Wow, what a great collection, Lynn :D That women wear these caps too is news to me - never knew that before you shared it! I also didn't realize they could be so colorful - I've only seen the B&W ones. Great shot and history lesson - thanks for sharing this special part of your family with us :) TFS - kimB
So wonderful that you keep them all together and can tell the story of each one. From your description, I am trying to determine if you and your DD wear one or not.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I never knew you had different Yarmulkes for different occasions. Do you have any from yours or your husbands childhood?
Cleaned out the drawer today and found we have MANY Yarmulkes :) The explaination of what they are is below for those of you who do not know. In this drawer we have one from all the major occasions in our lives (weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc.) as well as a few stray we've picked up here or there. They are something of a keepsake when kept from special occasions. The tiny one that's gold & white crochetting has velcro inside and was for my DS on the occasion of his bris (when he was only 8 days old). On the far end of the top drawer the other gold and white crochetted one was the one my MIL made for DH to wear at our wedding.
A kippah (Hebrew: kippa, plural kippot. Yiddish: kapele "small cap", though more often yarmulke sometimes rendered yarmelke or yarmulka, from the Polish jarmulka) is a thin, slightly-rounded skullcap traditionally worn at all times by Orthodox Jewish men and often by both men and women in Conservative and Reform communities during services.
