In case you have not been following the stories from Israel about religious efforts to impose greater control over women in the public sphere. A recent opinion piece in the NY Jewish Week tells of the "recent YouTube video, gone viral, highlights the activity of abusive haredi activists in Beit Shemesh who are hurling insults and epithets at females whom they believe are not dressing properly."
You can see this news story from Israeli TV about the situation, be sure to close the ads on the bottom of the screen so you can read the English subtitles.

Rabbi Asch will address this topic in her sermon this Friday night at services.
