It has been completely misused over the past few years, to the point that no one knows what it really means. <br /><br />Just because I decide a certain length is proper for me doesn't mean if someone is wearing something shorter makes them irreligious. <br /><br />"Modesty," in the end, is relative.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855444551988658033.post-67828814989976258052012-03-15T12:59:20.968-07:002012-03-15T12:59:20.968-07:00Good answer, Debbie!

Clearly, I am, as that is the whole point of my blog. But it really is ok if someone else's interpretation of the halachot of modesty is different from my own.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647731611487128975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855444551988658033.post-31148178963421347262012-03-15T12:48:48.769-07:002012-03-15T12:48:48.769-07:00Clear-cut is a pretty strong term. Clear-cut it is...Clear-cut is a pretty strong term. Clear-cut it is not. There's the Torah first and foremost, and then there is the shulchan aruch. Rabbis were more than happy to freely "interpret" their ideas of modesty, so to say that it's "clear-cut" is a bit extreme. The only mandate here is the Torah. Interpretation seems to be the "clear-cut" you are referring to, and that would be the guideline I refer to.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647731611487128975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855444551988658033.post-39832470683298142102012-03-15T11:56:26.409-07:002012-03-15T11:56:26.409-07:00I'm not sure you're right:
If you choose ...I'm not sure you're right:<br /> If you choose to cover your elbows, cover your knees, and heck, wear tights, then power to ya sister. But if you don't, that's fine too. Honestly.<br /><br />There are certain clear-cut halachos in Shulchan Aruch. How is that "not a mandate?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
