I run a Chabad camp. We have many non Chabad counselors. One of our counselors is not comfortable wearing socks and will only agree to wearing ankle socks. May I allow her to wear short socks, as that is what her family’s standard is?

 

Answer:

If part of her leg will be showing, then this is a serious issue. It is a breach of Tznius. The counselors must be such a model of proper behavior and observance of Torah and Mitzvos completely.

However, if she will be wearing long skirts such that her leg will not be showing at all, then this is not an issue.
