I have a bunch of great quotes somewhere that I want to post when I find them. This is one of them.
“As one 27 year-old Orthodox woman put it to me, with a toss of her long black hair, “there is a saying that goes Einb’not yisrael hefker. It means that the daughters of Israel are not available for public use.”
From Wendy Shalit’s book Return to Modesty (pg. 131)
I wish more women felt this way about their bodies!
