On behalf of the klal:
Summer is around the corner and already the heat kicked in, with the sticky weather, I would like to ask a request from every person;male and female, there is something called PROPER HYGIENE.
When everyone is having a great time playing in the sun and enjoying the warm weather, people tend to forget they sweat more and for kavod habrios, its not bekavodik to walk around smelling up the streets.
So please, again, on behalf of the klal, please take extra care of yourself when you enjoy the summer heat!
Some tips:
* shower atleast once a day.
* deoderant is very essential atleast twice a day.
* brush teeth more regularly.
Looking forward to a refreshing summer.

Another VITAL point about summer is to remind all to insure that everyone must be give their utmost care in insuring the proper Tzinius befitting and demanded of Klal Yisroel.
June 17, 2008 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm #879732ShlockDocMemberThis needs to be posted because showering once a day and putting on deodorant during the non-summer months is out of the question?
June 17, 2008 5:27 pm at 5:27 pm #879733KlerrMemberMy Rebbe once said that we should shower two times for every slice of keegel that we eat on Shabbis. Barich Hashem I shower a lot. I always shower eriv shabbis. I also go to the mikve every day so I am pretty good smellin. Everyone should make sure to wash their feet well after being toivel. Barich Hashem the mikvas are mutch cleaner than in the old days.I dont really use deoderint 2 times a day like the poster before me sujests. Ihope that its ok.
June 17, 2008 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm #879734lgbgMemberJosephf:
no problem, i just hope people actually do something about it. and regarding the tniyus, your 100% right about that.
Klerr:
thanks for making the world smell like a better place.
June 17, 2008 6:55 pm at 6:55 pm #879735JosephParticipantKlerr, I’m sorry, but we will need to refer your case to the YW committee on hygiene for failue to twice daily deodorize!
But your daily mikvah habit is a mitigating factor, and so we will all forgive you!
June 18, 2008 3:35 am at 3:35 am #879736williMembergood point. By the way, some people think that if they wear perfume they can skip deodorant but they’re obviously wrong.. (in yiddish it’s called oiven pitz inten shmitz)
June 18, 2008 6:23 am at 6:23 am #879737JosephParticipantwilli, I presume in your comment about using perfume, you are referring to women…

oomis, not a problem with me, as long as you live far, far away from me (jk)
April 30, 2009 5:10 am at 5:10 am #879747JaxMemberha i remember reading in the summer & there were tons of posts telling all to wear deodorant & shower a lot!
April 30, 2009 6:34 am at 6:34 am #879748aussieboyParticipantI realize everyone is making jokes about it but this isnt a joke. Just remember (especially all you from new york) if you take public transportation there are nonjewish people there too, and it can cause a major chillul hashem. (Although basic hygiene should be enough of a reason to take showers every day and wear deoderant.)
April 30, 2009 2:59 pm at 2:59 pm #879749areivimzehlazehParticipantaussie- I use public transportation all the time. More often than not, it’s the goyim that need these hygiene reminders…
June 14, 2012 1:15 am at 1:15 am #879752moishyParticipantBump just in time for the summer!!
June 14, 2012 4:32 am at 4:32 am #879753oomisParticipantThis entire thread stinks.
June 14, 2012 8:23 am at 8:23 am #879754takahmamashParticipantIn addition to regularly showering and using deodorant, I would say the next important step is to wash your clothing regularly, especially in the spring and summer.
June 14, 2012 9:11 pm at 9:11 pm #879755smartcookieMemberDeoderant AT LEAST twice a day? Isn’t this more like OCD?
June 15, 2012 12:37 am at 12:37 am #879756SayIDidIt™Participantommis, thanks for the laugh!
