The English letters are stitched in a hand-lettered style and stacked so their outline forms the six points of the star.

- A blue and white look using the white linen, white leather or blue linen option
- Fathers and sons matching, with dome sizes 1 to 6 and flats to 20cm
- Someone who wants the phrase readable in English at a glance
Not the right choice if
- A yeshiva that requires a plain black kippah
- Anyone who wants the words in Hebrew; see the Am Yisroel Chai script version
- A large-headed adult needing size 7 or 22cm; the range stops at 6 and 20cm flat
- A kippah with no message; the lettering is the whole design
Why customers choose it
The words Am Yisrael Chai have become a rallying cry, and this kippah turns them into a symbol by shaping the letters into a Star of David. It is readable to anyone, not just Hebrew readers, which is why many people choose it for marches and public events. Six fabrics let you pick how it reads: white and blue linen for an Israeli-flag look, black linen or denim for daily wear, and the two-tone navy and white panel for something a little different.

Which option looks most like the Israeli flag?
The white linen or white leather option with royal blue thread, or the royal blue linen with white thread.
What is the navy paneled option?
