A kippah which is also known as Yarmulke is nothing
but a Jewish men head covering. You can find kippah on the top of the
head of all orthodox. Most of the synagogues keep a stock of the spare
kippot for the people who arrive at the event without a kippah. First of
all, let me tell you that kippah means nothing but dome. The word is
also used for the domed rooftops in Jerusalem and also for the Dome of
rock. You might have noticed lots of debate regarding the different
rabbis and communities about the wearing of kippahs all the time. There
was a statement given by the Maimonides that even though the kippah is
recommended strongly, but it is only required during the prayer time.
Apart from this statement, there was a statement given by some different
community which claimed that it is not necessary to wear kippah indoor.
But
the orthodox Jews try to wear Kippahs wherever they go, irrespective of
the occasion or event. You will be amazed to know that any sort of head
covering will serve the purpose of wearing kippah. The difference in
style of kippah signifies about the type of branch and community of
Judaism do they belong. If you are talking about Israel, then let me
tell you that the style of kippah is something more than just a fashion
style. It gives a direct message to the viewers about your personal
identity of Jewish.
Mentioned below are some different types of kippah that is found in the market. They are:
• Leather Kippahs
– If you are planning to visit a wedding then wearing a normal kippah
will not match with your new attire. Thus, you can easily opt for the
customized leather kippahs as per the attire of your wedding.
• Suede kippahs – The Suede kippahs
are very much common among the modern Orthodox, who is also
conservative and reform communities. Let me tell you that it can be used
by anyone and it does not have much significance.
• Sport Kippahs –
The Jewish people believe that the blessing of God should always be
showered among them, even in the field of sports. For those categories
of people, the sport kippahs are also available in the market.
You
can wear kippahs based on the occasion and event. Moreover, if you are
not satisfied with the one that is available in the market, then you can
also opt for the customized ones.
