Reply To: Tznius

Bemused and Squeak: I get your drift. I might give it a try, if I feel comfortable doing so.

But I still feel there is a place to decrying a lack of tznius in a general way and in an open forum such as this. As you can see there is also a confusion as to what is and what is not actual halacha when it comes to tznius. For example, I posted that a prominent Rav in Brooklyn pasken that wearing socks/stockings to cover ones feet/legs is not a minhag but a must l’halachah. Then Ames kindly asked her Rav this question regarding the Sephardic community, and you see the reaction it has gotten. Pashute Yid paskened from the Mishne Brura that socks are optional, and Truthsharer negated Ame’s psak in one sentence!

Obviously, there needs to be clarity here, and complimenting my neighbor on a tzniusdik skirt is not going to mitigate that need.

BTW, thank you for taking time to post something thoughtful – both considerate and well-thought-out.
