“Was the lesson taught by the Gemara [Yoma 47a] which relates that Kimchis had 7 sons who became High Priests because she was so modest that “the beams of her house never saw the hairs of her head” (She would always keep her hair covered even in the privacy of her own home) lost”
Forgive me if I am mistaken, and by all means PLEASE correct me, but I was under the impression that it was KIMCHIS HERSELF who when asked why her children were so special, said that her exceedingly beautiful children were the reward for the beams of her house never seeing a single hair. If I am not mistaken, then it’s well and good for her to believe that about herself, but it really is nothing more than her personal conjecture.
The Gemarah clearly is teaching an ideeology that women should be tzniusdig, but this story, like many stories, is meant to illustrate a point, not to be taken as a p’sak halacha, I would think.
