The Haredi burqa cult is a religious group, primarily concentrated in Israel , in which ultra Orthodox Jewish Haredi women claim that modesty calls for a burqa style covering of the entire body, a shal shawl , including a veil covering the face. The garment, which looks more like a niqab than a burqa, is also called frumka , a play of the word frum devout and burqa. The religious group, which was estimated to number around 100 in 2008, is concentrated in the town of Beit Shemesh . The issue has proven controversial in Haredi circles, with vocal condemnation of the face covering veil by some Haredi organizations, including Edah HaChareidis . History The burqa as a mode of dress for Haredi women was encouraged by Bruria Keren, an Israeli religious leader who taught a strict by Orthodox standards interpretation of Jewish scripture for female adherents. Keren who covers herself in several layers of clothing, claims that covering women was originally a Jewish tradition, and that she has seen a 400 year old picture of Jewish women covered from head to toe. ref cite web url http www.npr.org templates story story.php?storyId 88381958 title A Jewish Movement to Shroud the Female Form work NPR date 17 March 2008 ref Keren declares to follow these rules of modesty to save men from themselves.

refimprove date October 2010 Jews and Judaism sidebar denominations Cultural Judaism , often confused with Secular Judaism , is a stream of Judaism that encourages individual thought and understanding in Judaism. Its relation to Judaism is through the history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people. Cultural Jews connect to their heritage not through religious beliefs but rather through the languages, literature, art, dance, music, food, and celebrations of the Jewish people. It is a pillar in the ideologies of Habonim Dror .
