Belz: Restoring the Glory of Old
After years of wearing a kolpik for the hadlakah, the Rebbe shlita will now be wearing a spodik
Last night, the Belzer Rebbe shlita appeared in his Beis Medrash wearing a spodik for the hadlakah.
Up until now, the Rebbe would wear a kolpik, however from now on he will wear a spodik as it has lately been discovered that before the Holocaust, tzaddikim would wear spodiks for the hadlakah, and not kolpiks.
The Rebbe asked his assistant to order a spodik for him earlier this week, and last night he wore it for the first time.
For those who don't know the difference between a spodik and a kolpik: the spodik is made out of tails from an animal called 'fischer', while the kolpik is made out of the fur of an animal called 'soyval'.
