When the State Winks Quotes

“Throughout most of the conversion ulpan, Moran consistently wore a skirt or a dress, her arms always covered by long shirt sleeves extending below her elbows. As an anthropologist, I also took care to dress according to the modesty code that the three male Orthodox teachers had introduced to the class of mostly young women. But now, six months later, only a short walking distance from the ulpan, we both allowed ourselves to show up in jeans.”
― Michal Kravel-Tovi, When the State Winks: The Performance of Jewish Conversion in Israel
