Organizers asked to quote this letter from the Rebbe (From: Sichos in English, Igros Kodesh, Vol. VIII):
“The Gemara and Zohar elaborate in many places that strengthening one’s conduct of Tznius is an infallible way to be blessed with good health, sustenance, and much nachas – true nachas – from children and grandchildren.
This depends on each and every one of you: that you yourselves act in this manner, and see that your good friends, relatives and acquaintances become aware of the great potential that they possess [to act in a like manner], and the blessings that such behavior brings with it.”
Rabbi Gancz will be answering questions sent in advance to [email protected]
i’m 17yo and sorta on the fence (open-minded) u orginizers should also use some common sense!!
my friends and i would be much more receptive to a message of tznius+style if the presenter was a cool chasidish mom, who knows how to dress cute and halachakly kosher!!
just my 2 cents!
this stuff aint the end of the world! only the end of galus!
its all part of the plan
you just make sure your not caught with your pants down so to speak,
or maybe i should rephrase that,
dont be caught with your knees showing! lol but derious
just hang in there just abit longer, moshiachs mamas mamish here! get ready! the rebbeh never lied!
i listened to the entire Shmooze to the men, and found it very interesting yet, it did NOT adress the BIG ELEPHANT in the room, why NOT teach the men, the psychological factors that fuel the “tznius-crises” yes, as a student of psychology and an outsider to the lubavitch community, i have never encountered a happy well-adjusted frum mother who is driven to reveal more than Halacha allows, any wife who is soo desperate for the wrong kind of attention that they will actually dress provocatively in a manner which attracts attention of an in appropriate kind, such a women… Read more »
most lubabs NEVER chose to be lubav. its true the ones who arrived to chabad on their own actually KNOW what our philosophy is far better than the average O.T. or ULY bochur!!
is obvious from the comments what kinda ppl are upset by a speech exposing the goodness of tznius and the evil of dressing like a desperate person

the comment of #24 shows how much #4 was right.
what are the chazon ish and chofetz chaim doing on a chabad site?! answer: they were invited by the satmar speaker.
anyone remebers “loi mehem veloi mehamoinom”? (17 tamuz 5743)
number 34 is right. why should the school make it mandatory? if u don’t go, obviously you’re not interested in changing. and if you do, good for you. and they even said if you bring your parents you get a plus five on your final! pathetic! also, they said they cant *waste* precious school time on having a speaker, so we should use our time smack in middle of our finales to go! wow, very considerate bais rivkah!
BRHS is making it mandatory. This will not help a bit for the ppl that dont wanna go will not gain a thing. 1rst, BRHS has to teach there own teachers to be a role model for us if your a hebrew or english teachers and stop being hypercritical to the student telling them close button which doesnt mean to the extent of korf start with basics you can dress nice and be tznius and 1rst stress the basics to students as cover elbows knees and collar bones . tight is not the basic and being in style is perfectly… Read more »

good job. Where did you get such good schooling?
1. what’s the difference between makeup or a striking paterned dress and a tight one?
both attract. both wearers wish to attract.
bottom line is women will try to attract and men will be attracted.
and the world turns.
2. last time i checked ganz was sorta in charge at morristown boys yeshiva. he should be busy warmly embracing and lighting the spritiual fires of all the bochurim excommunicated by all the boutique yeshivos instead of spouting useless preaching to the choir.
ain’t no goin’ back.
shape up, peoples. instead of complainin’ the other looks hot, eat less and exercise more.
theres a middle aged woman that was the first to dress prost…going on for years, low neck lines, tight clothes, borderline skirts. She was/is a very strikingly attractive woman.
She is now complaining about the pritzus in the neighborhood! Many dont see themselves as others see them.
Chazal tell us that tznius is to women what limud torah is to men.
chofetz chaim has in a letter that the main thing in yidish kait is tzneius
and the chazen eish once said that tzneius is acwivlant as a man thats learns torah a hole day
knowing more re a subject has a way of motivating at least a percentage of the girls

