Can someone bring a source for this idea that if a women dresses in modest, he suffers in gehenom for all those who looked at her? What if he dresses tznius are men still look at her does she also suffer for not dressing in a way that no one would look at her – like the Arabs, or is she punished for leaving her house – כל כבודה בת מלך פנימה, or does the fact that she’s working to support her husband and children learning justify her being in the street?
Men have bechira chafshin to look at women. The alter rebbe says in Tanya perek 30 or 31, even if someone needs to work on the street he is a rasha if he doesn’t control where he looks, reb Moshe feinsten has a tshuva that says if someone can’t control himself looking at women, he should stay home. So this idea that the women are machsil the men – it’s belongs. As if chabad is the only community with not tznius women, Williamsburg are borough park and lakewood are all full of non Jews, do you not go to the airport? and if you all really so careful and your only issue is crown heights so Don’t come to crown heights if you can’t control yourself. Anyway you should stay away from “kofrim”
back to learning chassidus, someone claimed before the chozon ish learned Kabalah, I guess everyone agrees we should learn Kabalah.
