Two New Hareidi Posters Are Up

Two new posters (pashkavillim) have gone up, both dealing with feminist issues from the hareidi viewpoint.

The first one, anonymous, is here


and it gravely warns that all females wearing short or tight skirts will lose the right to live in the Messianic Age to come.  Those who violate modesty norms see Isaiah 3:

16 Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet; 17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts. 18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents; 19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils; 20 the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets; 21 the rings, and the nose-jewels; 22 the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles; 23 and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles. 24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.

will have their legs and arms burned in boiling liquid in hell.

The second was issued by the Educational Committee of the Eidah Hareidit:


is shocked and excoriates the Moreshet Yerushalyaim girls school in Betar Illit for including the instruction of...English in its curriculum.  This despite 150 years of a Rabbinic ban by the Rabbis of Jerusalem to prohibit the study of foreign, i.e., non-Yiddish languages (Hebrew is the 'sacred tongue' to be used solely for religious studeis and prayer).
