To those who question the emphasis on tznius (which, to the best of my knowledge, wasn’t mentioned ONCE during the levaya): This is the only sin where H’ says He will turn away from us r”l. ???? ????? ???? ??? ???? ?? ???? ??? ??? ??????.

This is the first tragedy since I joined the CR where I see so many posters feeling that H’ has turned away from us. “I’m so angry. How could He do it?” This year is also the first in my life that I’m seeing frum women and girls wearing tank tops without shame (some with beige clothing underneath!) and very long, flouncy shaitels that make them look like streetwalkers.

I’m not claiming to be H’s secretary, I’m just reading a pasuk in the Torah. There are countless cheshbonos why it had to be Leiby z”l and his family; and pritzus is, unfortunately, not the only aveira of our generation. But I feel we have reached a terribly new low this year davka in this area; not in lashon hora, not in machlokes or other aveiras, but davka in this sin where H’ warns us that He will turn away from us. We need to make a sincere cheshbon hanefesh without negios. May we be zoche to see the first part of the pasuk:
