Britney Spears’ Instagram Post Sparks Speculation About interest in hasidic Community
NEW YORK – A recent Instagram post by pop star Britney Spears featuring a photo credit to a Chabad-affiliated account has ignited online discussion about a possible, albeit unconventional, interest in the Hasidic Jewish community.The post,noticed by comedian Eitan Levine and reported by The Forward,has led to speculation about whether Spears is exploring a connection to Orthodox Judaism.
Spears credited COLlive,a website and social media account known for covering Chabad news and events,including engagement announcements and celebrations at the Ohel – the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s grave – for an image she shared. While Spears does not currently follow the account, the credit sparked intrigue given its focus on a specific branch of orthodox Judaism.
The speculation intensified with a separate post from two weeks prior, featuring a vintage image of a chess tournament. Spears accompanied the image with a lengthy caption expressing fascination with the game, writing, “Is it because people care???” and questioning why the game transports her “to another world.” Levine jokingly suggested Spears might be seeking a “bearded orthodox Jew to teach her” chess.
the incident highlights Spears’ increasingly eclectic Instagram feed, which features a mix of personal artwork, AI-generated images, and seemingly random observations. While the nature of her interest remains unclear, the post has generated buzz and raised questions about a potential, unexpected connection to the hasidic community.
