Reply To: Frum advertising

oomis, to define my idea of Tzinus, it is to be modest, in your actions, speech, dress & also in your home furnishing etc. It means also not being is someones face. If you want to show a room that has 2 kings sized beds, kol hakovod. But my feeling is that if the publications are makpid not to show any women’s face in their magazine, because it is not Tznius, then showing one king sized bed in a master bedroom, which is what they were advertising, then that is not Tzniusdig.

I asked a friend of mine what she thought of that advertisement.

She started crying! She is having Parnosa problems, lives in a home that is comparable to slum dwellings. She said that she reads these publications on Shabbos to relax & try to forget her Tzoros, but it was ” in her face” what is out there & what she is lacking. She said that it caused discord in her Shalom Bayis, because of their financial lack. Is that what we want to cause, strife in Klal Yisroel. Yes, there has always been the Haves & the Have nots, but for thoses who don’t have, shouldn’t the haves curtail showing off their gifts from Hashem when it hurts others?
