Scary and More Scary<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Rabbi Arush mentioned in his lecture on Shabbat after morning prayers that the biggest plague that resulted in the most deaths when the Jewish people were in the desert was when the men sinned with the non-Jewish women. Bringing sources from the <\/span>Gemara<\/span> and Rashi, he explained that the grand total who were killed by Hashem for these sins was 174,000 men! <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a Holocaust! That\u2019s almost one third of the men in the desert! <\/span>W<\/span>hen it comes to sexual immorality and immodesty, G-d has no patience! Even <\/span>for the sin<\/span> of idolatry, Hashem killed many less people, and gave people the time to repent. Not <\/span>so <\/span>with <\/span><\/span>neuf<\/span> <\/span><\/span>(all sins relating to sexuality)! It is absolutely dangerous!\u201d Rabbi Arush practically screamed to us.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t even sensitive to it anymore. The tzaddikim have been telling us for years that the war against sexual immorality, immodesty, Internet, smart phones and the like are all part of the war <\/span>against<\/span> Amalek. <\/span>Amalek represents everything abhorrent to G-d, including and especially extreme sexual immortality. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Why is Amalek paired with sexual sins? The Torah explains that Amalek\u2019s parents were Eliphaz, the son of Esav, and Timna, his concubine. Rashi explains that Eliphaz courted the wife of Seir, and without knowing it, fathered Timna. So Timna was a <\/span><\/span>mamzer, <\/span><\/span>a child born of an adulteress wife to a man not her husband, who then unknowingly married her father<\/span>! <\/span>So<\/span> Amalek was the son of a <\/span><\/span>mamzer, <\/span><\/span>and<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>the result of incest between father and daughter! This formed his essence<\/span> at the extreme end of immodesty and immorality of all forms. As we saw with the Nazis, Hashem should erase their name and memory, that not only is Amalek virulently anti-Semitic, but they pose a real and present danger to the entire world.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

So<\/span> in our days, as a direct result of these weapons of Amalek, immodesty and immorality have reached levels never before seen on earth. But the really scary part is that we embrace it as \u201cfashion\u201d! <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

How are we not repulsed by men in skin-tight Lycra pants without socks? If it\u2019s sexy, it\u2019s immodest, no matter how much is covers<\/span>. A<\/span>nd that – that isn\u2019t even sexy, it\u2019s just plain old disgusting! What about black skirts with bright gold zippers right down the front? I mean, can we make it any more obvious that a man who looks at a woman wearing such clothing is imagining that zip<\/span>per taking the skirt right off?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Every year the skirts get shorter in the stores and the colors get more absurd. <\/span>These are just <\/span>a few <\/span>simple examples of clothing that I very sadly see walking the of my religious neighborhood in Jerusalem. I shiver to think of what walks the streets in the rest of the world\u2026<\/span> and the really scary part is that no one is even sensitive to it anymore, to even call it for what it is \u2013 absolutely gross immodesty that isn\u2019t even \u201cpretty\u201d anymore.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

The cherry on top of this downright frightening reality is the real-hair wigs being paraded around almost every Jewish community on the planet. It\u2019s hard to talk about, because no one wants to hear the truth. But I have heard a number of messages from different tzaddikim that we are flat out of time \u2013 and the truth simply must be told, or risk the severe punishments G-d forbid. All of the <\/span><\/span>poskim<\/span><\/span> have ruled that real-hair wigs are forbidden on multiple grounds, including greats like the <\/span>Chasam<\/span> Sofer and the Chofetz Chaim. Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l<\/span>, the Prince of Torah and <\/span><\/span>Gadol Hador, <\/span><\/span>ruled that they are additionally forbidden because of the real possibility of connection to idolatry, and the certification cannot be relied upon (isn\u2019t it sad that we hang on his every word, except when he says something we don\u2019t want to hear). Rabbi Ovadia Yosef <\/span>zt\u201dl<\/span> listed every major <\/span>posek<\/span> as against them, Ashkenaz and Sephardic, and then said that anyone who does permit them is a \u201c<\/span><\/span>rasha<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>machti<\/span> <\/span>harabim<\/span><\/span> \u2013 a wicked person who leads others to stray.\u201d <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

I have excellent materials in Hebrew and English for anyone who wants to know more about the truth, including English quotes from the greatest Rabbis <\/span>that will make your hair stand on end, <\/span>miracle stories <\/span>in <\/span>Hebrew <\/span>of <\/span>women who ditched the<\/span>ir wigs<\/span> and had  <\/span>incredible  miracles happen, and a translation of an <\/span>incredible class on modesty by Rabbi Arush that highlights both the terrible consequences and awesome rewards of this critical mitzvah, on which rests 90%+ of the judgment of a woman in the Next World.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

My final comment \u2013 never forget that while the punishment for sins of sexual immorality and immodesty is severe to the highest degree, the reward for a mitzvah is always 500 times greater. Since I switched my clothes to modest long and wide clothes, I have never felt more honorable or more royal \u2013 like a true \u201cdaughter of the King.\u201d I love my clothes<\/span>  like  never before<\/span>, and there isn\u2019t any amount of money that you could pay me to go back to  my wig and tight clothing. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

And the King has rewarded me richly, with many miracles and <\/span>even more, a profound sense of happiness and satisfaction with my clothes and confidence in myself that I never before enjoyed. After all \u2013 for every single <\/span><\/span>tefach<\/span> <\/span><\/span>(about 4 cm square) of my clothes, multiplied by every  single second \u2013 I am earning the most important mitzvah of them all.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201dIn<\/span> the merit of the righteous women, the Redemption will come.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It isn’t easy standing against a tsunami of immodesty, but the reward is commensurate  with the difficulty!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Avrahami grew up in Los Angeles, CA, USA in a far-off valley where she was one of only a handful of Jews in a public high school of thousands. She found Hashem in the urban jungle of university. Rachel was privileged to read one of the first copies of <\/span><\/span>The Garden of Emuna<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> in English, and the rest, as they say, is history. She made Aliyah and immediately began working at <\/span>Breslev<\/span> Israel. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>
