Is there any dress code [or wearing outfit] for a jewish boy at temple?

Question

or the wearing outfit as general case for a Jewish boy at large.
What should be the dress code for a Jewish boy as normal and as in particular case [ inside the temple or during a religious ceremony..

Is it allowed to wear the normal dress in the synagogue?.

Answer 1

I'm assuming since you're using the term "temple" that you're not Orthodox.

There is no set dress code, but be sure to dress respectfully. Dress pants, shirt and jacket should do it, plus a kippah or hat. If you've already been bar mitzvah'd, a tallit would be nice if used in your community by those who aren't married.

If I'm wrong and you are Orthodox, it is possible that your community has a minhag covering male dress in its synagogue. In that case, ask your rabbi or other responsible adult for assistance.

Answer 2

I attend a Conservative shul in Berkeley, CA. I see people show up with attire ranging from business formal to business casual to casual shirt and pants to t-shirt and jeans to t-shirts with military fatigues with talit katan showing.

I've been to the local Modern Orthodox shul and while the older members tend toward business formal and casual, the younger members fit within the range above until you learn what is reasonable and customary for your shul.

I'd err on the conservative side and at least go with the shirt, tie, nice pants combo until you learn what the acceptable norm is at your shul of choice.

At any rate - don't forget the kippah.

Answer 3

In general, Orthodox boys wear a yarmulka (skull cap) always. In Orthodox shuls/synagouges, boys over bar mitzvah wear a hat as well and a sports jacket. On Shabbat, they wear a suit, hat, and tie.

Answer 4

most of the time, dress slacks, dress shirt, tie are sufficient, some people like a jacket too.

depending on the services and people, sometimes just slacks and a nice shirt is ok.

of course its better to err on the side of over-dressed.

edit: for at least conservative, theres nothing generally specific for regular day to day stuff.
I imagine most orthodox don't have anything weird as far as day to day things either. ....

Answer 5

It varies as much as any other religion. Judaism varies in formality as much as protestantism. Some places blue jeans are ok, some they aren't.

Oh except for the hat thing. Even there, you have some pretty funny beanies in some temples.

Answer 6

a keppel and a suit i think, ot at the very least a shirt and pants
