Rabbi Binyamin Hotza Explains Modesty Laws for Women During Bein Hazmanim

By כיכר השבת
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Binyamin Hotza, a prominent halachic authority, presents a daily brief halacha segment on the Kikar HaShabbat website called "Halacha in 60 Seconds." In a recent episode, he addressed the laws of modesty for women during Bein Hazmanim, the inter-semester break period in yeshivas. The discussion focused on women visiting women-only beaches or swimming pools during this time and emphasized the importance of verifying whether the staff or managers at these facilities are freely moving around the pool area, which could impact modesty considerations.

The video segment, lasting just over a minute, serves as a practical guide for women observing halachic modesty during leisure activities in Bein Hazmanim. The article also references related halachic questions, such as the permissibility of entering a pool on Shabbat, providing viewers with additional context and resources on Jewish law.

Rabbi Hotza's daily halacha corner aims to distill complex religious laws and customs into accessible, concise lessons relevant to contemporary observant Jewish life. This particular installment highlights the ongoing attention to modesty standards even during vacation periods, reflecting the community's commitment to halachic observance.
