So, out with the pants and in with the long, flowing gown. Deja vu, baby! 
And, IMO, it isn't a moot point today as the Orthodox Jewish women still adhere to dresses only. |
The "Orthodox Jewish" women represent a cultural strain that has more to do with
Medieval Poland than anything properly "Ancient Jewish." Notice - the "Orthodox Jewish" men wear fur hats in Israel. Nobody, nobody, nobody wore a fur hat in Israel in ancient times. Nobody.
