while I was resting, I learned how to make kippah (:

I definitely would make a pride one for myself, I just need to choose which one it'll be

Did I ever post pictures of all the pride flag variant kippot? I started of making the custom flags so I could get pictures and there were SO MANY and I LOVE that for us. Yes, we all stand under the rainbow, yes all non-cis genders are included under the trans pride flag, but also! It! Is! So! Good! To be seen for who you are and to have a way to identify people whose lived experience is close to your own. That's so good! It's so validating!

So here is my gallery of colors:

WAIT I HAVE TOO MANY.

Yarmulke from Galicia, 18th - 19th century, from the National Museum in Cracow.

Yarmulke is a Yiddish word, deriving from the Polish/Ukrainian Yarmulka. By the 1500’s, the highly symbolic cap was accepted among Jews as the proper religious dress throughout the day. In Eastern Europe, it was either round or had a small point on it, and was sewn from various kinds of materials in different colors. Especially festive yarmulkes were white, or made of shpanyer arbet, a kind of open lace made from cords wrapped with gold or silver flat wire or thread.

I decided to wear my kippah every Shabbos from now on. I´m not brave enough yet to wear it outside or around my family but I will do it at home. It´s the small steps~
