Long before the novel coronavirus made masks a fashionable part of a respectable wardrobe, Jews were wearing masks on Purim. And a thousand years before that, Moses covered his face with a mask because his face shone so brightly after descending from Mount Sinai (see Exodus 34:29-35).
The word the Torah uses in the latter context is â
masveh.â The word early halachic authorities use in reference to masks on Purim is â
partzufim,â which literally means faces (see
Mahari Mintz 17,
Rema to
Orach Chaim 696:8, and Rabbi Yuzpa Shamashâs account of the old traditions of the Jewish community in Worms).

The accompanying picture was not Photoshopped. It was taken at President Kennedy’s inauguration. He did wear a top hat at least until he was actually sworn in, when he took it off.
That brings us to the topic under discussion. I recently received an interesting email: “Did you ever discuss the inyan of former yeshivaleit who now daven without hats and jackets?”
Without being judgmental, let’s tackle the subject matter.
In the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and all the way through the early 60s, everyone wore a hat. It is a debate among historians as to whether President Kennedy’s example caused the nation to stop wearing hats or the general non-conformity climate in the 1960s. The issue is discussed in Neil Steinberg’s book Hatless Jack: the President, the Fedora, and the History of American Style.
