This paper explores the way contemporary American Conservative Jewish communities express ideas of egalitarianism and feminism through active use of specific ritual garments (tallit and tefillin). It addresses the meanings that these garments currently have on individual, communal, and institutional levels. Additionally, it considers women’s changing roles regarding ritual and participation in these communities. It also considers that in this context, when women take on additional religious obligations they are simultaneously representing feminist and religious issues and actions, and the conversations between these ideas.

Thesis (BTech (Fashion Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / The main objective of the research is to unfold the necessary theory by using current and relevant information available, in the scientific and fashion department, to substantiate the exploration of dimensions and the associated human interpretation. To produce two separate collections that combined illustrate my personal design identity, but when apart they demonstrate two parallel versions of the same concept. The main collection is divided into two ranges, one commercial and another conceptual. The commercial pieces will present a more affordable ready-to-wear range to the consumer while the conceptual pieces will represent my own interpretation of the concept chosen for this research. Together these designs will formulate a vision for the overall collection, reflecting my own meaning and interpretation of what dimensions are and the various techniques of representing them. Extensive research will be done to unfold all the theory needed to substantiate my findings during this exploration into dimensions and the universe we live in.
