Baring skin does not necessarily make one cooler - just ask the Saudis. Besides, it's not classy to wear tank tops and halter tops and thigh bearing minis. It just isn't. We represent Hashem in this world and to the best of our ability we should dress modestly.

It has a tank-type under shirt (she can't put bra cup longsleeve items) that has a 3/4 length sleeve jacket, a pair of long shorts, and a skirt that fits over it.

My understanding is that a Jewish man can't recite berachos or eat and drink with his head uncovered, so every time you want to eat or drink, you would have to put the yarmulke on. Also, there's a beracha after using the bathroom called "Asher Yatzar," and you would have to find a way to cover AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292734369805726323.post-68991598745144563772011-04-01T11:40:15.309-04:002011-04-01T11:40:15.309-04:00As for appearances, I suspect you know there are n...As for appearances, I suspect you know there are no absolute answers. One of our ER physicians is a frum, black hat and suit wearing Jew (on Shabbat) who does not wear a kippa or tzitzit out when working. I, on the other hand, wear a kippah in the ER and on flight duty. (Tzitzit can't be worn out of the flightsuit anyway.) Both work. You also have to consider time and place in such Mordechai Y.
