Tznius and holiness in speech, thought, dress and conduct; Women set the standard; influence must reach distant circles outside mainstream Yiddishkeit
FREE RENDITION
By the Grace of G-d
Lag b’Omer, 5730
Brooklyn, N.Y.
To All Participants in the Fifteenth Annual Convention of Neshei Ubnos Chabad
Blessing and Greeting:
... Our Sages explain that Tznius and Kedusha must be observed in every aspect of the daily life, including speech and thought, and certainly in dress and general conduct.
In this area, especially, as in certain other areas of Jewish life, the Jewish woman and daughter set the tone and standard, as experience has shown. Our Sages often stressed that the future and happiness of children is largely tied in with the Tzniusdige conduct of the mother.
May G-d grant that your Convention - of which the main theme is Tznius - will implement the true ideals of Jewish womanhood in actual practice, and set in motion a far-reaching drive to make Tznius the pervading spirit in deed and in speech, which in turn depend on the sanctity of thought.
Moreover, as in all other activities where Chasidus demands that they be disseminated Chutzo (outside), may the voice of your Convention and the living example of all your participants and members, reach and inspire also distant circles, which are as yet "outside" the mainstream of true Yiddishkeit. The Zechus of the many will bring you G-d’s help and Hatzlocho.
Wishing you the utmost Hatzlocho, and hoping to hear good news from you,
With blessing,
/Signature/ Menachem Schneerson
