The HASIDIC shtern (sukkah star) || special holiday ART

Let me introduce you to the #shtern! A different kind of Jewish star!

In this video, I will tell you all about the special paper art called "shtern". I will explain its religious application, my own experience with shterns, and most of all, I will show you how to make a shtern!

I love the shtern because it's one of those things that many Hasidic women make. There are many lively things in the world of #Hasidic women that never get noticed for its creativity and cultural importance, and for me, the shtern is one of them. It was a way I channeled my own #creative energy and it created a very warm holiday experience.

The pictures in this video are my home photos.

In the making of this video, I began to wonder what the origin of the shtern technique is. I have not yet investigated it but would welcome your input! Any comments, ideas, information that can answer the question would be wonderful.
