16d ago28:06

28:06

Happy Jew Year! Some people get confused about this: Why do Jews celebrate 2 new years and not 1 like everyone else?

Buttoned-up clothing. Black and white style. Tight and uncomfortable. Covered and hot. No designs nor messages. And definitely no ankle. That's the summary of modesty.
