Close to the Damascus Gate, in Jerusalem, in the israeli district of Bet Yisrael a poster warns about the rules about the clothes a women who cross the neighborhood should wear. Literally it says: To women and girls who pass through our neighborhood, we beg you with all our hearts, please, do not pass through our neighborhood in immodest clothes. Modest clothes include: closed blouse, with long sleeves, long skirt, no trousers, no tight-fitting clothes. Please do not disturb the sanctity of our neighborhood, and our way of life as jews committed to G-d and his Torah.
