Answers to Quora Questions by Yair Davidiy

I've noticed that a substantial number of married Israelis (both Jews and Arabs) don't wear wedding rings, whereas they are practically universal among married Americans. What factors explain the difference?

In the Jewish wedding ceremony the bride receives a ring. Women are expected to wear rings. It seems to be a sign of self-respect for married women to do so. On the other hand, men seldom wear rings. For a Jewish man to wear a wedding ring it would be considered an unwarranted imitation of non-Jewish practice. That is the general picture. There may be exceptions. For example:

I heard of an Orthodox Jewish professional who wore a wedding ring. The reason he gave was that in his place of work there were many women. Some of these females had liberal attitudes. There was however a general consensus among the ladies not to start up with married men. Not being desirous of complications he too took to wearing a wedding ring himself.

A recent picture of a Modern, yet Orthodox, Sephardic Rabbi shows him wearing what seems to be a wedding ring. There may be a rational explanation for this.

I once met a Jewish girl who had been brought up in a mainly non-Jewish environment. She was about to get married but was severely scandalized at the thought that her future husband would not have a ring on his hand.

I do not know about the Arabs. I do know however that performing certain tasks in the IDF and in the work place it is often required to take the rings off.
