On Tuesday, we showed your our many yarmulkes, and asked you, Forward readers, to show us yours! We got many lovely and diverse contributions. Here are some of our favorite ones:
Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone started us off with his own hashtag kippah!
So @FrimetG what does my Yarmulke qualify me as? @jdforward pic.twitter.com/sVrISBrEDX

Nothing like combining life’s two greatest passions: Judaism and sports!
A wise friend once said, being a Chicago Cubs fan is good practice for being Jewish. @jdforward #myfavoriteyarmulke pic.twitter.com/2jFT7BRWmW

You can still share your yarmulke with us by tweeting a pic with the hashtag #ShowYourYarmulke @jdforward!
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
