My great aunt, Rebecca, knitted this kippah or yamulke for me to wear at my bris. It is a skullcap worn by Jewish males. She also knitted one for each of my brothers and each of them wore it at his bris. My great aunt Rebecca knitted them and sold them to people in the Jewish community for their male children.

Jewish boys have a bris to keep the covenant that Abraham made with G-d. The Jewish people have kept this covenant since then. A circumcision is the cutting of the foreskin and this is done on the eighth day after the baby's birth.
