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

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
