SJS you wrote in response to 13ikrim, “After all shivim Panim L’Torah. But just to clarify, can you please explain to me how the jewish women of the past,(for example, those who wandered the Midbar) did so without stockings and shoes, and just wore sandals?
SJS, I think the women back then wore really long robes, so no part of their bare legs were showing. Maybe their feet were peeking through their sandals.
