Hey Guys, just wanted to pop in about masks: This was filmed in that weird haze that was post delta but pre omicron. Basically around the time I filmed New York Fashion week. Both in this video, and in my NYFW vids you will not see people wearing masks often. Unfortunately, this is not the reality anymore, and New York is back to wearing masks. Stay safe everyone and get your boosters!

@NaomiOff 2 жыл бұрын

@@RizTheUrbanExplorer Islam and Judaism are very close that's for sure. Jewish women do cover their hair but not like the hijab concept. In the 613 commandments in the torah not one is written about the hair (while in islam it is written in the Coran), and you find it only in the Talmud. Because there is not actual "God law" for the hair, the interpretation of it is very vast. Some girls wear a scarf, some others just put a hat, some have a headband, some have a wig... In Israel the you will see most of the times wigs among the mature women, and headband and scarfs where you always see a part or all the hair (like the links below) among younger women.

I grew up in New York - Rockaway to be exact. I grew up in a black baptist church where we would get dressed up every Sunday. My mom would go over to Broadway in Nassau county to shop in the Jewish stores. Tailored clothes, beautiful hats...absolutely divine fashion! Clothes so well made they’d fit perfect. We’d see Jewish families on Saturdays and be like dannnnggggg, you go ladies! Dressed sharp from head to toe!

Not all non-Jews are in communion with the God on Abraham,Yitzhak and Jacob, unclean spirits rather. That’s why Jew watch not to intermingle with goyim. And clothes must not be provocative.

I recently joined an Apostolic Pentecostal Church and at first I wasn't really a fan of the whole women wearing skirts thing.

But after watching this video I realize there are so many different creative ways to be modest.

@Nicki Elmore As if pants couldn't put a distinct between the sexes. I've seen powerful modest women of God who look very feminine wearing pants. I think you can be Holy and wear pants. Not in a immodest way of course. But in a way that both honors God and self expressive. I just believe you can be modest with pants and makeup and modest with a skirt_dress and no makeup.

What a wonderful video! As a conservative Jewish gal, I used to fall prey to the stereotypes of how more religious Jewish women dress. It was only after living in Israel for a while that I realized how Orthodox women can and do defy those images, especially looking at Mizrahi Orthodox women in Israel. Those ladies LIVE for patterns, bright colors, and simply WORKING it AND staying modest. It was all really eye-opening. I am always working through the idea of "what does it mean to be modest for myself, and in what moments" through the lens of my own religiosity and relationship to my body.

It’s true. But the older you get the more you appreciate how powerful Tznius really is. Women have tremendous power to influence the people around them. We can present ourselves as classy PEOPLE or we can belittle ourselves and become objects. That does not mean look ugly or frumpy. It means creating an environment where both men and women respect each other as humans. It’s sad that the secular world is trying so hard to get to this place but there is a huge cognitive dissonance in their approach. If you objectify yourself it’s hard to be respected. ( not that that gives permission for someone to abuse you just that you should foster the respect for Yourself). Most orthodox Jewish women don’t tolerate inappropriate remarks from men. But honestly most men don’t speak to us that way because we make a clear message in the way we present ourselves.

It's so interesting to see the differences between American Orthodox Jewish women's fashion and Israeli Orthodox Jewish women's fashion. I'm not Orthodox but I have friends who are and I can say that only in the past five years or so I've been seeing Orthodox women dress in a more "fashion forward" way. I can say that my Conservative or Reform Jewish friends have adopted a more out of the box style before my Orthodox friends, who are now starting to adopt more "secular" trends. It's also interesting to see how over the past few years, Hassidic men have become very fashion forward when it comes to styling their suits.

This was brilliant video, thank you! And all the women were so beautiful and unique! I heard no judgment whatsoever, they just dress how they feel most comfortable in and that's how it should be, always

Thank you so much Taj!! Theres so much to learn from people and the way they dress I feel, all over the world. I feel like fashion is so much more than clothes, its an expression of belief, of culture, of society, its so interesting.

So glad KZfaq recommended this to me. Fascinating to see a bit more of the personal side to a community I don’t know much about. Thanks for sharing.

This was so interesting! I’m LDS and also dress modestly, I only wear skirts/dresses too. It’s nice seeing all the different ways people style their modesty.

I'm not Lds and not an Orthodox Jew but I always imagined getting a wedding dress from an lds shop. I don't want to show a lot of skin when getting married.

while I'm not an Orthodox Jew, I'm still Jewish and I'm OBSESSED with this video. I love fashion so much and it was so nice to see other Jewish women so openly expressing themselves through fashion 💞

Absolutely love this, I'm not Jewish, I'm Pagan but I live in an orthodox Jewish area outside Philly and modest fashion is extremely important to me. I like layering because it's difficult to find individual pieces that cover everything that needs to be covered. And dressing modestly is part of my personal values but I also want to take into consideration the people in the community I live in. Thank you for this great video!

This is quite interesting to me and has really opened my eyes. I'm not Jewish, but a Christian woman, and modesty is important to me as well. I'm not the most fashionable woman as far as what I wear, but I still love clothes and seeing what others wear. Thanks for making it clear that not all Orthodox Jewish woman dress in the stereotypical way that's usually portrayed in the media. I'm glad my eyes were open about this so that I don't keep carrying the stereotypes in my mind. :)
