10:33 pm: Do Your Part!

Here's a list of the tznius hachlatos that have been taken on by women who are hoping that the yeshiva boys in Japan will be released or given a light sentence. I am happy to say I am doing my part; the items in bold are ones I will plan to be extra-careful about.

Since we have started this Tznius campaign we have seen incredible siyata dishmaya in easing the plight of the prisoners somewhat. Let the merit of your kabalah give rise to the ultimate release of our children, and may the collective zechus of Tznius improvement,
result in the geulah shleima for all of Klal Yisroel, amen.

♦ Sheitel is refined [within parameters of halacha] and does not attract
attention.
♦ Refrain from wearing excessive make-up and perfume in
any public areas.
♦ Refrain from wearing attractive or excessive jewelry in
any public areas
Refrain from brisk-walking as a form of exercise.
♦ Refrain from eating/drinking in public areas, especially
where men are present.
♦ Skirt is at least four inches past the knee.
♦ Neckline properly adjusted in all clothing.
♦ Turban/tichel covering all hair at all times during the day.
♦ Secular newspapers and all fashion magazines kept out of
the house.
♦ When in public, [street, stores, buses, waiting rooms,] Cell phones
vibrate silently and phone conversations are kept short and
quiet [out of earshot of bystanders]
♦ Shoes/heels/ fitted with a rubber sole.
♦ Exercising discreet and low-key behavior in a shared sitting area.
[apartment building lobby, doctor’s office, chasuna hall, shul mechitzah, bus stops, standing in line at
checkout counters etc.
♦ Learning Hilchos Tznius daily. [Inspire by Wire – 718-906-6451, or ' עוז והדר לבושה ' according to the daily
calendar provided free of charge by: Bnos Melochim 845-425-9222]
♦ Refrain from brisk-walking in a public area.
Your undertaking will provide us with the strength and stamina we so desperately need at this time.
We cannot adequately express our appreciation to all who are accepting upon themselves to enhance
their current Tznius standards so that our children can have hope to see the light of freedom again.


I'm quite good about not brisk-walking in public. Everything else, not so much I guess. How about you? Which tznius resolutions are you taking upon yourself? Will you keep all secular newspaper and fashion magazines out of your home? Or will you make sure all your conversations in public are short and quiet? Maybe not eat/drink in public areas when men are present? I especially like that one.
