DY: The Ribbono Shel OLam cares more about the Hashkafa of the matter than the pure Halacha. Look at any Navi and you will see that is the case.
Unfortunately, I have been hearing the term to “Jew” someone is to “trick” them into something that would then not need to be followed under strict Halacha or contract law, all in the name of “following halacha”, but not with the Hashkafic aspects of Yashrus and V’Ahavta ‘Lerayacha Kamocha in mind. There was actually a Mishpacha article last week about this, where a “frum” guy sold his home to another frum guy, but was convinced by the buyer not to get a lawyer’s contract, as they are two “frum” guys. Huge mistake. It is becoming more and more common in the business world to know to never trust an Orthodox Jew.
Specifically here, following the letter of Tznius without the spirit (to get dressed up before men so they can stare at her) IS in fact against Das Yehudis, as I pointed out earlier in the thread (as FNY said as well).
