Reply To: Increase in OTD Children… are made to feel like second-class citizens,

Not everyone agrees that the elbows and knees must be covered. Everyone agrees that the area above the elbows and knees must be covered. The elbows and knees themselves are a matter of dispute. Also, there are those that say that because “Tefach B’ishah Ervah”, you are allowed 3 inches above your elbow (I’ve never heard anyone use that for knees though). These might not be at all accepted opinions, but to say that everyone agrees that elbows and knees must be covered is a bit of a stretch.
