Gedolei Yisroel Attend Tsnius Chizuk Gatherings in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem

By Yechiel Sever

Gedolei Yisroel held gatherings in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem to address seminary heads regarding the heavy responsibility they bear for strengthening kedushas Yisroel and tsnius.

The events began with a meeting at the home of HaRav Shmuel Halevy Wosner shlita, attended by HaRav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz and the Admor of Gur shlita. They were welcomed by HaRav Moshe Shaul Klein, a moreh tzedek in HaRav Wosner's beis din, who said the gathering was intended to give prominence to the issue of tsnius. "Educating bnos Yisroel includes many values, but tsnius is the top rung on the ladder. Each of the principals, who head [institutions that shape] the future generation, must place modesty first and he will be graced from Above with the power to exert an influence of maximum tsnius and kedushoh."

Speakers included HaRav Wosner, HaRav Lefkowitz, HaRav Klein and HaRav Yaakov Weltzer, principal of the Vishnitz Beis Yaakov Seminary in Bnei Brak.

At the Zevihl Halls in Jerusalem hundreds of principals were on hand — including hundreds of ladies in an adjacent hall — when Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv and HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman arrived. HaRav Shteinman's speech was followed by a talk by HaRav Aviezer Piltz, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Tifrach.
