I don’t understand the frum world. Your grandparents and parents never advocated such nonsense as not allowing pictures of women in newspapers and magazines. Why, suddenly, is it such a bad thing?

Think about this: don’t you think it’s possible that all these chumras upon chumras against seeing any part of a woman are making women all that much more mysterious to the male public, and making those males even more eager to actually see what a woman looks like? Don’t you think that if women’s pictures could be displayed without question that the mystery aspect would disappear and then the mere sight of one of these pictures wouldn’t throw yeshiva bochurs into a tizzy? It would be no big deal.

One of these days it will be forbidden for men to read my comment because it will have been written by a woman.

Anyone who is so frum to start complaining about how untznius the Jewish Press is probably is violating their own principals and Rabbis right now by being on the internet which has such a higher potential to cause you harm than the JP.

We would really like to know about the so very frum people who complain on here about things which are not against Halacha, just against their Chumras, and dare to be on the internet when so many Ravs have spoken against it unless it is for work and if anyone is reading or posting on here it is definitely not about work.

Wow. All that happened here was that a person observed something that disagreed with his morals values and concerned, he wrote in about it. Who cares if it was shabbos or he has heard of People?? What kind of “People” would make such harmful comments about a fellow Jew theyhave never even met??
Instead of bringing unity and support to the floor, all it did was stir up nasty feelings people have toward one another.
This guy holds a certain level of modesty should be standardized in the observant- (I won’t say religious because I will either be torn apart for not being religious enough or knocked down for being too religious) -community. Instead of people respecting him as an adult and fellow Jew, his statements spiraled into this feeding frenzy of “where are you sources”"modern orthodox”"close minded ultra orthodox” and so on. And tznius is our biggest problem??? I understand that there are many different sects, levels, and halachic standards throughout our Jewish society. Everyone is attacking each other’s belief systems. I don’t know what the outcome of A.T. observation was supposed to be, but this was NOT it. I have never seen more hatred within our community. You all have different views of religious observance. That’s fine and OK. However, this dreck posted up by most of you has nothing to do with religion. In fact, it should never, ever, EVER, be associated with being a Jew. I may not know everything about the Torah or Judaism. I do know one thing though- Your wasted words are VERY FAR from Torah and is NOT Judaism on any level. As a Jew, you all should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves. I know I am.

So now the Jewish Press is a “Crisis”? If we are suffering from anything that has reached crisis proportions, it is probably an identity crisis.

There hasnt been much of anything “jewish” about that rag in ages! They were the ones to “report” news about 750,000 year old sunflower seeds found in E”Y! That is total k’fira!

#98 you are a hundred percent right I am sorry and would like to apologize to anyone who might have been offended. It was wrong to stereotype like that. Once again, I am truly sorry.
