Interview Questions

I decided that for my first interview, I am going to focus on the second definition of beauty (which is something that is internally moral or ethical). There is a common understanding in Jewish women that tzniut and morals are two different things and are to be viewed differently. Rabbi Lamm wrote an article that redefines our perception of tzniut and defines it differently, referring to tzniut as modesty and keeping some aspects within in order to give off a kodesh, or holy, atmosphere. For my interview, I plan to ask several senior girls, female secular teachers, and female Limudei Kodesh teachers the following questions and see how their responses differ.

1. How would you define internal beauty?
2. Do you think internal beauty can be visible on the outside?
3. How would you define tzniut?
4. How could one achieve internal beauty?
5. Do you think that tzniut and internal beauty are interchangeable?
6. What are qualities that you think every person should have in order to be ethical or moral?
7. Would you equate tzniut and morality?
