Actually, the school wasn't measuring. They were eyeballing. It was the mother who measured, I guess because they told her it's up to her
I didn't even notice that but now that you pointed it out it is so obvious. But who cares, let's yell at the school for measuring the hair and making a whole fuss embarrassing them in public anyhow. It makes people uncomfortable when some have higher standards than them.

Sorry to go off topic. How long till the school figures out which parent took that video.
Then we can have another thread.  :)

The one thing we all can agree on is that this crazy mindset that our generation has that every stupid thing that arrives on your phone needs to be shared with all contacts and groups. Absolutely ridiculous! Needs to change.

because that is the most untzinus thing ever.
I find it really amazaing that most whatsapp users have no clue that the entire world can and will see every silly picture they post and every article they pass on and every time they curse out a spouse/friend/store/sibling thinking that it's only going to be seen by one person or one group
Friends, Chavra D'CHavra iss lei has never been more prevalent!

The concept of a hairstyle be untznius is not a new one at all. It is a Magen Avraham.


It is based on this Magen Avraham that yerushalmi girls will always wear their hair in braids. Obviously, this is not the minhag in most American communities as stated by the Machtzis Hasekel that the custom is for unmarried girls to have their hair on their shoulders. (note that the Yad Efraim explains the Magen Avraham based on the Rashi quoted by the Machtzis Hasekel)


The concept of restrictions on the hair of unmarried girl can still be seen from there. Each community's standards should be set by the rabbonim of that community and not by some random guy who "feels they are going too far" with no real basis other than their feelings.
Nice.

Actually, I think this isn't so much about halacha per se as it is about the overall "look". Girls are wearing their hair longer and longer, it is a look that attracts attention. The school did not ever claim this was a matter of halacha. I would compare it to wearing super tight clothing.

Why isn't that a matter of halacha?

1. I posted it in the interesting article thread...without comment. I had no intention to start a new thread. That was done by a mod.
2. Why does posting this particular article make me bitter and pessimistic?
I hope you forgive me if I hurt or embarrassed you in any way it was not correct of me to call you out like that. please forgive.

What am I missing here. How old are these girls and who's attention are they attracting?
