To SelichosGenendel-
Tznius is a very very important issue. I have three concerns about what you said:
1) Chumros (stringencies) and good policies must not be confused with halocha. Starting with the eitz ha’da’as (Tree of Knowledge) passing a chumra off as a halocha has caused a lessening of observance. There is no halocha that skirts must be 4 inches below the knee.
2) Rabbonim don’t have the ability to successfully decree those policies which they wish they could. If the rabbonim were able to fix Klal Yisroel’s issues by fiat, it would be wonderful. However, we all know that it doesn’t work that way.
3) We have to be very concerned about depriving a child of his Yiddishkeit because of his parents’ issues. Many of the leading rabbonim and roshei yeshiva would have been deprived of a Torah education if this had been the practice in Klal Yisroel. Out of respect for these Talmidei Chachomim we don’t publicize their background, but I know that many wonderful tzaddikim did not come from families that would pass muster nowadays.
