I was at a wedding all day yesterday. It was the second time I've worn a Yarmulka since my cousin Jake's barmitzvah over a decade ago. My little Ezra was the ring bearer and he liked his little hat.. only they called them Kipies? something in Russian.. maybe they were trying to say caps. It was a very pretty outdoor Jewish/Russian/American ceremony

Maybe they meant "kippa", as in "kefar", which is "To cover" in Hebrew.

Yeah thats likey. Allot of the Hewbrew goes through some major transformations when it gets transated over thousands of years into Russian, then to American English. For instance.. Tuba Time was what they called the signing of the covenent. (katuva? time) ;)
There are allot of traditions i personally enjoyed like the two fathers cutting a loaf of bread together (cutting a convenant) and then we all ate the bits probably as witnesses.

Oh.. I dunno, Son of my right hand. Probably in our old RC days. Back when my best man was your best closetmate. I remember talking about it cause I remember talking about your dad being (or having been) in Israel. That's when I was taking Hebrew with Rowe.
