Kippah Yarmulke
The Meaning Behind Popular Jewish Gift ItemsTo say that the Jewish humans have a great deal of traditions is a big understatement. They have a number of holidays; Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukah, those are only the famous ones, there are a heap of others. Not to mention Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, weddings etc., You may just imagina that this translates to a lot of gift giving. There is normally a symbolic gift item or two for each Jewish occasion, and here are a heap of very interesting facts behind them. Benchers - A bencher or "birchon" is a Jewish prayer booklet. It may comprise a number of prayers and songs for Jewish occasions. The most mutual one is the "Birkat Hamazon" or Grace After Meals. Praying after meals comes from a passage in the Bible, in Deuteronomy 8:10 which says, "When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He gave you". Benchers are often adorned with dissimilar artistic designs and are quintessentially given aways as gifts for the duration of weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. Kippahs - Kippahs are the skullcaps which have come to typify the Orthodox Jewish man. Kippahs, also known as yarmulke, are worn because Jewish persons believe that it is a way of honoring God. It is, as Rabbi Hunah ben Joshua explained, "Because the Divine Presence is always over my head." Kippahs come in a potpourri of colors, designs and fabrics. However, children's kippot with designs that do not conform to conventional Jewish values are not allowed. Mezuzah cases - A mezuzah case is a container for a mezuzah, which is a piece of parchment which has Hebrew verses written on it. The mezuzah is placed on the doors of a Jewish home, with the exception of the bathroom door. Nowadays, it is distinctively placed on the front door only. It is said that the mezuzah protects the inhabitants of the house by placing them beneath God's care. Seder plates - Seder plates are employed to serve symbolic foods for the duration of the commemoration of Passover. Six feed items are placed on the place, each with it's own symbolic signification to the Exodus. The six symbolic foods are:
Menorahs - The Chanukah menorah is in all probability the most recognizable Jewish artifact. It is a candle holder with nine branches, with one candle lit for each night of Chanukah. The story of Chanukah has it that after the re-dedication of the Holy Temple, the Jews found only sufficient oil for the menorah to burn for one day. Miraculously, the oil continued burning for eight more days, which was just sufficient time for new oil to be made. The ninth candle, the shamash, is employed to light the other candles and is commonly placed in a higher position than the other candles. Menorahs come in a potpourri of styles as well, like a model firetruck and one which uses flickering electric light bulbs rather of candles.

Do Gay Jewish Men wear Kippah / Yarmulke? If they do, do they commonly wear bright colourful ones? answer: Jewish men wear the kippah (some Reform don't but the majority of Reform Jews I recognise do wear the kippah when at synagogue and for the duration of prayers). The choice of colors is up to each person - I've seen white, blue, black, brown, rainbow - personal choice Asking a question of Jews on the Sabbath means you ought to wait for awhile before closing the question. |
