Not yet a synagogue, but even in the Knesset they understand that a modest dress code is not just a religious matter.<\/p>\r\n
The Knesset recently refreshed the dress code for those coming to the Mishkan and banned those coming with short skirts and dresses.<\/p>\r\n
According to the procedure, the regulations will apply to all Knesset visitors: employees, permanent permit holders, workers, suppliers and students. A letter sent by Knesset Director General Albert Sakharovitz to "all visitors to the house" announced a refresh of the dress code in the building, which prohibits the wearing of short skirts or dresses.<\/p>\r\n
The Knesset explained that this refers to short skirts and dresses that are not modest. The letter that was distributed includes the code that existed previously: "According to the dress code, one must come to the Knesset in appropriate clothing; one must not appear in clothing that does not respect the Knesset building.".<\/p>\r\n
It was also determined that one should not wear clothing with political inscriptions.<\/p>\r\n
The Knesset administration says: "The refresh of the dress code a few weeks ago was intended to clarify, as much as possible, ambiguities that existed in the past - and all while demonstrating great sensitivity, maintaining respectability in dress on the one hand, but attempting to prevent, as much as possible, hurting the feelings of visitors and guests.<\/p>\r\n
\""In general, there is no substantial change compared to what was previously customary. In the few weeks since the code was implemented, we have not encountered any exceptional cases, except for one, in which we commented to a visitor who was asked to change clothes, a case, by the way, in which the woman accepted the comment with understanding.".<\/p>\r\nThe new procedure also stipulates that only a woman will greet a woman and a man will greet a man. In addition, a person has been appointed in each division whose job is to verify the dress code among employees, and those with permanent permits will be guided by the Visits and Permits Department.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the modesty regulations, visitors wearing short skirts or dresses will be prohibited from entering: "No one should enter in clothing that disrespects the Knesset building." \u2022 It was also determined: Only a woman may greet a woman and a man may greet a man.","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[10404,15311,15310],"class_list":["post-328501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-93","tag-10404","tag-15311","tag-15310"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
