Haredi Orthodox shop owners in Williamsburg, Brooklyn have faced criticism of signs in some shops requesting that patrons dress modestly.

According to CBS News-New York, local non-haredi residents of the Hasidic enclave feel that signs banning low-cut necklines, sleeveless shirts and shorts amount to discrimination.

But one shop owner, interviewed inside an unidentified store selling hardware, said that he wanted customers to respect religious norms.

“When they come into this area, this community, they should be dressed the way we would like they should go,” Shlome Fuchs, a local haredi resident, told CBS. “They should be dressed the minimum as we want them to.”

Upscale clubs and restaurants in New York also require customers to adhere to a dress code.

CBS reported that in 2009, haredi leaders in Williamsbug lobbied New York City to remove bicycle lanes in the neighborhood so that haredi residents would not have to see immodest women cycling.
