Kol Hakavod for doing something about it!

I guess there ARE frum girls out there who care!!

When I first noticed the style of short skirts here in Israel, I was totally shocked. Girls that I knew to be really frum were wearing skirts that are sooo obviously against halacha! I mean, you could argue that you don’t approve of certain styles and stuff, but anyone religious could tell you skirts above the knee are out!

Being that I live in Israel, styles seem to filter down here slowly and I personally don’t feel the need to wear short skirts, but since I’m not that ancient yet, I remember struggling with the need to look good and tzanua at the same time, and I’m sure if I lived in America now, I’d be struggling with you. But I remember shopping with my mom and arguing with her that the outfit I wanted is okay, since it covers my knees and elbows…

But please try to keep your priorities straight. I don’t know if you’re in shidduchim or whatever, but you should know that a couple of guys in shidduchim have commented to my husband that they want girls that look good but dress tzanua, and specifically mentioned girls that cover their knees! and anyway, don’t you want a home that is run by Halacha? Imagine yourself telling your kid that you want them to do, I don’t know, something Jewish,say, that they can’t turn on lights on Shabbos, and them turning to you and saying, “But we also learnt in school that you need to cover our knees …”while staring at your knees.

Where will it end? If we cannot keep a blatant Halacha, what about other stuff, that people cannot see?

Well, thanx for letting me vent, and I hope I wasn’t too harsh, but this topic really hurts me, I guess cuz it’s so close to home.

You are a future mother of Jewish children. How do you want them to look??

Remember that and throw out that skirt quickly, and then go out and buy a Slurpee to celebrate!!
