To respond in part to Lisa Silverman's question: - When was the practice of wearing knitted or patterned kippot begun in North America?
I recall this issue being addressed in a Jewish history university course I took in the early 2000s. It appears to have become more widespread and overt at around the time of and after the 6-Day-War in Israel (1967) -- apparently, as a sign of Jewish pride. But not long before then it was in vogue for men to wear hats. During that extended hat-wearing period, the open display of kippot was less of an issue. Anecdotally speaking, my grandfather, who was born in 1904 in Poland and died in the US in 1998, never felt comfortable wearing his "kapl" (kippah) in public settings that were not purely Jewish. Having experienced the Holocaust first-hand, he was always acutely conscious of anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, we seem to have returned to an era in which many Jews no longer feel secure enough to wear kippot or other open displays of their Jewish identity (e.g., Stars of David and Chai necklaces).

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, or adaptive equipment (ie: wheelchair) to represent their ethnicity, culture, physical handicap, etc., but non-Hasidic Jews look like most other people. A kippah is one way to distinguish male Jews. That's my observation, but the illustrators may have their own reasons.

We recently received a gift copy from the son of the author of Escape to Albania. These stories of Albanian heroism, not commonly known, should be told again and again. You can read more about it on Goodreads athttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27742243-escape-to-albania. I'm seeking your experiences with online subscriptions to magazines such as the Forward and Moment for your synagogues. I have a personal subscription to The Forward but I'm not willing to share that with the institution. Thanks, Diane Diane Wolf Congregation Beth Shalom Library Wilmington DE USA [email protected] 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 public, on Shabbat or holidays or during Jewish activities. There is a range of practices at the temples around Seattle. I see alot of kippot during services, but definitely not all. Some only on the bima; some only if reading from the Torah, some children do. There is no requirement. Kippot are always available. Children are not required to wear kippot at religious school. Some teachers and students do wear them. Because Reform Jews are open to such a range of practices, I don't think kids would be confused. That said, they might be more confused when they see only the men wear kippot and not any women. I think illustrators/publishers add them to ensure easy identification of a Jewish character, for diversity, windows or mirror purposes but that sets up a false stereotype in many ways. I may point out when I see an obvious Jew (because of the kippa) in an illustration during storytimes, which could lead to a discussion. For some Reform Jews, illustrations like that might signal that the book is for an Orthodox or Conservative community. I wish they could be more creative and add some Jewish objects to the mix instead of always kippot, such as a character wearing a Star of David or a CHAI, a dreidel or menorah sitting on a table, sharing challah, lots of other ways to indicate a Jew. But many illustrations are not Jewish or familiar with Jewish identity or ritual. Thanks for these great questions. I hope others will speak up.

After Israeli Independence youngsters started wearing blue and white kippot. Before the late 1960's very few people wore kippot in public. Observant men would wear a hat in public and put on a kipah when indoors. In Germany Orthodox men would put on kippot when studying Jewish texts, but not during general studies. I hope that helps.

It seems that children's illustrators are putting kippot on most of the men and boys in Jewish-themed books, and I assume it is to make them acceptable to all denominations. But I find this a rather false narrative in many of these books. For instance, there is a lovely new picture book about Rabbi Joachim Prinz and how he was a civil rights activist and spoke at the March on Washington, but he is wearing a very visible kippah there at the Lincoln Memorial, and photos of him at the time do not reflect that. Here are my questions for anyone who can help--- and certainly one person would not have to answer all of them-- - Would Joachim Prinz be wearing a kippa at any time in public? - Do any Jews affiliated with the Reform or Progressive movements ever wear kippot in public? - Do Reform Jews wear kippot at all times in the synagogue? Do they have kids wear them at Hebrew school? - Would a book be too confusing to children if some men at, say, a sukkot gathering, wear a kippah and some do not? - Do Orthodox or more observant denominations only buy picture books if all the men and boys wear kippot? Or do they not buy picture books from secular publishers anyway? - When was the practice of wearing knitted or patterned kippot begun in North America? thank you in advance for any light that can be shed on this!
