A few weeks ago there was a query on the origin of the knitted kippah. In the Hebrew weekly Mazav ha-Ruah מצב הרוח no. 648, 12 Ellul 5781, p. 20, there is an article that suggests that the first knitted kippah or “kippah serugah” was made in Tel Aviv in 1956 by a young wife, Penina Chen-Zion for her husband Ovadiah to whom she is still married . A short while later she knitted one for Rabbi Moshe Tzvi Neriah “father of the Yeshiva high schools” after he saw the Ovadiah’s kippah. Benjamin Richler Jerusalem
