Well, summer is upon us and with Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) just around the corner on Sept. 14 & 15 this year, my attention is turned to beautiful, handcrafted kippot (yarmulkes). Over the last year I have taken to studying & exploring Judaism and I've fallen in love with it. It makes me so happy! I've even made a couple of kippot, including this tiny one! Read on to learn more about Fair Trade Kippot and the beauty that is MayaWorks.org. Disclaimer: Links in this post are NOT affiliate! I just wrote about this because I loved it! I learned about MayaWorks while attending a lecture at a local synagogue. The featured speaker was Danny Siegel, who is a lifelong activist, author and speaker. He is an expert on microphilanthropy. He was brought in to inspire the youth of the synagogue to embrace tikkun olam, the concept of taking responsibility to make the world a better place. During his speech, he talked about many things, but the one that touched my crafting heart the most was his description of MayaWorks, which is an organization that facilitates fair trade crafts in order to empower women in Guatamala. Danny had examples of beautiful kippot that he would sell the following day (as doing business is forbidden on the Sabbath). I loved and adored not only the beautifully handcrafted, colorful crocheted pieces, but also the idea that through our purchases and support of the organization that we would be making a positive impact in the lives of women in a country where handcrafts are not highly valued. Gorgeous Crocheted & Embroidered Olive Branch Kippa MayaWorks is about helping women to use their skills to make money to support their families. I have traveled to small towns in the Mexican countryside and I've met craftspeople who weave rugs, make pottery, and do intricate beading. The amount of work and skill needed to complete these works of art is very high, yet the price (to a U.S. American) is very low. Considering the economy is different in these places, it is easy to see how importing goods from areas like this and charging a fair price in the United States can mean a complete change of lifestyle for these people. MayaWorks has a lot of great programs, and you should absolutely visit their website to learn more about them. I just wanted to mention one program that touched my heart, and that is their education program. As I mentioned in a previous post, education is a basic human right. Yet for many people, access to a quality education is not a reality. That is why I was thrilled to hear that MayaWorks supports the women in their partner communities by providing literacy classes, scholarships for the daughters of the artisans, and other educational support. Look at these gorgeous kippot! So what about you, my friends? Are you excited for Yom Kippur? Have you ever crocheted a kippa? What do you think of the wonderful MayaWorks and their beautiful kippot?

Do not hesitate to write to me in private for clarification or selection of another size or color combination. In the shortest possible time, I will be happy to fulfill your order! The Jewish head covering's uniqueness can be understood from the blessing recited each morning that thanks God for crowning Israel with splendor. Many question the rationale behind covering the head, whether at home, in the street, or at work. The Talmud teaches us that wearing the kippah serves as a reminder that God is the supreme authority above us. By placing something tangible and symbolic on our heads, it reinforces the idea that God is constantly watching us. Therefore, the kippah expresses a deep sense of respect for God. While it is easy to think of God in the synagogue or during Shabbat, ideally, awareness of our Jewish identity should permeate every aspect of our lives, including our relationships, business conduct, and worldview. Interestingly, the Yiddish word for headgear, "yarmulke," originates from the Aramaic phrase "yira malka," meaning "fear of the king." In Hebrew, the headgear is called "kippah," which translates to "dome." Being assertive in wearing the kippah is a way of expressing pride in being Jewish. Non-observant Jews often wear the kippah when visiting Israel, possibly due to the belief that the entire land is as holy as a synagogue, or because the embarrassment of expressing their Jewishness in the diaspora is eliminated. Wearing the kippah also signifies an obligation to adopt a certain level of behavior. One must think twice before cutting in line at the bank or reprimanding an incompetent waiter. Wearing the kippah makes us ambassadors of the Torah and influences how others perceive Jews. The actions of a person wearing the kippah can either sanctify or desecrate the divine name. However, simply wearing a kippah does not automatically make us role models. Unfortunately, there have been instances where someone who wore a kippah has committed wrongdoing. For centuries, it has been customary for Jewish men to wear a kippah in all circumstances, as stated in the Code of Jewish Law. Should one wear a kippah while participating in sports? This question has arisen due to the attention received by Tamir Goodman, an observant Jewish basketball player causing a stir in the United States. It is preferable to wear a kippah, even a small one attached with velcro straps, while playing sports. However, if it is not feasible due to conditions or game rules, it is acceptable to play without a kippah. When swimming or bathing, a kippah should not be worn. However, it is mandatory to wear a head covering when praying or studying the Torah. In a synagogue, it is more respectful to use a simple kippah. Attention! For sizes XS, S, M, clips are required to secure on the head. Size L may require clips. It depends on the amount of hair on the head. Sizes XL and XXL are anatomically shaped and fit perfectly on a shaved head, smooth hair or if you have a lot of really puffy curly hair - so no clips are needed. Large size XL and XXL stays on the head without clips. No more sweating in the warm weather since the natural cotton yarn is lightweight and lets the head breathe. Great for kids or grownups. Soft and comfortable kippah fits snugly but not tight. A bale of this size remains on the head without slipping and without needing to be adjusted. NOTE: A small metal Star of David decoration is attached to the kippah. If necessary, it can be carefully separated without damaging the bale and used for subsequent purposes. The shape, color may differ slightly from the photo, it depends on the delivery lot. Available in white and copper colors. Either way, it looks great! The location of the jacquard pattern on the kippah may change. It depends on the size of kippah. But it will always be very beautiful (combination of color and weave will be respected). Color may vary slightly. It depends on your monitor settings.

"A lovely woman in my knit and crochet group suggested we make Yarmulkes and send them to Tree of Life Synagogue to show love, friendship, and solidarity. I thought that was a perfect idea! I made a few single crochet versions and then decided I wanted to make some that were more “me”. So I came up with the Six Post Yarmulke. It’s made out of post stitches and features six increases in each round to symbolize the six points of the Star of David. The pattern will work with nearly any yarn in any weight up to DK or Worsted (yarn that is too thick will make a VERY thick Yarmulke.) Just choose your yarn and a coordinating hook, then follow the pattern and just keep going until you’ve reached the size you want. Happy crocheting, and use or gift your Yarmulke in peace and friendship."
