Brooklyn Talmudical Academy, my late Aunt Rosalind Lauer made a knitted Kippah
for me. It was blue with a red band running around it near the edge.

I don't have the answers to your questions, but I do have a possible reason
for why illustrators are putting kippot on characters.
With the call for more diverse books, a kippah is an easy way to indicate
that a character is Jewish. Other diverse groups have varying skin tones,
clothing,
I am a Reform Jew. I would say there are not many Reform Jews who wear
kippot in public but some do for teaching, shul and maybe at other times.
There certainly are lots of Reform Jews of both genders who wear kippot and
tallit at services. There may be some Reform rabbis who wear them in

I am a librarian at a Reform congregation. The library has a collection of
kippot from bar/bat mitzvah and wedding celebrations. I don't know the

Hello Safranim,
I received many replies to my questions about kippot in children's books and I
had started a document where I was adding everyone's comments, but it got very
long and I began to realize that many replies were similar anyway. So, for
those of you who were interested in the genera
Thanks, Lisa, for this information. When I was at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin in
1966, knitting a kippah for one’s boyfriend was already a fad (is that word
even used any more?) The more intricate the pattern, often including a Hebrew
name in Hebrew letters, the better. Debbie Colodny
