It's the tone, more than the actual wording.

Instead of saying "I have never seen it", you can say "Really? I never knew that! That's different from how it is here"...

The tone over the internet, in my third language, will be difficult to do...

German, I learned it for 8 years. I was good until I started English and neglected it totally.

Scratching Head

Doing something wrong is less objectionable if one is doing it as a career than if one does it once to win a prize? By extension of your reasoning, it is less objectionable for a person to eat tref on a continuing basis because he's interning in a tref catering business than it would be for him to eat tref once on a TV reality show. The logic escapes me.


I mean it is seen outside of our insular community as less of a chilul hashem. And that it doesn't seem like she is doing any less afa judaism on the show than in her real life.

So why is it her fault she was born and grew up in her family and not in a chareidi rabbi's family?

That's the issue. It's not about who sees what as a chillul Hashem. It's a chillul Hashem regardless of whether chareidi Jews take more offense than the outside world.

No, she was not brought up chareidi, and no one is faulting that at all. But she was brought up, at least, nominally, with Orthodox values that include some sense of modesty. We're not discussing shittos here of how much of the arm to cover, if pants are allowed, etc. We're talking about indisputable breaches of tznius. She is not a tinokes shenishba; she went to an Orthodox school. I have several relatives who teach there; I know tznius is not a new concept to her. But she's throwing it all away.

And can you imagine the millions of people seeing it?!

It's a chilul Hashem, no matter how you spin it.

Maybe you can call that school orthodox - but they have no problem with the girls wearing pants on field trips and outside of school.

That's MO in many places. Outside of school? Few school care, or can do anything.

NO!!! gasp! shock shock I would have never guessed that !! and wear bikinis in public too... LOL
and acting like escorts online.*.. we can't blush here anymore ,is like a "who can mock our values more" contest!
Seriously....
After 120 is their problem to explain that behavior and how it hurt us all ....We who speak out just do our part pointing out it's wrong ,like we should and then we just let it go... I still hope she gets booted off soon and has a chance to regroup and reflect on where she is going and how low her self respect sank........... but ,that takes thinking !

Wink LOL

*not saying you act like an escort ,or wear a bikini... 8)

Because modest pants are the same exact thing as a skimpy bikini, right?

There are various shitot regarding women wearing pants, it is not so simple. I know plenty of Orthodox women who wear modest pants and cover whatever needs to be covered. Heck, I wear modest pants when needed, on hikes, at the gym etc.

Oh my!!

I was the one who started this thread. Didn't mean to cause such a stir - up. But it is cool to see how much people have to say about labeling someone and Dan Lkaf Zchus.

Did anyone else notice that she barely has any interviews and she is always barely shown in the shots?!

So who does everyone think will win?!? Come on... I think Liz is going to win (or maybe Kayla) . I don't think Ann will because it would just be too obvious since she's been winning all along.

OK found the MO Israeli model. Chava Mund. I guess she's what Esther would like to be.
Here is an interview with her in Hebrew
http://www.eonline.co.il/conte.....sid=7

http://www.ynet.co.il/articles......html

http://www.nrg.co.il/online/55......html

I'm not saying either one is ok.
I'm just saying that Esther is not alone.

Which is different from Judaism as practiced in other places, how? Or you wouldn't know, because you don't live there? LOL

All I was saying was that based on the school she went to, Her behavior and dress choice really isn't such a surprise. (though there are some frummer elements in that school)

Although I chooose not to wear them, pants do cover a lot more than many skirts do.

yeah, why is it so hard for everyone to just be happy for this girl? She's only 18 years old, and I think it's really inappropriate for everyone to be ganging up on her like this. So judgmental about the way others practice...are you such a perfect Jew that you are in the position to judge her?

The latter, which is why I would not presume to comment about customs in Detroit. Or Oak Park, for that matter.
