Pleated Elegant Kittel FAQs
What is a kittel and why do Jews wear a kittel on Yom Kippur?
A kittel is a traditional white robe worn primarily by Ashkenazi Jewish men to symbolize spiritual purity, humility, and renewal. On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, it represents our aspiration to be like angels—pure and free of sin—while also recalling the burial shroud to inspire teshuvah (repentance). Many also wear it under the chuppah at weddings and during the Passover Seder to mark new beginnings and freedom.
When should I wear a kittel Jewish tradition?
Traditionally, the kittel is worn on Yom Kippur (by married Ashkenazi men), at the Passover Seder (often by the leader), and under the chuppah by the groom at a Jewish wedding. Some communities also wear it on Rosh Hashanah or during Tefillat Tal/Geshem. It is not typically worn by women or most Sephardim, though white clothing is encouraged for Yom Kippur.
