A heartwarming video captured a 13-year-old boy wearing a shtreimel, a traditional fur hat, on his head during his Bar Mitzvah celebration. The event, held in the Mashkenot HaRo'im community, was attended by numerous Rebbes and prominent rabbis. The Bar Mitzvah boy stood out as he donned the shtreimel, adhering to an ancient Jerusalem custom where young men wear the hat from the age of mitzvot, rather than waiting until after marriage.
