Something from the homeland

Among many of the treasures I have collected from random people who have weaved their way in then out of my life is a four inch in diameter woven cloth with a black bobby pin clasped around the fabric. It’s a perfect forest green colored circle with red and yellow thread creating beautifully hand crafted patterns within the tiny Yarmulke. This beautify piece of work was given to me by a close friend who I had done many shows with at the Rose Theater in Omaha including several touring shows based out of the children’s theater. While visiting Israel she passed a cart of hand crafted intricately woven yarmulkes when she came upon one that really caught her eye and decided to purchase it for me. Which to me not only had great significance to me because it was something a close friend had thought enough of me to purchase, this tiny Kippah represents much more than that to me, it’s a symbol of the common heritage that we both have that serves to bind us to a common ancestor, all the way back to Abraham even if you believe the stories.
