Spodik
A spodik (or spodek; , from Polish ''spodek'' " saucer") is a tall, black fur hat worn by some Hasidic Jews, particularly by members of sects in 19th-century Congress Poland. The origins of the spodik and the shtreimel are unclear, but it is often thought that the Jews living in Europe adopted wearing fur hats from the Eastern European culture, and perhaps from the nobility. Description Spodiks are to be distinguished from kolpiks, and from shtreimels, which are a similar types of fur hat worn by Hasidim. Shtreimels are shorter in height, wider, and donut-shaped, while spodiks are taller, thinner in bulk, and of cylindrical shape. Kolpiks and spodiks have the same shape, but the former are brown, while the latter are black. Such hats are typically worn only on special occasions, such as the Sabbath, holidays, and weddings. Spodiks used to be made from fisher tails in North America. Nowadays they are made also from fox fur. Use Ger Hasidim, being the largest Hasidic commun ...

Shtreimel
A shtreimel ( , plural: or ) is a Fur clothing, fur hat worn by some Ashkenazi Jews, Ashkenazi Jewish men, mainly members of Hasidic Judaism, on Shabbat and Jewish holidays and other festive occasions. In Jerusalem, the shtreimel is also worn by Litvak Jews (non-Hasidim who belong to the original Ashkenazi community of Jerusalem, also known as Perushim). The shtreimel is generally worn after marriage, although it may be worn by boys after bar-mitzvah age in some communities. History There is speculation surrounding the origin of the shtreimel. Different theories hold that it is of Tatars, Tatar, Turkey, Turkish, Russians, Russian, or Polish people, Polish origin, but it is not possible to establish a clear chronology. A common view is that the shtreimel was adapted by Jews living in Europe as a warm winter hat, possibly inspired by nobility; the shtreimel is comparable in construction to fur hats historically worn by gentile nobles and commoners across Europe and Russia.

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 ...

Hasidic Judaism
Hasidism () or Hasidic Judaism is a religious movement within Judaism that arose in the 18th century as a Spirituality, 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 Judaism, 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. Has ...

Gerrer) is a Polish Hasidic dynasty originating from the town of Góra Kalwaria, Poland, where it was founded by Yitzchak Meir Alter (1798–1866), known as the "Chiddushei HaRim".