“20. why is tznuis more important then limud torah
why is tznuis more important then limud torah or saying yechi?”
you answered your own question. everything boils down to ikar and tofel, i.e. priorities, if you think saying yechi and limud hatora are on equal footing, therein lies the problem. hatzlocha
Being able to attend an evening shiur of inspiration together with my daughter is brilliant! It will give me the opportunity to discuss and share our thoughts, since we were both able to experience it together. Thank you so much to the organizers for a long awaited opportunity!
To the critics, beware, your comments ring of midas amaleik. How anybody could find fault with a project like this is beyond me.
why is tznuis more important then limud torah or saying yechi?
thats why BRHS is forcing its students to attend (against their wills) and by doing so, the only thing that may happen, is that those that artet znius will get chizuk. but believe me, as a teenager myself, no one that doesnt dress tznius (despite being educated, of course) will change if they dont want to. so all the speeches in the world wont even help because most of the girls will enter knowing in thier minds that they will not allow themselves to become “inspired”
bais rivkah high school is making it mandatory for their students to attend…..
who is yelling? it’s the ppl reading online that expect the yelling…
Did you hear Rabbi Gancz? Only chizuk and explanations, the beauty and importance…
Listen you’ll be inspired!
maybe just maybe the women in our society would dress better if they had better role models, not that the only people that dress tzniusdikly are 108 and the dorkiest dressers out there…. man get with it….
if only the tznius-challanged women were not YELLED at but rather, made to understand (in a gentle manner) all the positives, blessings, and good that hashem promisses…
they dont need to hear the musar and threats from chazal!
it will help them too bc it will embed a deeper understanding as to why we do it. it may feel like the right thing to do – but how do we explain it and isn’t tznius also your thoughts and how you move – there is always room for improvement – it’s really a high level to be tznius all the way – kol ha kavod to all who attend.
You are right rules need to be implemented but making speeches is not just a speech that needs to have punishment attachment but rather a learning program where we learn what’s right or wrong al pi halacha and BEYOND.
Once people get it rules are no longer mandatory, to such a degree, since people get to have an understanding and feeling for tznius in every aspect from clothing to behavior.
Let us hope that REAL tznius will become a reality real soon.
Fathers spend lots of time (pleasant casual NOT lecturing time) with your daughters of all ages, the more time and attention you invest at ages 1,2,3,4,5,…17 etc the less self esteem-issues later on in life, nebach for those girls who never really bonded with there father, they are left with a gapping whole in their heart, yearning for a male-father-figure and R”L end up with a life long problem called “male-attention-issues” i bet, 9 out of 10 women in c.h. who dress prust, are craving the lowest kind of attention, HY”R if only the real root cause was understood, and… Read more »
Please buckle up and be strong! We need these shiurim in an ongoing fashion!
Who cares who is teaching as long as it’s Toras Moshe M’Sinai! Toras Chaim! Toras Emes!
Let’s face realty.
Lots of work! Lots of money! Lots of z’chusim!
Buckle up and help these organizations fund these events!
Read the Rebbe’s words, they speak for themselves….
this shiur is a great idea, not so much because the woman who need to show up will show up, but bec. it gives chizuk to those who are already tznius, and people like my sister, who won’t show up but will secretly listen to the shiur online!!
OR DO WE MAKE SPEECHES TO MAKE ANOTHER SPEECH?
many of our leaders werent born in chabad…
Rabbis:
Leshes – Litvish
Heller – learnt in Brisk
Marlow A”H – BT
Bell – BT
Farkash – Niturei Karta
Vechter – Satmar
Gluckowsky – Veltish
Shochat (all of them) – Telz
Bogomilsky – learnt in Torah vdas
There are more…
I, for one, am not showing up
My father said this person is not the one who should be speaking to us about this
The big q is who will show up? the girls with mini skirts dont care to hear this. maybe we can get this on a cd/dvd and give it out to everyone on the street who is not dressed tznius!!
get a life, this has nothing to do with x satmar or x russia or BT, we all came from one place or another chabad when started was just a very few. Rabbi Ganz is more part of anash and more real then you or your family will ever be!!
why is it always that we turn to ex-satmars for guidance on issues like tznius and chinuch?
what does that say for the anash (eigene) amongst us?!
could this be another twist on the infitration of foreign opinions in our circles, kid of like the tolayim issues we got from the briskers among us?
what’s next kemach yoshon?!
mothers should encourage teenage daughters to attend.
Teenagers are still deciding how they will be as they grow older. Now is the time to show them the beauty of tznius.
i hope there will be audio to post online after
This is so nice. I hope lots of people attend.
