  1. Bryan

    The book provides several sources from the Mishnah, Gemara, Tanakh and general rabbinic literature along with good and funny stories about the importance the kippah had on the Jewish community. However, despite its short pages, the author was repetitive about the same points in different chapters.

  2. Ephraim

    Engaging broad based text analysis that is easy to read. Asks and answers interesting questions on the impact and the importance of this Minhag Yisrael.

  3. Jimmy Stone

    fascinating book. Covers the history, significance and customs of what is one of the most famous Jewish symbols… very readable!

  4. Mordechai

    Good things do come in small packages.
    The author did a perfect job in creating this little one of a kind little masterpiece. Very comprehensive, honest and open and authoritative conversation on the Lippman – for everyone. Bought a few more for friends.
