Question
Hello, Regarding Passover, Ashkenazim have the custom of wearing a kittel on the night of the Seder. 1. Is it customary to also go to the evening prayer in a kittel? 2. Does only the leader of the Seder wear it, or do all the participants? 3. Do Ashkenazim also customarily wear a white kippah?
Answer
Hello
1. It is not customary to wear it except during the Seder itself.
2. There are different customs among Ashkenazi communities. In any case, only married men wear it.
3. The ancient custom also included wearing a white kippah, and some still follow this. [From what I have seen, this custom mainly remains among Jews in the diaspora].
