Tzniut Quotes

A women is just as much a princess as the king's daughter. Her beauty is reserved for her prince-- her husband. Displaying herself improperly before others shows a lack of appreciation of her own dignity. [The Ways of the Tzaddikim]
Some people would say marriage is a union of a man and a woman. Spiritual people would say that it is a union of a soul of a man and a woman. But the true definition of marriage is that it is not a union at all, it is a REUNION. Two halves of a soul, divided at birth into male and female, who are REUNITED in a marriage.
The Maharal writes that the main source of a woman’s greatness in the upper worlds is her modesty. We are accustomed to think that modesty is only a matter of how a person dresses. But modesty in its proper sense refers rather to doing things for the sake of Heaven alone……the process of a woman’s spiritual growth consists of just one thing: to be for Hashem alone. [Rabbi Shimshon Dovid Pincus]
The most tzanua woman in the world, and therefore the greatest woman in the world, is the one who lives her life with unwavering, razor-sharp focus on her ultimate goal: to serve Hashem.

About

Tzniut Magazine is a blog specifically for those who's interest is a modest lifestyle.

According to Judaism, G-d wanted us to enjoy an existence in which our physicality wouldn't stand in the way of defining ourselves internally. G-d therefore gave the first man and woman a great gift: the inborn ability to see each other in their totality.

With this perfect vision, man and woman saw each other's outer self and inner self as one inseparable unit. When man looked at woman, he simultaneously saw her mind, heart, and spirit. At the same moment that woman appreciated man's appearance, she appreciated who he really was.....

Tzniut - Modesty.... is the most fundamental way of using your outside to tell others who you are on the inside. It makes the statement: "I am much more than what meets the eye. If you want to see the real me, you'll have to look deeper." (Outside/Inside: A Fresh Look at Tzniut)

Outside actions create inside awareness; wearing a symbolic and something tangible between us and the Above reinforces that idea that G-d is always watching.

Covering the hair was a sign of modesty in society throughout history, but times and definitions of modesty have changed. The goal of Headcoverings by Devorah is not to tell women how to cover their hair, but to influence, if possible, one to thinking, talking and learning about modesty.

For many women new to head coverings, to cover your hair or not to cover the hair is not a simple decision, instead it is a choice that evolves with learning. May our various designs, made to appeal to the varied levels of observance and knowledge of the head covering, help you in that decision.
