All this obsessive interest in outward forms, and restrictions on female dress had to lead to interference with male dress eventually. Have they nothing better to deal with? What about social ills, such as poverty, sub-standard and crowded living conditions and so on.

not living in the ghettos and villages of a hundred years ago. We can use scholars of Judaism, but not these dictators. I do not wear skinny jeans, however they are better than going around in 17th. century polish clothes.

Now thes so called rabbis try to intefere in how and what men must wear These idiotic so called rabbis are doing thier utmost to get some way to get the press to relate the lies,unteuths and falsehoods

around all day, trying to think up new No No's. "ok guys, what can we prohibit today"??? !!

They are giving me a daily laugh with their utter nonsense. Geez does anyone with a scintilla of a brain listen to these bozos?

The state of Israel is no theocracy! If they want one send them to Gaza, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Oman or Iran. That should teach them.

I read the Torah from cover from cover and here is what i found written in this most holy book. 1. Do not wear tight jeans. 2. Do wear loose pants, but please make sure that you use a belt.

I do agree with the Rabis.Now that I lost 30lb and my pants are looser, I do feel better and my voice is deeper. Previously the pants were murder on my nuts.

The Rabbis are our teachers and they have every right to tell us what they think is the right approach. No self respecting man would wear these tight pants especailly when they are low enough to show the crack of his ass every time he bends down. It is not only wrong it is disgusting!!

that has a dress code. But it is the only society that is bashed for this reason.

What can I say, I have a slender build so trim-fit jeans work for me. (I should add I also appreciate a woman who looks good in jeans.)

Jason you have grown quite senile in your old age I think. It is clear that all those years of cleaning toilets in the mess halls have made you lose sense of all things Jewish. Do yourself a favor and stop commenting on this site. Crawl into a bottle and don't come out!

These rabbis have too much time on their hands. They need to spend more time learning, and less time, kibbitzing. It is a disgrace that they are publicly supported by the Israel government. They should be supported solely by their own flock.

Why don't the rabbi's who have run out of things to ban, well almost, start speaking about midot? Start teaching how to behave correctly in society. Problem is someone needs to teach them first, when will we ever wake up we are missing the point of the prophets, it's our behavior 'stupid'. Wake up Israel.

You have a foul mouth, and your comment is disgusting. Learn some manners before posting.

What I have in my jeans depends on my genes and that is a private matter.

regardless a man or a woman wants to go walking around looking like an over-stuffed tube of tooth paste.

Tight jeans are just silly and constrict your important bits. Look back at that story about the sperm counts being lower.

I didn't realize that fur hats were comfortable in the Israeli sun, not to mention that they look entirely foreign to the region in general. Potentially, I mean, if we are going by the Torah, one would think that comfortable clothing would also include the ABILITY TO TAKE OFF A DEAD RUSSIAN SABLE WHEN IT IS 36 degrees!

While NASA were landing an unmaned space craft on mars the ultra orthox are discussing the important issue of skinny jeans.

Run along and play, young man. Adults are talking right now. I'm surprised you're able to type at such a young age. I really am.

...(really not sure why people continue using that term) I would not be mistaken for an Orthodox Jew due the clothes I wear. I do it for proper tznius but also hope that I am presentable to my mother, grandmother, other seniors, and my Rebbe when I see them not to mention the influence on yunger yidden also.

... this why they are too busy to provide any national service or pay taxes...

You're a sheepselach for sure: bowing down to radicals who do NOT follow the most important aspects of the Torah and then you spew filthy language on top of it. Who says tight, cigarette jeans show someone's backside? They don't: you must be thinking of another type of Jean. What is so 'immodest' about cigarette cut jeans on a man? How about the 'Zebra's' who show their stocking-clad calves? Oooowww....so out of control! The Women must be drooling! Its an absurdity and Its pitiful to see the sheepsalach bow down to Sadducees who ruined the Second Temple with their divisiveness and intolerance: their literalism and ignorance. Good luck: Hashem will be sure your 'kind' who have strayed so far from Torah are taken 'to the gates'. You will NOT be missed and our level of Kedusha will be ELEVATED DRAMATICALLY once the false-orthodox who've strayed from the Torah are no longer on our precious land.

This rabbis are completly mad We should impose a numerous Clausius No more than 50 of them for the entire israel including reforme and conservatives They would not be allowed to be in politic and make public declaration
