I found his perspective to be true from many experiences I have had in the past year.<br />Even in America, people of many cultures are dressing very improper. <br />We have rights but...<br />It's sad to see that Culture has put a stigma on the word modesty. Like its a bad thing to respect your body.-In Corinthians chapter 6 Christians should see that it describes what a body symbolizes-It is suppose to be a symbolize the temple.Languages and Learning to Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948691849702344335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405653927651400188.post-90628107837495456112010-01-13T05:01:13.484-08:002010-01-13T05:01:13.484-08:00In the city I used to live in there was a huge ort...In the city I used to live in there was a huge orthodox and hassidic community (2nd biggest in the USA) and I saw a lot of women using scarves to cover up. Sure I saw some women who wore *obvious* wigs but I also saw a lot of younger women (teens, twenties and 30's) with a very boho look and a pretty scarf tied up in bun style or tied behind the head and the ends arranged nicely.<br /><br />Quite a pretty look...I think the wig and snood looks rather blah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405653927651400188.post-26369576600001597332009-08-17T21:45:10.390-07:002009-08-17T21:45:10.390-07:00Stacy - totally. :)Stacy - totally. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405653927651400188.post-65683448931222201362009-08-17T08:50:23.522-07:002009-08-17T08:50:23.522-07:00@WhiteOrchid, Yeah there are very few that I'v...@WhiteOrchid, Yeah there are very few that I've seen who cover today.

This means that he differentiates the pronunciation of tet and tav, qof and kaf, sin and samekh as well as the vowels each being distinct.
