Description
Are “you” the way you dress? No matter which way you answer the question, this book will be eye-opening for you. In a refreshing, straightforward style, the author of ‘The Magic Touch’ addresses the subject of tzniut, loosely translated as “modesty”, providing insight and inspiration for all. Modest attire and behavior are the external expression of the humility and propriety we internalize from within. But who are we? How does the way we dress affect who we are inside? An eye-opening, unique perspective for both men and women of every background and Jewish skill level.

I’m a Messianic Jew and have been hoping to find more literature on tznuit. I love that Gila is fair and writes in a conversational tone and a time fit for the classroom. Definitely worth the purchase. By the end I was left wanting a part two! Excellent read on the matter.

I read the 1997 edition of this book more then 10 years ago, and it was a transformative experience for me. Another reviewer of this edition called her “gentle and generous,” and I think this is spot on. Coming at the topic from not an entirely sympathetic viewpoint, I was struck by her understanding in this book about the conflict that many modern young women feel about the concept of tzniut, and her ability to speak to the purpose and importance of tzniut in a way that resonates with that population. In the 1997 book, she was nonjudgmental, sympathetic, and understanding, and because of that her words rang true.Twelve years later, my own daughter is approaching adolescence and beginning to question all of these rules, and I thought that a joint reading of Outside Inside was the perfect way to start a discussion of the meaning of tzniut, so I ordered the new (2005) edition of the book. Fortunately I preread it before showing it to my daughter. It is very, very similar to the original edition, but the entire tone is changed. There is a subtle shift that eliminates much of the “gentle and generous” aspect of the original. On reading it, I did not feel that I was reading a book by someone who understood why young people might have difficulties with some of the concepts of tzniut; it felt more like a lecture at times by someone who really could not understand why anyone would dress immodestly, and rather looked down on them for it. As I said, much of the material was the same, but the tone of it turned me off, even now when I am myself fully convinced of the importance of tzniut. So bottom line: buy the original!

I was surprised at the length of this book, it is quite brief and not an extensivereview on Tzniut (Modesty). I was expectant for a more indepth look at the topic,however the book shared personal reflections and stories and is very easy to readand also easy to relate to. I do recommend the book as something for easy readingand everyday understanding of Tzniut, it is not extensive and does not go intoHalachic teaching on Modesty, so if you looking for that you will not find it herehowever if you want an everyday understanding then this is the book to go for.

Great work and book about how to view oneself in a different light than how the mainstream media and American society I have developed self image and body image.

An amazing book and a must read for every woman. I also think this is an essential tool in healing self-confidence as well as building it in your children.

I’m not Jewish, but Judaism is for me a source of wisdom for a happy life. It helps me a lot in search of answers about what to do right, and why do I need to do it this way and not in another?This book is easy to read by non-Jews, it brings a lot of eye-opening information on how to be happy in the 21st century, as a person, as a spouse and as a member of society.Being a man, I learned from this book how to be modest in every aspect of my life, how to dress in a way that my outfit expresses my true essence, how to look at women and how to interact with women properly.No matter what your faith, this book will give you a lot of rationality.
