⭐ Jewish Wear ⭐

Wear has long ago played a significant role in Judaism, reflecting religious identification, social condition, emotive state and even the Jews’ relation with the outside world. The pristine rabbis taught that maintaining their distinctive clothing in Egypt was one of the reasons the Jews were worthy of being rescued from servitude.

Upon synagogue services, Jewish men traditionally don prayer shawls and cover their heads with kippot, practices that some liberal Jewish women have inspection as well.

While majority Jews dress the same as non-Jews when outside synagogue, many Orthodox Jews are recognizable by them distinctive garments worn for reasons of ritual, modesty or tradition. In particular, Orthodox (and others non-Orthodox) men cover their heads with kippot, and others cover these with black hats or a shtreimel , a type of fur hat. Yet stringently Orthodox men frequently wear black suits, and many Hasidic men wear suits that are reminiscent of the style Polish aristocracy wore in the 18th century, when Hasidic Judaism began. A lot of Orthodox men also wear a tzitzit , a four-pointed garment with fringes on the corners, underneath their shirt — sometimes the fringes droop out from the shirt, but sometimes they are not visible.

Many Orthodox women avoid pants and instead stick to skirts and dresses. In addition, Orthodox women usually wear modest clothes that cover more of their bodies, although how much is covered varies dramatically from community to community.

Over the years old, rabbinic authorities frequently spoke out on two matters related to clothes– contrary to excessive or gaudy styles and in favor of keeping clothing, particularly for women, “modest.” On the different hand, it has long been a custom for Jews to have special clothes for festivals and Shabbat, contributing to the exclusive character of these days.
