A Brief History of Head Coverings for Prayer
For a long time, Jewish men have worn head coverings to pray. First, they wore hats. Then, they began wearing kippot (skull caps)—mostly black, sometimes white, but always plain. Not long after, modern conservatives and some modern orthodox men added color and texture to their kippot. They were woven or crocheted, and they included embroidered Hebrew names and, for the bold ones, emblems of local sports teams.
More recently, women have taken their place alongside men at the bimah (altar), but the kippot have, for the most part, remained masculine. With Gloria's Kippot, here, finally, is a kippah that looks like a piece of sparkling jewelry, allowing women to embrace their tradition while still looking very feminine.
