Our Shul has a proper separation and Mechitza curtain separating the women section of the shul. However, there has been lately talk about the tznius aspect of the women themselves when they get dressed up on Purim.
Most maintain that it would seem that if the
outfits are in the spirit of tznius, then it is permitted.. Nevertheless, some women and their families feel that women should not get dressed up at all. What is the correct way?
A. Tzniut or tznius is often defined as a fundamental Jewish principle encompassing modesty, privacy, and humility in both dress and behavior, aiming to emphasize spiritual essence of the mitzvos and principles of our Torah, over external modern and publicly commonly used dressing and appearance.
It applies to both men and women, guiding interactions to maintain dignity and proper body covering.
As many different and special factors and trends could be at play, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit'a opinion is that a reliable and well familiarized Rabbi or Posek, who understands well the complex possible variations of each case should be consulted.
