Kolpik
In Ashkenazi Jewish tradition, a kolpik is a type of traditional headgear worn in families of some Chassidic ''rebbes'' (Hasidic rabbis) of Galician or Hungarian dynastic descent, by their unmarried children on the Sabbath (Shabbat), and by some ''rebbes'' on some special occasions other than Shabbat or major holidays. The kolpik is made from brown fur, as opposed to a ''spodik'', worn by Polish chassidic dynasties, which is fashioned out of black fur. The shtreimel, another similar type of fur hat worn by Hasidim, are shorter in height, wider, and disc-shaped, while kolpiks are taller, thinner in bulk, and of cylindrical shape. It is seen as an intermediate level garment between ''Shabbat'' and weekday dress. The days that some ''rebbes'' don a ''kolpik'' include: * ''Rosh Chodesh'' Meal * Hanukah * ''Tu BiShvat'' Meal * '' Isru Chag'' Meal * Meal served to the poor a few days before a child's wedding * '' Yartzeit'' Meal It is often thought, that Jews adopted wearing fur ...

Chassidic
Hasidism () or Hasidic Judaism is a religious movement within Judaism that arose in the 18th century as a spiritual revival movement in contemporary Western Ukraine before spreading rapidly throughout Eastern Europe. Today, most of those affiliated with the movement, known as ''hassidim'', reside in Israel and in the United States (mostly Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley). Israel Ben Eliezer, the "Baal Shem Tov", is regarded as its founding father, and his disciples developed and disseminated it. Present-day Hasidism is a sub-group within Haredi Judaism and is noted for its religious conservatism and social seclusion. Its members aim to adhere closely both to Orthodox Jewish practice – with the movement's own unique emphases – and the prewar lifestyle of Eastern European Jews. Many elements of the latter, including various special styles of dress and the use of the Yiddish language, are nowadays associated almost exclusively with Hasidism. Hasidic thought draws heavily on ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Name The word ''Yahrzeit'' is a borrowing from the Yiddish (), ultimately from the Middle High German . It is a doublet of the English word yeartide. Use of the word to refer to a Jewish death anniversary dates to at least the 15th century, appearing in the writings of , Isaac of Tyrnau, and Moses Mintz. Mordecai Jafe also uses the term in his 1612 work ''Levush ha-Tekehlet''.

Yosef Ḥayyim of Baghdad notes a once-common false etymology of the word as a Hebrew acronym. Other names for the commemoration include naḥalah () in Hebre ...
