What comes to mind when you hear "tznius"?
Six teenage girls from both modern Orthodox and Bais Yaakov backgrounds set out to answer that question.
Tights. Ugly. Frum. Self-Esteem. Hard. Beautiful.
Necklines and hemlines, slits and socks - what's the big deal? The girls felt confused, frustrated, guilty, resentful. And afraid of change.
But they were open-minded enough to try something new. Meet once a month. Discuss tznius. Keep a weekly diary.
It wasn't easy. It wasn’t overnight. But somewhere between October and June, six girls started to see things differently.
This is their open and honest diaries – their thoughts and feelings, their confusion, frustration and guilt.
They challenged tznius on their own terms. They discussed topics without the censorship of adults. They took a different look at themselves. Rethink what beauty really means. Wish for more.
Avigail: There are a billion questions I have on tznius, but even when I try to get the answers, nothing clicks.Â
Rachel: I’m very embarrassed, but whenever I see a group of girls with the long-skirt, button-down shirt look, it makes me really nervous.Â
Chavi: When I think about tznius, a few things come to mind - and none of them are too exciting.Â
Sarah: Honestly, I'm not looking to become a totally new person at this point in my life...Â
Ellie: Is tznius really so up there on the priority list in Heaven? What about tefillah, simchah, things like that?Â
Shevi: It’s like my head keeps telling me to wear it and my heart keeps telling me not to.
Their diaries are true. Their thoughts are totally honest. Their journey is real.

Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting.
When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better?
This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas:
- The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children.
- The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change.
In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous.
As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures.
10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.
