Am I the only person perturbed that Melania Trump was wearing a low shoulder dress at the lighting of the menorah at the white house?
The other people in the photo, and the person lighting the menorah looked Frum. It wasn't like a reform event.
Did someone forget to tell her what was proper dress?

Doesn’t bother me. It wasn’t in a shul. Plus I light in a nightgown so......

I'm guessing you don't like the Trumps very much. It's easy to nitpick about people you don't like.
So what it's off the shoulder? No cleavage showing. Very tasteful and modest by most people's standards. Why should I expect her to dress like me?

Melania Trump is not Jewish, and therefore is not obligated to keep the mitzvah of tznius.

So don't accept her children in your soon-to-be-shut-down-by-yaffed school.. Wink

Who cares? There are so many other important things in life that I gotta worry about right now, Melania Trumps dress is the last thing on my mind.

Yes, with this and the stand-up comedy thread, it’s definitely the Thursday-night gossip party.

Melania has a history of dressing inappropriately. Remember her jacket that declared “I really don’t care, do u?” when she went to visit the immigrant children detained at the Texas border?

To answer your question-- yes, you are the only person perturbed about this. Most people couldnt care less.

Ditto...as in, Yes, you are the only one bothered by this.

It wasn't a makom kadosh. She was in her own house and she's not Jewish. No biggie for me.

Noone cares.
She's not Jewish therefore she can wear whatever she wants. Don't you have more important things to worry about?

I am no fan of the Trumps but do not care about what they wear. Well with the exception of the "I really don't care" dress because that's a double negative now.

My grandmother was at the candle lighting. Which is totally irrelevant. But I just thought I’d share.

Was it a Dolce & Gabbana dress? If so, they'll call her out on it and possibly insult Elton John in the process. Standing by with popcorn ready!

Is she the Bubby standing behind Trump during his speech? At one point he turns around and a regal looking woman becomes visible.

Why does it matter? I’m no fan of the Trumps but she looked just fine by non frum standards. We cannot expect the outside world to hold our views and conform to our ways of life.

I don't specifically care what Melania wears to a Chanukah party. Am I bothered by the general lack of modesty in the world today, as opposed to once-upon-a-time? Yes.

I looked up a picture. I don’t find that style so flattering on her but I’m not offended by it!
