In all my writing and thinking- I'm just realizing that the kittel seems to have really slipped the awareness of much of the American Jewish Community. I don't know much about it, nor do I know what sort of place it has, besides as being a matter of custom. All I know is that many men wear them at Seder, Yom Kippur, marriage and into the grave. I think that one wears one only after marriage, except for if one is leading the service, but I know no one who owns one who isn't married, and almost no one who uses one except if it's loaned to them for leading a high holiday service anyways. I'm not sure what sort of egalitarian consciousness one can bring to the garment at all- if grooms wear them to teh wedding, ought a truly egalitarian bride? I mean, that statement of mortality is pretty much exactly counter to a lot of the messages that I see in bridal gowns. What Do female corpses get dressed in for burial? I'm just realizing that I know practically Nothing on this topic. Time to do some research I guess.
