Explanation for those who don't get it:
Inner kippa design -- זה בשבילי "This is for me"
Outer design (making kipa bigger) -- וזה בשביל הרב "This is for [my] Rav...
When my teen son saw this picture, he immediately wanted one.
sigh.
Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael
You also crochet?!
ReplyDeletelol!! I just saw that kippa yesterday!
ReplyDeleteIs it significant that 'mine' is orange and 'the rabbi's' is black?
ReplyDeleteIroni: No, there's zero connection between the colors. My son (who's a relatively "orange" kind of person...) wants it in red and black - only 'cause he likes those colors.
ReplyDeleteTafka pp: LOL! No, can't crochet...there are many other things I should be doing before even thinking about crocheting.
Mike: yes, all 3.
that's an awesome kippa. Maybe I'll see it in jlem this weekend.
ReplyDeletewhat mike said!
ReplyDelete(and reminds me that i haven't crocheted a kippa in about 5 years!)
Mike Miller-great description of this new trend.
ReplyDeleteJameel-Well they still want to wear a kippah, albeit a small one, that's something….
Isn’t it?
My brother wants one too.
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute when they're trying to pretend they're not as frum as they are.
My rebbi complained about 'the half-dollar size 'kipot.
ReplyDeleteMike said it best. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteA first I wanted to know who HERB was? and why he needed part of a kippah.
ReplyDeletebut then I relized - all this is, is a variation of a timly old question: Does size really matter??
Interesting to note that here in the US, as far back as in the 70's, knitted yarmulkas were forbidden in some of the more RW yeshivos (like mine). One of the primary reasons quoted was because of the size, or lack thereof. As I recall, the "In Thing" in those days were what we called "Pepsi Cola Yarmulkas" because they were only a fraction larger than a Pepsi Cola bottle cap.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some "interesting" small yarmulkas that aren't shaped like circles... i think it was a triangle, and a square... maybe a magein david shaped one would be cool :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mike, but then again, maybe "mitoch shelo lishma, ba lishma"
ReplyDeleteI like
ReplyDeleteI think I should ask Mike to guest post since his comments are so popular :)

LOL. I want one too, and I am female.
