Editing Fedora (section)

== In religious communities ==
=== Orthodox Jews ===
Devout [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox Jewish]] men fulfil their [[Jewish religious clothing|religious obligation]] of head-covering with the hats similar to the fedora, a [[Western world|Western]]-invented headgear. [[Lithuanian Jews|Lithuanian]] {{lang|he-Latn|[[yeshiva]]}} students in the first half of 20th century wore light hats during prayer and sometimes even while studying, as evident in a rare footage of the [[Ponevezh Yeshiva]] and a photo of the [[Lomza Yeshiva]], both in Eastern Europe. Both the footage and the photo show students studying in their hats. Hasidic Jews wore black hats, albeit not fedoras, and in the later half of the 20th century, non-Hasidic (Lithuanian style) {{lang|he-Latn|yeshiva}} students began to wear black fedoras (or dark blue or gray). Today, many {{lang|he-Latn|yeshiva}} students and Orthodox men wear black fedoras for prayer and many even while walking outside.
