A
Kippah (pronounced kee-pah) is the Hebrew word for skullcap, a “head covering”
traditionally worn by Jewish men. It is to be worn at the apex of a person’s
head. After the Star of David, it is one of the most recognizable symbols of
Jewish identity.
Orthodox
Jews usually wear a kippah all the time. In Conservative Judaism, men wear them
during religious services or during formal occasions, such as a Bar Mitzvah or
High Holiday.
Traditionally
the yarmulke is conservative and black. But today they come in many sizes and
colors. Visit any local Judaica shop or a market in Jerusalem and you will see
a rainbow of colors and every team logo imaginable.
