=== Daily life ===
Orthodox Judaism emphasizes practicing rules of ''[[kashrut]]'', [[Shabbat]], [[family purity]], and ''tefilah'' (daily prayer).

Many Orthodox can be identified by their dress and family lifestyle. Orthodox men and women dress modestly covering most of their skin. Married women cover their hair, with scarves (''[[tichel]]''), [[Snood (headgear)|''snoods'']], turbans, hats, berets, or wigs.

Orthodox men wear a ritual fringe called ''[[Tzitzit]]'', and wear a head-covering for males.<ref>skullcap ([[kippah]])</ref> Many men grow beards, and Haredi men wear suits with black hats over a skullcap. Modern Orthodox Jews may adopt the dress of general society, although they, too, wear ''kippahs'' and ''tzitzit.'' On Shabbat, Modern Orthodox men wear suits (or at least a dress shirt) and dress pants, while women wear clothing.

Orthodox Jews follow the laws of ''[[negiah]]'' (touch). The Orthodox do not engage in physical contact with those of the opposite sex other than their spouse, or immediate family members.
