Reclaiming Dignity - Changing the Narrative of Tznius in our Communities and for Yourself (Bracha Poliakoff)

Published on: 15th February, 2024

Addressing the sensitive and multifaceted topic of Tzniut/Tznius (modesty) within the Orthodox Jewish community, Matana sits down with Bracha Poliakoff, Co author of the "Reclaiming dignity" - a guide for Tzniut/Tznius for men and women. 

Bracha highlights personal experiences, communal norms, and Halakhic interpretations and the challenges that arise from the complexity of the subject, differing opinions, and the need to address a potentially polarizing topic. 

She relies on Halakhic sources, and presents a broad spectrum of voices and provides a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of Tznius, encouraging understanding and unity within the diverse Jewish community

When we listen to truly understand - and not to respond - we can replace judgment with curiosity and open our hearts to every Jew, regardless of their personal choices.
