What We Wear in Israel

The Clothes We Wear- A little bit different but basically the same as others!!

On weekdays to school we wear our regular clothes.  The boys wear pants ( sometimes jeans- sometimes sweat pants), T- shirts,  and sneakers.  When it is hot, we wear shorts and sandals.  That is most of the year!!

The boys also wear  kipot and tzitzit

 Kipot are sometimes called yarmulkes.  They are skullcaps that the boys wear on their heads.  Yarmulka is the Yiddish name for the skullcap or kippah worn by many Jews all the time and all male jews (and visiting non-jews) at Jewish holy sites.  We wear kippot as a sign of respect to G-d and that he is always watching over us.

We weara crocheted kippahs.  Usually our mothers or sisters crochet them.  Sometimes they are just one color.  we like to wear different color kippahs. some kids have there names crochet ed into the pattern 0r even their favorite football or basketball team ( like Maccabi Tel Aviv)  On our Sabbath (Saturday) we wear white kippahs.

Tzitzit are sort of an undershirt with tassels on the 4 corners.

this  is because  our Torah ( Bible) says, "You shall make tassels  on the four corners of your garments…"

The Lord said to Moses: Speak to the Israelite people and instruct them to make for themselves fringes (tzitzit) n the corners their garments throughout the ages; let them attach a cord of blue to the fringe at each corner. That shall be your fringe; look at it and recall all the commandments of the Lord

In ancient times, many garments were four-cornered. Because we no longer regularly wear four-cornered clothing, we wear a special undershirt  in order to fulfill this commandment

Some people buy special tzitzit that have the special blue thread in it .

This is what tzitzit look like:

The girls wear t- shirts and skirts to school.  We have to wear  shirts with  a short sleeve for reasons of modesty.   We do not wear pants to school for reasons of modesty.  The skirts have to cover our knees . In the winter we also wear sweatshirts, sweaters and tights or pants under our skirts.   In the summer it is very hot and we always wear sandals!!

On Shabbat ( our Sabbath) we wear special clothes – not our every day clothes.

 We  honor Shabbat by not wearing the same clothes we  wear  during the week. The basic requirement of Shabbat dress is to greet  the Sabbath washed and appropriately dressed.   On Shabbat (Saturday for Jewish people) the boys wear fancy clothes like classic button shirt, nice pants and our finest shoes and a white kippah.  The girls wear pretty dresses or skirts.  The dresses and skirts are made of fancy materials and we like to get dressed up in our Shabbat clothes.
