Reply To: Tznius Support Group PLEASE WOMEN ONLY, even reading

But then, what happened to what I learned in my very religious HS? So, I spoke to my LOR and he explained to me that there is Das Moshe and also something called Das Yehudis. And re: covering hair, it is more like the d’rabanan aspect of the mitzvah. As a moshol, in kashrus we don’t eat milk and meat together, but the rabbonim also added fowl to the restriction. Das Moshe is d’Oraisah and may have a more basic requirement, which is extended by Das Yehudis.

Bottom line, SJS, other than checking with your medical doctor about the headaches that you get when wearing any type of head covering, maybe it would be a good idea for you to check with your Rav, as there may be room to be maykil with a medical condition.

Also, I want to re-post a question that I asked above, but may have gotten overlooked due to lag in mod post approval:

oomis1105 & everyone: Something wrong with actually using the word “Tznius”? Too nerdy? Too goody-goody sounding? Too holier-than-thou?

I’m not being sarcastic. I really want to know. What’s wrong with using the word tznius?
