Tzniut – Modesty or Privacy, in Jewish religious context

This live stream from MishnahWalk reviews mitzvot 79–92 (e.g., sanctifying/redeeming firstborn animals/sons, temple offerings, burning impure meat, Nazarite hair growth). It discusses modesty (tzniut) in halakha—hair covering norms from Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Mishna—contrasting source texts, historical practice, local customs, and modern/community pressures, emphasizing balance, compassion, and not confusing obligation with stringency.
