From Tzeit-tzeit to Fur hats and Black Coats

The world of clothing a visitor sees in Israel and what it all means. Israel is a microsmic state of a macrocosmic culture. The Diaspora sent the Jewish people into the four corners of the earth and from those corners they are returning to the Promised Land. They are bringing with them the cultures of the places where they have been sojourning and the clothes on their backs in many cases. The streets of Jerusalem are a kaleidoscope of mixing styles of attire. This wardrobe can range from sport shirts and kippas to fur trimmed hat and, long black coats. Let’s start with some basics.
