[...] Y-Love from Jewlicious spotted a super-modest woman in Borough Park: For the first time, I saw one of the followers of veil advocate Rabbanit Bruria Keren decked out in hijab sal and abaya…in Boro Park, walking down 13th Avenue with her friend, chatting and schmoozing in frumspeak. [...]

While the rest of the jewish world is doing a bang up job emulating the western humantic democratic atheistic feministic clothing and behavior, a small few number of women want to emulate Sarah Rivka Rachel and Leah our Mothers, and jews down throguh the centuries until recent times. Read up on your jewish history, and you will see that our Mothers of from 60 to 130 years ago (depending on the country) would not have recognized the kosher jewish woman of today as being their spiritual descendants. Walking around with plunging necklines and clothing stuck to their bodies, poodlish wigs and tonnes of makeup and perfume, and these the religious ones! So scoff and throw your ignorant words at those who fear sin. You are fulfilling one of the signs of Messianic times from the Gemara, “those who fear sin will be reviled”.
Kol HaKavod that there are 100 woman in the enire jewish world that dont bow to the goyish norms of present day frumkite!

this has got be a Purim Prank because if the new way to “out frum” everybody is to wear this, they’d be in sporting it in Plifton right now…the frum contest is on hot and heavy here.

I’d rather see my daughters in Daisy Dukes and lovin’ the impure thoughts they are stimulating than in this “creative reinterpretation”.

And by the way, the reason Arab men love having sex with other Arab men so much is because their women look like that.

Are you absolutely sure this wasn’t an Arab woman? You were close enough to her/she was speaking loudly enough for you to hear what she was saying?
There are a lot of actual Arabs living right there, not just Jews who portray them on t.v.

Once again Jews emulating the lowest common denominator. How embarrassing for us.

… I don’t see what’s wrong. If “progressive” Jews can “creatively reinterpret” Jewish practices, throwing over Halachic process, why can’t these gals?

That’s the stringency-mongering’s ultimate – and most harmful effect: it eventually divorces Jewish practice from Halachic norms and process, just as surely as revisionism does.

According to Halacha, both men and women are allowed to bare their faces, necks, and lower arms and legs. And both men and women should cover their torsos, shoulders/upper arms, and thighs.

Anything else is non-Halachic – either a stringency (chumra) or a custom (minhag). But not normative Halacha.

I've been debating what to don for Purim. Todah Y-Love for the covert advocacy! Napkin-Regalia=Tiel Burqa, how novel! As long as Prince Harry isn't invited to the festivities...

Send them to live in Gaza. They’ll feel right at home.
