What does KIPPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, round cap traditionally worn by Jewish men and boys, especially during prayer and religious observance.
A kippa is worn on the crown of the head as a sign of respect and awareness of a higher presence, and many observant Jewish men wear one throughout the day rather than only during prayer. In Yiddish the same cap is known by another name, yarmulke, and English speakers use both words for the identical piece of headwear. Kippas come in many colors and materials, from simple black cloth to knitted patterns that can identify a particular community or occasion. Some congregations keep a basket of spare caps at the entrance so visitors can wear a kippa out of respect during a service.
