"Some Muslims wear a kippah equivalent called a topi." - This statement is misleading, Majority if not all muslims wear Kippah or Topi before prayers. - alif
Is anyone else besides me offended by the fact that people might actually be searching for the term "Jew Hat"? To me, it would be like searching for "Christ dude on a plus sign" and coming up with the page for a crucifix.
Most non-Jewish people don’t know what it’s called. “Jew Hat” may be the only thing some folks can think to search for. Patronsaintofweird ( talk) 23:11, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
I can't find any other comments on this, so.... Could someone perhaps find a more neutral photograph than the one of the kids wearing kippot at a seder? The left-hand boy looks like he's about to burst into tears, the middle one is smiling awkwardly (reluctantly?), and the right-hand one is scowling aggressively at the camera. The overall impression is that they've been forced to put the things on just for the picture and can't wait to tear them off again once the whole performance is over! 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 13:52, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
For my own safety I don't wear the Kippah outside the Synagogue. It so happen that more Muslims live in the close proximity where I live due to the immigration wave.

Why is it so hard to even find the usual English term "yarmulke" in this article? From the way the intro is set up you would almost think that "yarmulke" was just some weird pronunciation of kippa.-- Khajidha ( talk) 23:32, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

This news article Hate crime seems to indicate that two female Reform Jews in Manchester, UK, including an Associate Rabbi, are wearing the kippah on the street. Might be worth including in the article as it seems to differ from the men only references, unless it is really unusual. Jontel ( talk) 16:56, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
Appended to this sentence in the text "Another suggested etymology of yarmulke is the Latin word for an ecclesiastical hood worn in the medieval church" comes a footnote in which Another suggested etymology of yarmulke is the Latin word for an ecclesiastical hood worn in the medieval church" is a footnote in which David L. Gold's article in mentioned.
He merely mentioned Plaut's untenable Latin etymology. He did not quote it approvingly.
Indeed, speakers of Yidish are unlikely in the extreme to have had any contact with Latin and even more unlikely (if such is imaginable) to adopt the name of an article of clothing that plays a role in the Roman Catholic religion as a name of an article of clothing that plays a role in the Jewish religion.
The immediate source of the regional Eastern Yidish word is יאַרמלקע therefore likely to be one or more other Jewish languages(the Jewish Aramaic folk etymology mentioned in the text is untenable), presumably a Jewish correlated of a Turkic language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:6FC0:100:1D5C:CE26:54F2:A122 ( talk) 18:04, 20 October 2020 69.204.226.128 ( talk) 19:47, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
There is mention of ancient head covering, and there is mention of the Jewish hat common in the European Middle Ages. But there is nothing about the history of the round flat kippa shape as used in the modern era. Surely this has been studied. Zero talk 02:54, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
