Bar Mitzvah Yarmulke
Freehold, NJ
Joshua Z's Father
This yarmulke or kippa was from my father's Bar Mitzvah on May 21, 1983.
This yarmulke is one of the only two yarmulkes that still remain.
Tefillin
USA
Father of Neil K.
Uncle and Father (and perhaps Grandfather) all used this same set of tefillin. It contains a name tag because it was used at a Jewish summer camp in the 1970s.
Tefillin is used by Observant Jews as part of the morning prayers because of the commandment in the Shema v'Ahavta.
