a Hassidic man wearing a shtreimel, drawn with pink chalk on the sidewalk by a little Hassidic boy who was quite delighted with his work. Small Hassidic children only speak Yiddish in this neighbourhood, they learn English and French when they go to school.

Si is for shtreimel

One of the local Hassidic kids made a drawing with their finger in the snow on the hood of this car, of a Hassidic man with a shtreimel. I love his mad/ bemused expression, like he's saying "וואָס ציט איר מיר אויף דעם קאַר?" (What are you drawing me on this car for)
