Yesterday, #thedress toor over social media. You know the one. It went so viral that it even managed to create a rift in the KimYe home:
What color is that dress? I see white & gold. Kanye sees black & blue, who is color blind?

But what does it mean when the internet goes crazy over the color of a dress? Do we love kvetching so much that we’ll waste all night arguing over after a single item of clothing? Luckily, someone helped us regain perspective — and prevented the Internet from literally exploding:

But just for fun, we created our own controversy. Introducing #theyarmulke:
GUYS WHAT COLOR IS THIS YARMULKE?! We can’t decide!!! Is it white and blue or black and gold? OMG WE’RE FREAKING OUT.
What’s your pick? Let us know in the comments.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
