Reply To: Bothered by the Lakewood Matzav?

The problem with talking about tznius is that when you get into nitty-gritty discussions about what is and what is not tznius, you are giving a pesach to the yetzer, as discussions become “I saw this” and “what about this” etc.

Years ago there were not as many beis yaakovs as there are today. Many bochurim were lucky if the girl was shomer shabbos, never mind cover her hair kehilchesa. But halacha does require these areas to be covered. I would suggest learning the original sources before reading modern and somewhat controversial books like “Oz vehadar levusha”.
