MODESTY “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE”
Tzniut is the
ability to focus on the essence rather than the superficial aspects. Tzniut means drawing attention away from
my outside body in order that others and I can get to know and appreciate me
for my inside soul.
When you want to focus on something you have to remove everything else that’s
distracting. For example when you want to watch a movie you dim the lights in
order to watch it clearly. When your at a performance the audience must stay
quiet in order to hear the singer.
Tzniut is not about hiding your body but showing what’s hidden - your soul. How
do we show it? By dimming the lights. The only way to focus on our neshama is
by dimming those distracting lights to allow our neshama to shine. Our soul can
only glow when the attention is taken away from the physical.
Tzniut sends a message of security and
confidence. You don’t need outside approval or attention. The more you have on
the inside the less you feel the need to show on the outside.
Tzniut isnt for anyone but YOU. It’s a protection of yourself. Don’t sell
yourself short!
