Description
The Am Yisroel Chai Kippah is a four-panel yarmulke with עם ישראל חי embroidered in Hebrew cursive script, offered in 6 fabric options and 12 sizes (dome 1 to 8 plus 16, 18, 20 and 22cm flat) at $9.99. The words run in one line along the lower front of the kippah, in handwriting-style letters rather than block print. Each fabric gets its own thread: black cotton twill with white, navy leather with silver, navy suiting with white, slate grey linen with sky blue, oatmeal tan linen with navy, and soft black jersey with aqua. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping nationwide.

Best for
- Men who want the phrase in Hebrew, written the way it is handwritten
- A dressier message kippah, using the navy suiting or navy leather option
- Large heads, since this design runs to size 8 and a 22cm flat
- Summer wear in the slate or tan linen options
Not the right choice if
- Someone who wants the words readable to non-Hebrew readers
- A plain black-velvet-only yeshiva
- A child who wants a bright picture; this is lettering only
- You want the lettering large and centred; it is a single line near the edge
Why customers choose it
This is the understated way to wear Am Yisroel Chai. The Hebrew is written in cursive, the script people actually write by hand, and it sits in one line near the rim rather than across the crown. Pairing the phrase with fabrics like navy suiting and navy leather means it can go to shul in a suit, while the jersey and linen versions suit weekdays and summer. The size run, up to 8 and a 22cm flat, is unusually wide.

Frequently asked questions
Is the lettering printed or embroidered?
Embroidered. The Hebrew script is stitched in a contrasting thread on each fabric.
Which thread colour comes on each fabric?
Black cotton has white, navy leather has silver, navy suiting has white, slate linen has sky blue, tan linen has navy and black jersey has aqua.
What is the difference between this and the Am Israel Chai kippah?
That one uses English letters shaped into a Star of David. This one writes the phrase in Hebrew cursive along the front.
Does it come in large sizes?
Yes. Dome sizes go up to 8, and flat cuts go up to 22cm, which is larger than most message kippot.
Which option is dressiest?
The navy suiting or the navy leather. Both look smart with a dark suit.
