If I’m attending a social event run by Jews, should I dress modestly?

[Anonymous]

Like, wear a dress that covers my elbows, breasts and legs?

I’m not Jewish. I’m a Christian.

• I think so.
• Some are progressive, no problems to whatever you wear.

Sounds like the respectful thing to do

[ChicoFromThe305]

The goal is looking presentable

I just ordered a 3/4 sleeved, blue and white checked dress, where the skirt falls below the knees. Is that appropriate?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea I believe so, by presentable I don't mean turn yourself into a nun 😆

[Asker]

I won’t 😊

[ChicoFromThe305]

Good have a blessing time at your event lol

[Asker]

Thanks 😊😊

My mum wanted me to wear a really plain blue dress that I could jazz up. ‘No one else dresses up at end of year parties.’

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well I didn't even know that end of year parties were a thing so there's that, do you have experience jazzing up dresses? Cause it sounded like your mom was very hopeful on the idea ha

[Wraith_Cemetery]

As a Christian you should be dressing modestly to begin with, honestly. The reason Jews do is because of the Bible/Torah.

[bededazzle]

do you mean hassidic jews? if so sure always good to show some respect. if not wear whatever?

[fastandsubaru]

Dont all dresses cover the breasts, elbows and legs?

[Anonymous]

Yes, from my experience they are very keen in these things
