MODESTY

Dear Family,

I hope everyone is well.

Mazal Tov again for todays simchos on Lag Baomer ie the wedding of Dani And Ariel in Boston, and the opsheren of Zeevi in LA - beautiful simchos on a beautiful day BH.

And the Boston Davidoffs are following up next week with the wedding of Perry Davidoff and Michaeli. BH! We wish you a Big MAZAL TOV. You should have a wonderful and happy life together and build an everlasting home! Mazal Tov also to Reuven and Chana Lieba. Wishing you much continued nachas from your whole Family.

Mazal Tov to Dovber on his third birthday next week. We are looking forward to your opsher after Shavuos Dovber and to see you with your haircut, kappel, and tzitzis!

We wish Claude long life on the loss of his brother. You should have only simchos in the future Claude.

Today is Lag Baomer, which has the Sefirah of Hod Shebehod.

One aspect of this beautiful characteristic is Modesty and Humility.

And so I am sharing a few insights into this characteristic which I saw today:

The Midrash teaches that there is nothing HaShem loves more dearly then modesty.

At a farbrengen on Simchas Torah (1969), the Rebbe said that young girls should be told what a lack of modesty implies. When partially uncovering themselves to impress others, it is as if they are carrying a poster announcing that they have nothing else to show for themselves-neither intelligence nor middos, nor even a pleasant face . Now, why would anyone want to proclaim such a situation publicly?

But in fact that is not the true situation. In fact, every individual girl has her own innate inner qualities, and once she understands this, the test of dressing in a modest manner will become easier.

In a sicha to women, the Rebbe once explained that the main component of tznius is quiet and modest behavior at home. Appropriate conduct outside the home then flows from this as a matter of course.

Gut Shabbos and love to all!
