who are not tznius, you can search the internet and see some of the otd satmers who speak about it.
