A shtreimel is a traditional fur hat worn by some Jewish men, particularly among the Hasidic community. It is typically worn on the Sabbath and during festive occasions. The hat is made from the fur of various animals, often fox or mink, and is characterized by its round shape and wide brim. The shtreimel symbolizes a connection to Jewish heritage and customs. It is often worn over a kippah (skullcap) and is part of the traditional attire that reflects the wearer’s religious identity. The hat is usually black and can vary in size and style depending on the specific Hasidic group.
