* Clothes cannot be made of a mixture of wool and linen

* Some Jewish girls won't go out without socks/tights up to their knees * Some Jewish girls won't go out unless their hair is tied or braided

* In addition, married Jewish women keep their hair covered in public

Answer 2

Jewish women do wear special clothes. One piece of their clothing is a hair-kerchief and it is wore by only married women.The Bible and the Torah told them to wear it. Jewish women weren't allowed to wear men clothes they should wear dresses or skirts. Some Jewish women wear wigs or cover their hair with a snood, beret, tichel, or women's hat.

Jewish women do not wear a veil unless they are in an Islamic country to follow Islamic laws. The face of a Jewish woman does not have to be covered. She indeed is not supposed to wear men's clothing (i.e., pants). However, in some cultures this is argued about. Jewish women wear skirts, shirts, dressed, robes, etc - but they must cover knees, elbows, collarbones, etc. - to keep her appearance modest. Also, married Jewish women cover their hair with hats, wigs, or scarves - this depends on their country of origin.

Answer 3

For purposes of modesty, they wear medium-length or long skirts and long sleeve shirts, and if married a wig or kerchief covering the hair. The clothes are chosen in styles that are not "loud," tight or translucent.

Answer 4

that depends, there are many different branches in Judaism

but if you mean the very religious they tend to wear shirts with sleeves that cover their elbows (no cleavages), also they wear long maxi skirts/dresses and many Orthodox women do not wear pants.

Married women generally hide their hair. Some use wigs and some use hats/head- kerchiefs.

Answer 5

Most Jews wear the same things non-Jews wear.

Among the Orthodox, some women wear long sleeve shirts, with long skirts that cover their legs. Married women usually cover their hair in public. Orthodox women are forbidden to wear trousers.

Orthodox Men wear a kippah or yarmulke on their heads (though many non-orthodox men also wear them in the synagogue) and some also wear another hat over their kippah. Under their shirts, men wear a garment called tzeetzeet katan or tzitzis, which is similar to an undershirt with special fringes at the bottom. The fringes may be exposed or tucked in, according to the community.

Modern Orthdox Men generally dress exactly the same as non-Jewish men, with the exception of the kippah and the tzeetzeet (with the fringes tucked in).

There are also other ritual garments associated with specific events and holidays.
well in ceremony's they wear kippa's, tallits and other traditional clothes.
well the thing that Jewish people wear on there heads is called a kippah

Answer 6

It would depend on the branch of Judaism:

For Reform Jewish women, nice pants and a top is acceptable. Skirts and dresses are great too. It's important (in all branches of Judaism) to be very respectful and cover up your body, but in the Reform movement, there really is no emphasis on appropriate clothing.

For Conservative Jewish women, long skirts and long-sleeve sleeved blouses are common, but it's also acceptable to wear nice pants. Sleeve length usually doesn't matter too much unless you're called up to the bimah. And even then, it depends on the synagogue's custom. Women in most Conservative and All Reform synagogues may wear a kippah and a tallit as well.

For Reconstructionist Jewish women, it depends on the synagogue, but the rules generally follow either the Reform custom or the Conservative custom.

For Orthodox Jewish women, modesty is essential. Dark colors are customary but are generally not required, though some synagogues may require it. Long skirts or dresses are a must, and elbows should be covered as well. Married women cover their hair with hats, scarves, or wigs. It is never appropriate for a woman to wear a kippah or tallit in an Orthodox synagogue. Regardless of her personal beliefs, it's always better for the woman to be respectful of the rules of someone else's house.

In Orthodox synagogues, men must also dress modestly. No shorts or sleeveless shirts are permitted, though many outreach synagogues will not kick anyone out (male or female) for breaking these rules. They will take the opportunity to educate the person instead.
