Distance yourself from ugliness and its likeness/ Refrain from ugly deeds and their like!

Stay away from all moral ugliness or bad behavior and from everything similar to it.

("Unclean and pure, forbid and permit, and so the witnesses who testified - all the chiefs took, but the wise said: Keep away from ugliness and from what is similar to it" - Chulin Mad Ab, and so: "There shall not be any man upon a woman - Rabbi Yishmael Omer says: The scripture came to teach you to keep away from ugliness and from what is similar to ugliness, so that others will not envy you. In the past, it was like a man wearing a woman's clothing, and the woman was considered a woman by the man, and they were found nowhere near the past." - Midrash Tanai'im Lidbarim, Chapter 22)
