1000 Years of Hanukkah in Jewish historical costume!
Let's celebrate 1000 years of the history of Hanukkah in historical costumes! Some Hanukkah traditions are over two thousand years old, and throughout Jewish history new Hanukkah celebrations have been invented. I dressed up in historical outfits from the last 1000 years to try out different Hanukkah celebration activities for each night.
Getting dressed in the middle ages, while Jewish
How would a medieval Jew dress? Historical Jewish fashion varied, in England, and Spain, and everywhere else. It depended on when and where they lived, how well the Jewish community was treated, and that Jew's status within their community and the wider world. We'll take an in-depth look at the historical costumes of two 11th century Jewish women : An Ashkenazi Norman English Jew, and a Sephardic Jew living in Islamic-ruled Iberia (present-day Spain).
