I thumbed through it and put it down. I detected a tone of anger in it that turned me off.

By comparison, I liked Wendy Shalit’s (she is an Orthodox Jew as I understand) “A Return to Modesty.” Probably driving home the same point but without the bitterness.

I think A Return to Modesty is a great book. I’m not orthodox but there is a lot of benefit to having some semblance of a level of modesty that I admire about Orthodox Judaism.

Yes, we just spoke of that one, which I remember liking and which did influence me at the time. Now my favorite Orthodox rabbis would not be happy to see what I have on, but I do believe in at least the concept of tznius (modesty.)
