[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to every one! I was not intending for it to be a strange question just not familiar with the customs and wanted to be respectful and mindful of what they are.[/quote]

"strange" pp here. That wasn't what you asked. You didn't ask what the customs were and if they were different. That would not have seemed as strange to me as your question.  All the PPs talking about arm coverings as their example of dress codes varying among religions, what you are leaving out is that the variation is WITHIN religions, in Christianity and Judaism you can find groups that really care about bare arms and ones that don't, so your explanation does not hold water. The information OP gave is not enough to determine whether denominational differences like that would come into play. [b]Not all Jews are the same. [/b]

it's hard to explain, and I clearly have no backup here so I'll stop after this. [b]Your question made it sound like 1. you think all Jews are the same [/b]2. you were uncomfortable interacting with Jews because they are different from you.  I suspect that you know all this about other religions, that they don't all believe the same things, so why would you think Jews would?[/quote]

You're clearly a psycho.

Wouldn't it make MORE sense to ask a question about attire SINCE "not all Jews are the same?"  If I attended an Orthodox service, I'd be especially cautious about my choice of clothing.

And while OP didn't mention where the ceremony was held, she opened up the discussion so that people could guide her [/quote]
