Note, that the parchment is always sold separately - if there is a piece of paper that comes with the mezzuzah, the chances are it is not a kosher parchment! The first line... Read more »

Kippahs - To Wear or Not to Wear!

The kippah is a Jewish head covering generally worn by a religious Jewish man. You may also see it referred to as a yarmulke.

Wearing kippahs came into practice during medieval times as a way to show respect to God and it is interesting that while for most of the world it is respectful to take your hat or head covering off, in Judaism it is considered respectful to have your head covered! According to the Talmud (Kiddushin... Read more »
