How to Dress According to Jewish Standards

Although different branches of Judaism have diversities in dressing properly based on Jewish laws, there are, however, basic requirements to which all these variations conform.

  • Married women should cover their hair when they are surrounded by men other than their husband. Customs may differ as to how much hair should show beneath the head covering.
