Joseph: Where did you come to that conclusion? Growing up in Boro Park, in those days most people wore a Kippa Seruga and it wasn’t a big deal about anything. I don’t know who turned the Yarmulka into group symbols but it accomplished dividing people and that’s insidious.
The best yarmulkah to wear is the one that is 1/2 suede and 1/2 kippa serugah. All this nonsense needs to stop.
Without repeating the whole story, remember the one about Moshiach coming and being rejected for what he was wearing and gives up and leaves. Effectively, that is what is being accomplished with all this baloney.
The biggest joke is the one in a Chassidish children’s book that has Moshe Rabbeinu pictured in a Streimel. Everyone who thinks that what is on their head makes them superior to other Frum Jews in a moron.
