I was in a yeshivish community one Shabbos, and several young women were also at the shul through a low-key kiruv shabbaton. Based on the way they were dressed, it was clear that they were trying their best to look modest, but had not quite been prepared for this community’s standards. At kiddush, one gentleman asked another: “since when did we start letting in harlots?” While none of those young women heard him, I later found out that a woman in the community reprimanded them and told them they should never come back to shul dressed like that. At least one of them decided to end her experiment with Orthodox Judaism on the spot.
Fantastic review! Makes me want to read the book again!
My pleasure as always!
