A winner was chosen for a raffle drawn by a new website encouraging women and girls to improve in their tznius.
Inspired by a letter of the Rebbe on the importance of tznius, a group of Chabad women created this website to share this inspiration with others.
In the letter, the Rebbe writes that tznius “brings the Divine blessing into your home and family, with Heavenly blessings and earthly blessings, wealth, children, and grandchildren.”
Thousands of copies of the lettter have been printed and given out to women and girls. These copies include a note about the new website directing the reader “to enter drawings for exquisite gifts, go to TheRebbesletter.com.”
On the website, there is a form to submit for each time a woman makes an improvement in tznius. She can choose from options like ‘I stopped wearing one skirt that didn’t fully cover my knees while sitting’ or ‘while shopping, I held myself back from buying something that wasn’t 100% tznius’. She can also fill in her own personal improvement.
Each improvement submitted counts as one raffle ticket toward a drawing for the choice of a sheitel or piece of jewelry (worth $500 – $700) and women can submit as many improvements as they like. All forms are submitted anonymously.
Over 150 women have participated and taken on themselves hachlatos in strengthening their tznius. Our first winner chose a beautiful piece of jewelry. The drawing will be held once every three months.
Now that the weather is becoming warmer and the challenge is greater, let us give this beautiful gift to the Rebbe by improving in our own tznius and encouraging others to do the same. May this bring many blessings into our lives, and bring the coming of Moshiach now.

u r adding to the kedusha
U never know by encouraging a woman to add in tznius and kedusha, we never know the ongoing effect it could hav for evr
I mamish dont understand! so many frum, lubavitch girls walking around the street with mini skirts and no socks!! it mamish hurts my heart to see it! i once told a girl that she should pull down her skirt and her mother started yelling at me that i am a stranger and have no right to tell her daughter what to do! i am mamish crying!! may hashem help us to be tznius just like the rebbe melech hamashiach would want!! mosjiach now!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
We need more people like you!!
Mazel tov! Some one finally speaks the truth!
keep it up!women its up to us!
Love love love love.
If only parents realized that if they stopped bugging their kids about wearing stockings (which type of stocks did Miriam wear in the desert) and focused on shabbos and kashurus, something that is rooted in fundamental Judaism, they’re kids have s much higher chance of “getting it” and following.
My thoughts exactly.
Far too much emphasis is put on fitting in and almost no effort goes into teaching kids just how good Yiddishkeit really is.
May you all go from strength to strength , with 100% success , in the beginning of the Alter Rebbe shulchon oruch he writes that some of the birochos are said because we do not dress like to goyim, that goes for style and colors etc, its time that we follow what it says in shulchon oruch and then Moshiach will reveal himself…
Love love love love.

It is interesting how girls want to be clones of others
Everyone is an individual and when you dress according to TORAH you are a unique individual.
I DID move out ! I saw how it was effecting my teens. Went back home and although this area is not frum / Jewish u do not see the level of immodesty here like CH! My kids have completely changed too …. So much frummer and tznius!
A women’s and girls’ clothing store that only sells tznius styles and helps us find clothes that look beautiful, don’t break the bank, and conform to all tznius rules.
When I was growing up (in public school) major clothing companies would find the most popular kids in each school and encourage them (free clothes, exclusive club, etc) to wear their clothes. Our biggest challenge is the words nerdy and nebby. Our kids want to fit in and when tznius is “out” it makes it an uphill battle.
Yasher Koach to those who are organizing this campaign. May We all keep growing positively.
it,s like blaming the fashion stores for selling non tznius clothes when we all know how business works if there is no demand for non tznius clothes they will stop selling them right away,married women are free and in full control of their wardrobe,
please don’t start with that, like we are not aware of our own problem, like lubavitch has no issues with tznius
It is wonderful to see how people respond with such an Emes
Our love to the Rebbe shines through…
Tznius is such a big challenge and yet we try so hard, What a great gift in honor of Gimmel Tamuz .
very nice idea. i really hope it brings to real improvement. just throwing the idea out there maybe can start a blog as a support group where people can share anonymously about their tznius issues and help each other.
