Abstract
This article explores the increasingly common practice within Haredi communities in Israel of dressing family children in coordinated outfits, commonly referred to as “sets”. Drawing on ethnographic observations, interviews, and an analysis of vibrant discussions in Haredi women’s online forums, the study examines the specific practices associated with this phenomenon, its underlying cultural meanings, and the interpretive frameworks through which it is understood. In addition, the article considers the range of inter-and intra-group references that inform and shape its conceptualization
