The Chassidic Attire: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

The Rebbe Rashab spoke about the virtue of the externality of Poland, which is the matter of clothing, saying: "I am distressed and worried that we do not live in Poland" and this is due to the "Polish externality."

The Rebbe Rayatz also greatly praised the garments of Polish chassidim who are very recognizable in their Jewish garments, and said that he wished he could also institute these garments in Chabad.

In the early years, chabad chassidim would wear a round hat without brims called a kazirak, but later, throughout most of chabad chassidism's existence, the custom of chassidim in Russia was to wear a kasket - a hat with a visor (see example in picture 1). Following the decisions of the 'clothing decree', which required all Jews to wear uniform clothing - including a hat with front brims, the kasket. When the Tzemach Tzedek heard about this, he responded that this decree came from the 'klipah' (negative spiritual forces), which tries to prevent the concept of "Lift up your eyes on high and see who created all these" - meaning, looking at the heavens and thereby reaching contemplation of Hashem's greatness and majesty. When the Tzemach Tzedek's chassidim heard this, they cleverly fulfilled the decree by wearing the kasket with the visor facing backward - toward the back of the neck.
