In keeping with pop legend Britney Spears' penchant for posting seemingly random images on her social media, the star posted a photo of a group of Hasidic men playing chess over the weekend with the caption, "I like the beard !!!"

While it was unclear whether Spears posted the photo because of the Hasidic subjects or in keeping with her newfound interest in chess, the singer also tagged a Chabad-adjacent account, COLLive, which posts about Chabad engagements and cultural events.

The unexpected post drew a flurry of discussion on social media, including from Jewish comedian Eitan Levine who raised the question: "Does Britney Spears have a Chabad fetish?"

"Britney Spears shared a picture of Chabad Chassidim playing chess to her 41 million instagram followers," tweeted Dovid Bashevkin, the director of education for NCSY, the youth movement of the Orthodox Union. "Appreciate you @britneyspears — the Jewish People could use some positivity!"
