Tznius - The Rebbe's Insights: Part 3

00:01 This is the in reference to the earlier installments where we discussed the Rebbe's insights on tznius, modestly dressing. We now continue with installment number three, discussing a yechidus, a private audience of a Hasid with the Rebbe, during which the Hasid inquired on the aspect of tznius. The Hasid asked the following question: What should the length of the dress be? The Rebbe answered as follows, as it is translated here in English: The longer, the better and more pleasing. I do not want to standardize a size as to how long it should be. Let the local rabbonim make the decision. One rav may require an additional centimeter, another may advise to add more centimeters, but in my opinion, it is definite that the minimum garment length while standing should not be less than while sitting. The knees will be fully covered. Not because a designer in France decided on a new dress style do Jewish girls need to adhere and follow it. Protess found another option. They wear a long but tight dress, and that brings about the parts of the body which provoke the yetzer hara very strongly are emphasized, and this simply needs to be stopped. This is end quote, the yechidus that the Hasid had by the Rebbe. It is printed in the weekly Hiskashrus number forty-eight, and this is the Rebbe's position in regards to tznius. We will im yirtzeh Hashem continue in the next installment.
