The רמב"ם writes- "תלמיד חכם ניכר בלבושו"
“A Torah scholar is recognized by his form of dress”.
Appropriate dress plays a very important role in the dignity and atmosphere of a Cheder. As Torah students, the boys should reflect Torah and Chassidic standards at all times.
Please be advised that the dress code will be strictly enforced. If a child arrives to the Cheder improperly attired, the child may be sent home to change.
