When should they be worn?

How important are they, really?

This masterful presentation is full of history, law, amusing and fascinating anecdotes, and much more. Written in a clear and user-friendly style by master educator Rabbi Moshe Becker, The Kippah teaches all about Yarmulkes, Judaism – and life.
