Just like the Bobov hasidic girls school a few days ago, a Satmar hasidic girls school, Beis Ruchel of Kiryas Joel, has banned leather clothes. Why? Because, the school's leaders claim, wearing leather clothes violates "I'vchikosichem lo tiliechu," the biblical commandment not to go wear "goyishe" [non-Jewish] clothing. (Interestingly, Satmar used the same photo on its letter as Bobov used earlier this week on its letter.)
