This question has been burning inside me for some time now. I hope someone can answer…. Did Rashi wear an up-hat, down-hat, or shtreimel?
The answer is… all of the above.
The up-hat wearers will tell you he only wore an up-hat. The down-hat wearers will tell you that he only wore a down-hat, and streimel wearers will tell you that he wore only a streimel.
And since we say “eilu v’eilu…” they’re all correct. 🙂
