Would you say the same about people who don't wear a white tichel on Yom Kippur?


I'm not talking about school girls.
I noticed lots of black tights and tichels this yom tov.

Were discussing women wearing black tights.. one poster mentioned she is in a minority..
As for school girls, BCL girls also wear black tights...

There are many older, non chasidish women that dont necesarily wear 'black', (they may wear shades of grey or natural, ) that doesnt make them ' non black tights people'.... their children def wear black ...

Being that SH is now spread over a massive area, and includes such a variety of people- many not born and bred here, Its quite bizarre to difine an entire community and location by their hosiery colour...!!!

I worked in Beis Malka creche on Alkham Road from September 2003 until December 2005,and met some lovely ladies.
If I recall correctly the head teacher was Mrs Hochberg, I was friendly with her sister.
It's hard to believe that the little ones I looked after are old enough to be married; I expect some already are!

Tights is lately a major discussion in Stamford Hill. Even if u say BCL girls wear black the rule when u apply there is you are not allowed to and neither is the mother allowed to.When I grew up we didn’t focus on the tights.

Same thoughts! Who cares what colour tights they wear, I wear black in the winter and nude in summer and do not feel like I'm part of a minority. I only moved to Stamford hill a couple of years ago and love how diverse it is. Of course there's a huge percentage of chassidish people (I'm not) but I find them to be very open minded and accepting of everyone. I live in Tottenham and have become very close with some neighbours that are satmar, belz and other types of chassidus, not sure what. They are the nicest people. Thenkids are all one happy family, on my street alone, girls from bnos, Beis yaakov, viznitz, satmar, bobov and my DD who is in yhs are all best friends.

Was she ever head teacher?
I didn't really know any of the pupils, although I did sometimes get to see the siblings of the creche children.
I remember one nursery age child coming in with her mother and asking if they could go home but leave her baby sister in the creche; I don't think she was too happy when mummy said no!

To clarify, I don't care what tights people wear and everyone in SH is lovely and friendly, but there are still no 50% of women wearing black tights.

Do you own a house? Rent a house/flat?
My dh is from Stamford hill, and we both have lots of family there.
The housing situation is a real problem. Bh my bil owns a large house, but their children are renting flats with multiple kids already.

I visited SH many years ago. At that point, you needed to order cheese a month before shavous. Otherwise, the grocery didn't have enough in stock. Is this scenario still something that happens nowadays?

What about crime? When I was there, I was told not to wear any jewelry ( I'm taking simple gold necklace...)on the street because it's not safe.

I live in GG but I come sometimes to shop. As an American, I have a very limited selection of frum shops where I am.

Can someone kindly recommend on trend but well priced children and women’s store? Does that exist?

Really?
I never feel unsafe
We all wear jewellery on the street and carry large amounts of money in our bags if we need to
