A kittel is a long, white, robe-like garment worn by Jewish men on special occasions or during prayer services. Typically made of lightweight, breathable cotton or linen, it has long sleeves, a collar, and a button-up front. The kittel is often associated with the High Holy Days, particularly Yom Kippur, as well as weddings and other significant religious events. It is intended to represent purity, humility, and devotion to God, and is worn as a symbol of respect and reverence. In some communities, the kittel is also worn by grooms at their wedding ceremonies, and by some rabbis during their teachings.
