Jerusalem, Isreal - Orthodox rabbis have set to convene to a rally Motzei Shabbas against immodest clothing, in a bid to "safeguard modesty."
Last year, the limits of modesty were broken in the Orthodox community. Young Orthodox girls began going to shopping malls to popular chain stores such as Castro and Zara where they purchase fashionable clothing – too fashionable according to the rabbis.
And in order to fight the practice, several seminary rabbis and administrators decided to have female students sign a new modesty regulations contract.
The contract would bind each student to wear extra thick stockings, a shirt long enough that even bending down will not rise above the skirt, a skirt that would completely cover the knees.
