I believe it's only the Chassidic Jews who wear that. That movement was founded by Yisrael ben Eliezer (otherwise known as the Baal Shem Tov). I think it's only the Ultra-Orthodox Jews who wear the furry hats. I'm still tryina find out why. hope this helped

I went to college with Orthodox Jews, and also you doesn't were waiting to inform the enormous difference between them and the different youthful ones, except that the lads wore kippot and the girls wore skirts each of the time. as a rule, it really is Chareidi Jews who dress that way, and it really is continuously for applications of modesty (now to not be showy) and in view that it really is custom. different Chassidic dynasties placed on different black hats--they don't all placed on a similar form, and some will in person-friendly words placed on a particular form, so it is also a mark of id with a particular team.

The orthodox males dress in black because that is the way their culture and customs are.
