Hasidic Judaism originated in Eastern Europe (now, Belarus and Ukraine) in the 18th century. Founded by Israel ben Eliezer, it originated in an age of persecution of the Jewish people, when European Jews had turned inward to Talmud study. This photograph of a Hasidic father and his son, clothed in their distinctive attire, was taken near the Jaffa Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. Historically the clothing is of the same style as that worn by most Eastern-European Jews (and non-Jews) over a century ago. The Hasidim have preserved this style to the present day. It consists of a 'kaftan', white undershirt, sash, knee-breeches (halbe-hoyzn), white socks and slippers (shtibblat) though this man is wearing shoes. The fur headdress is called a 'shtreimel'. This photograph was used as a chapter opener in the book titled 'The Essence of Anthropology' by William Haviland, Harald Prins, Dana Walrath and, Bunny McBride (ISBN-13-978-0-495-80701-8). Published, 2009, by Cengage Learning, Inc./Nelson Education Ltd.
