Deep Meaningful Conversations

Reclaiming Dignity with Bracha Poliakoff


Listen Later

It’s fair to say that every Orthodox woman has her own unique relationship with tznius. There are many factors at play that determine the nature of her relationship: education, upbringing, societal and familial influences, peer dynamics, and religious background, amongst others. Whether tznius is your favorite mitzvah or your biggest struggle, it’s valuable to bring tznius into our conversations as individuals and communities, and perhaps, change the conversation we’ve been having all along.

In this DMC, we discuss how the new book Reclaiming Dignity has been the topic of many conversations in various communities since it was released last month. We have the opportunity to sit down with Bracha Poliakoff, the editor of the anthology section of the book, and have our own deep meaningful conversation on this crucial topic.

On this episode, we discuss:

  • Bracha’s relationship with tznius growing up

  • Her dream in creating this book and how it evolved into the final product

  • The intention behind the unique structure of the book 

  • The range of feelings and experiences frum women have about tznius

  • Improvements in tznius education, and areas still needing work

  • “PTSD” - post-traumatic tznius disorder

  • We’d love to hear from you. You can find Deep Meaningful Conversations on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and you can email us at [email protected].
