Re: Wimpel instead of Gartel
Is this for use on sifrei torah, not on male adults?
My maternal side is Yekke and the Wimpelim from all the brisim have been cleaned, embroidered and used on sifrei torah for generations. I have two sifrei torah from the bungalow colony my grandparents owned decades ago. They are tied with the Wimpelim from my older brother and my Brisim.
No male on that side of the family ever wore a gartel to my knowledge. That’s for Chasidim.
