		<description>Jewish women wear something conservative and nice to Synagogue.  If you are talking about Orthodox (which it seems from your post), then they dress within the laws of tzniut (modesty).  

Orthodox women just try to look nicer on Shabbat, but dressing tzniut is an everyday thing:

- Skirts past the knees 
- Shirts that cover up the collarbone 
- Sleeves that cover the elbows
- If married: A shietal, snood, or head covering

Orthodox male attire/dress:

- The &#039;dreadlocks&#039; you are refering to are actually called Payot
You can learn about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payot 
- Shtreimels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shtreimel
- Bekishes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekishe
- Gartels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartel&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;~was raised as a modern orthodox Jew</description>

		<description>Actually, Jewish men usually don&#039;t sport dreadlocks. Are you referring to the sideburns? Usually Hasidic Jews will dress in all black and wear sideburns. Other Orthodox Jews might dress in other colors (though Haredi/Yeshivish will usually wear black and white), but this is everyday attire, not special for prayer.

Jewish women also do not wear anything special for prayer. We dress modestly, covering our arms until past the elbows, wearing skirts covering the knees, and married women covering the hair with a wig, turban, or hat. Again, this is regular everyday attire, not special for &quot;worship.&quot;

Like Einav states, some less religious Jews will dress more like everyone else, but will dress more modestly to enter a synagogue. But again, this is out of respect for a house of worship, and not specific to the actual worship.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Orthodox Jew</description>
