Small hat, big meaning. In The Kippah in 10 Minutes, we'll explore why Jews wear that little head covering and what it symbolizes. From Talmudic debates about showing respect before God, to medieval rabbis making it a standard practice, to today's wide variety of styles—black velvet, knitted rainbow, sports team logos, or the emergency napkin fold—the kippah has become one of the most recognizable signs of Jewish identity. We'll look at its religious significance, its cultural variations across communities, and even the social statements people make by the type of kippah they choose (or don't choose) to wear. Along the way, we'll sprinkle in a little humor—because let's face it, only Judaism could turn a tiny circle of fabric into centuries of discussion. Ten minutes, one small cap, and a whole lot of tradition, meaning, and personality.
