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 round and often made from the fur of animals like sable or fox, symbolizing a connection to heritage and religious observance. Shtreimels are usually worn over a kippah (skullcap) and can vary in size and style depending on the specific Hasidic group. The hat is often paired with formal attire, reflecting the importance of modesty and tradition in Jewish culture.
