Lot of conflicting information.

The Mea She`arim is not a fruitful area for missionaries.

Also not so clear about t-shirts, period. I would think women would need their arms covered, which could be the simple answer.

I love Jewish people. But you have to be a little careful about talking religion with them if you're a Christian. Many of them will say something along the lines of "Fine, just don't try to convert me," so you can see that it's an issue in general, not just in Jerusalem. I expect that the fact that it was GERMANS coming in there and telling them who to worship didn't make the situation any better especially of the people were Ashekenaziim.
