With
their distinct dress, Hasidic Jews are pretty hard to miss, and that’s
part of the point. They believe their faith separates them from the
general population and that their style of dress should reflect this
distinction. It’s also an expression of their commitment to tradition,
as their dress today was typical for Ukrainian Jews 250 years ago. Male
Hasidic Jews also sometimes sport long beards and curled sideburns
called payot, based on a biblical commandment barring men from shaving
the sides of their faces.
