    The details vary from group to group, but the norm is this:

    Elbows and collarbones are covered, the skirt is long. A married woman covers her hair, usually with a scarf, a hat or a snood, but for special occasions with a wig. Unmarried girls do not cover their hair.

    Devout Jewish men are strict in the case of the Torah. In Leviticus it forbids the shavings of corners and marring of the corners of beards. Related to the apparel.... We're not accredited to put on Linen and Wool collectively. Leviticus 19:19 and Deuteronomy 22:5, 22:Sept. 11 Why some Jews wear black garb with black hats is a extra traditional factor as obvious in lots of extremely Orthodox Jewish sects.

  • Entirely depends on the branch.

    There's a great French film about an orthodox girl living in Paris. She and her mother and sisters wear wigs over their hair in public. And long skirts of course.
