Judaica

Man dressed as Canaanite working in a Judaica store at the Old City of Jerusalem Jewish Quarter.

Canaanite dressed orthodox Jews believe that the vestments used by european orthodox, the famous black suit and hat, are not the proper way to identify as a Jew. They say that if we should dress in a way in order to demonstrate devotion to God, it should be as in the earlier times of Judaism, after the laws of Moses and the coming back of the people to Israel after the Exodus.
