WIY – “By the way, you either keep the laws of tznius or not. There’s no halfway tznius”
In that case, let me add – you either keep the laws of talmud torah or not, theres no halfway. so were you ever guilty of bittul torah? That negates all the hours you spent on talmud torah – theres no halfway! You either keep the laws of shabbos or not, theres no halfway. So all of us out there who are guilty of chillul shabbos (biting nails, biting lips, ripping letters etc.) are just through and through michalellei shabbos.
Yiddishkeit fortunately does not work that way! We are all, as human beings, works in progress. And we all, as fallible human beings, keep some halachos ‘halfway’. And hopefully we all, as Jewish human beings, are constantly trying to fix that.
