Description

In need of a head covering? Get this stylish Kippah for yourself or a friend!


A little info on wearing kippot: The uniqueness of a Jewish head covering is hinted at in the blessing we say every morning, thanking G-d for "crowning Israel with splendor" (Talmud - Brachot 60b)

The Talmud says that the purpose of wearing a kippah is to remind us of G-d, who is the Higher Authority "above us" (Kiddushin 31a). External actions create internal awareness; wearing a symbolic, tangible "something above us" reinforces that idea that G-d is always watching. The kippah is a means to draw out one's inner sense of respect for God.
