Reply To: How to increase Tzinius

Pashuteh –

There is no “acid crisis.” A lunatic fringe is just that, and no more. If you had an asifa after every lunatic incident, you’d never be done finding different lunacies someone somewhere did. An asifa is for something that is prevalent and should not be. As much as you’d like to find fault with Bnei Torah, acid throwing is not an activity, thank G-d, that often happens.

At least you admit you are in denial about the tzinius crisis. Once you open your eyes it will not be difficult to see. Eating in McDonalds and driving on Shabbos, if it even exists in frum communities, is another fringe lunacy. Yes there is a tzinius crisis in Lakewood, Boro Park, Faltbush, and many other frum communities in town (i.e. NY) and out of town.

The choizek you make, is of Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky, Rav Ephraim Wachsman, Rav Mattisyahu Solomon et. al. all of whom found there to be a tzinius crisis, called the asifa and determined to take action regarding the tzinius crisis with a vaad hatzinius, etc.

And then you wonder why some people refer to you as being “pro-freikeit”? When you make choizek of Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky, Rav Ephraim Wachsman, Rav Mattisyahu Solomon et. al. with your pathetic jokes about them being wrong and there is no tzinius crisis, that is the road it leads you to.