What a heart warming and beautiful story. I will be sure to share the story by my Shabbos table. I already took a screenshot and whatsapp’ed it to all of my groups. Keep up the great work!
that’s harsh.. it’s so much easier said then done..
you couldnt be more correct.
we have a terrible cancer growing in the jewish world, and it is destroying our holy and pure homes
when will this golus end.
i do not care how much yoou daven, learn and dress, when inappropiate dress, veiwings are done all the time .
it is a terror that has attacked the frum world, and destroying lives..
Is this what Labavitch stands for to tell another Yid to move out of crown heights because they do not dress Tznius, i thought that is the reason why there are sluchim, maybe you should move
I am considered tznuis but sometimes I see a little of my collarbone showing or I don’t wear short sleeves but when it gets hot I roll up my sleeves without thinking and then i remember. Could I enter the contest could use a nice piece of jewelry or money towards a Shaitel.
Who are you addressing that comment to specifically?
To number 8
That fact that u could right such a thing shows u have no idea what ur talking about!! The decadence of the community can hardly be associated with designs and machinations of the Rabbinical administration.
It’s people like u that are ruining are community!!
This is wonderful!!! Ull get such Brochois from hashem!!!
When u get dressd ask urself “Can I pass for dollars in what Im wearing?” Becuz moshiach can come any second! In the blink of an eye! And we gotta be ready!
This campaign sounds amazing. I like how it is so positive and encouraging for such an important Mitzvah.
you are obviously one who is ignorant and does not know who our Rebbe is and what He is about if this is your opinion…Maybe you should move to Williamsburg because you seem to be following their views…But you are difinitely not following the Rebbes way It is YOU who should move out
You are right! I work on Madison and 72nd and the non-jews (super wealthy ) dress with more Aidelkait and modesty then on Kingston. whats sick is that the parents are the ones dressing the kids at 6 years old they are begging the kids to not be Frum one day.
This is so important in our community. So many women don’t dress how they are supposed to. Maybe there can be a campaign for men to learn and dress tznius also.
If the rabbonim of crown heights respected women and their opinions then maybe the women would learn to respect themselves.
What an amazing campaign!! We should use this as just a jumping board to continue to be careful of how we dress and even ensure that we dress modest and stylish!
Let’s keep it up!!
My daughters and I, of course always dress tznius as is the norm in the community. However, we were never fully aware and interested in every little detail of the halachos. Since this campaign began I started being very careful with how I dress and my daughters quickly followed. Once my daughters went to school dressed “extra” tzniusly, their friends followed as well. Thank you for this amazing campaign!!
#2 a comment as such will only about negative responses from anyone that may find this a challenge. It will not accomplish much. #3 The reason the website is called The Rebbe Letters is for us to see the Rebbe’s view on tznius. The Rebbe’s words are words of Torah and of facts. We all love the Rebbe , we all try to do the right thing. Putting others down is not part of becoming better Jews. The Rebbe clearly stated in these letters what is the protocol of tznius and what defines tznius for now and always according to… Read more »
i think that the men should take upon themselves also hachlotos of shomer aineiyim. behind closed doors and under white shirts, the ribonei shel olem has full veiw of everything , please our women try their best, but some of these wonderful women belong to men that arent soo perfect even though they look it. please give credit to women who try and their spouses should encourage them, it is not always the women that want this , the men are the ones who encourage them to look like this. we have noshim zidkonois and their frum kollel, rebbes husband… Read more »
As a self appointed master of crown heights i don’t think you belong in this community. Sound familiar?
On a more serious note perhaps its time we start giving our children a mediocre foundation in Judaism rather then a strong foundation in following rules!
Perhaps this will help with the community believed tznies issue.
Any one who feels they cant dress the way they would if they were to pass the Rebbi for Dollars (was normal to go take a dollor from rebbi in colored shirt — Shaboss clothing was not usually worn) Should Move out of CH its not your place.
There are a lot of Jews that live in Crown heights that are not Labavitch.
