What is Yarmulke?

yarmulke, also called kippah , the skull is traditionally worn by attentive Jews, usually men. It is usually thin and small, but can be made in various substances, colors and samples. Larger Yarmulkes, which cover the whole head almost to the ears, wear certain groups. yarmulke is a yiddish word derived from the Polish word for the "cap". In any case, it is not discussed about a specific type of head cover, but Yarmulke could become the norm because of its small size and comfort. As with many Jewish customs, Yarmulke differs significantly between the names. Some groups, such as haredi, wear relatively uniform Yarmulkes - in this case made of black velvet - while others allow significant personalization. Yarmulkes can be found in all different colors and even decorated with secular paintings, such as the badges of the sports team and cartoon characters. Some Jewish groups protest against this type of Yarmulke.

yarmulke can also be knit or crocheted. Members of Israeli religious Zionists, Breslov Hasidim and cabalistic followers wear relatively large knitted yarmulkes. Bresl Yarmulke is white and wrote a mantra on nachma nachman Me'uman in black Hebrew letters. This sentence refers to Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, founder of the movement. The yarmulke cabalist is usually made of dark colored yarn.

Some Jewish men wear a larger hat over Yarmulk; For example, HAREDILY members wear Fedoras. Jewish women are subject to the same tradition covering their heads as men. Although women in the more traditional Jewish groups can cover their heads with a scarf, scarf or hat, they sometimes wear Yarmulke in unorthodox groups.
