Washington, Aug 11 (ANI): The ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel has reportedly come up with a special kind of glasses, which have blur-inducing stickers on their lenses, which would prohibit them from seeing those women, who they consider to be immodestly dressed.According to the New York Daily News, in an effort to maintain their strictly devout lifestyle, the orthodox Jewish men have also 'separated' sexes on buses, sidewalks and other public spaces in their neighborhoods, as their interpretation of Jewish law
forbids contact between men and women who are not married.Walls in the orthodox
Jewish neighborhoods in Israel reportedly feature signs exhorting women to wear closed-necked, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts, the report said.The ultra-orthodox community's unofficial "modesty patrols", who are selling the 'blur vision' glasses for a modest price of 6 dollars, are also offering 'hoods' and 'shields' that block peripheral vision, for men who are forced to venture outside their insular communities, it added.
