Should We Wear Kippas?

This weekend, there was an alleged ISIS-Inspired knife attack in Roanoke, Virginia. An adult Arab male, allegedly hollered “Allahu akbar” while attacking two people, which was described by police as an attempt to decapitate at least one of the victims. The suspect was arrested by the Roanoke County Police Department for malicious wounding. According to the media, the FBI is investigating this as a terrorist attack (FBI investigating whether Virginia stabbings were ISIS-inspired, 2016).

The jews are having a really hard time. How they have to decide to worship Allah [God] by wearing a kippah or keep their life by not wearing their kippahs. In my opinion i think the jews should keep the kippahs and not to worry about getting hurt. The jews wear a kippah as a reminder that God is always with them. They are getting killed for that. They are not safe if they go out with a kippah on top of their heads. They would get attacked if seen with it. The jewish need to watch their backs for anything suspicious. All they need to worry about not going out with it on at night because they could not see anyone coming to try to hurt them or even kill them. A jew by the name of Zvi Ammar called it the hardest decision he had ever made. To keep

In France a teenager slashed a Jewish teacher on the street. In response to this event a man named Zvi Ammar, the head of Israelite of Marseille, suggested that Jews do not wear the kippas, to stay safe. My opinion is that Jewish people should have the right to choose. If they decide to wear the kippa, they should have the freedom to show their religion and be proud. Although if they want to be safe, they could decide not to where it. If I was a Jew my decision would be to where the kippa when I am around a group of people. I would do this because I could both stay safe and show my religion. When I would be alone, I wouldn’t wear it. I would not wear this for my safety, and if I was alone, I’m not sure if someone would try to help. Even though

Should Jews stop wearing their Kippahs, Well my answer would be no. I say that the Jews should still wear their Kippahs and fight, I know that the Jews are being killed and it's a scary thing but it's also a part of their religion to wear their Kippahs, wearing a Kippah is a Jewish thing that over time has associated with the Jewish and shows respect to God. I don't Know about you but that sounds like something that's important to the Jewish religion, so instead of taking off the Kippah and putting it away until the brutal actions die down, I say that the Jews wear it and show everyone what they stand for. If you look at the article in the fourth paragraph under the heading ¨Tough Decision had to be made¨ ¨Zvi Ammar who is the head

Jews wear a skull cap, called a kippa, on their head to remind them of God’s presence over them. It is customary for Orthodox Jews to wear their hat all throughout the day, while others only wear it when they enter a synagogue, pray or do a Jewish ritual. However, Jews in France lately are being targeted and attacked because they wear their kippas. For instance, a 15 year-old boy attacked a Jewish teacher with a machete. The teacher survived, but when the boy was arrested and taken in for interrogation, he invoked ISIS. The question is: Should Jews stop wearing their kippas? Zvi Ammar, the head of the Israelite Consistory of Marseille, thinks they should, in order to increase their safety. He believes that if the Jewish refrain from wearing

For the Jews own safety, they should stop wearing kippas. It doesn’t mean they have to stop wearing kippas forever, but out in public. If they stop wearing them out in public they won’t be noticed as being a Jew. This would ensure more safety on Jews. Jews should continue on wearing the kippah while in a synagogue, or praying or performing a Jewish ritual. There will at some point in time that Jew’s will be able to wear their kippah out in public. Jewish men are suppose to wear kippas to remind the wearer of God’s presence over him. There are other ways for these Jews to remember that God is present. Some of these reminders may include, Having a kippah in a common room in the house, or little notes. But, Jews aren’t the only ones having

Avi is a Jewish man who lives in France; he taught math for 30 years and considers himself to be "pro-Israel." With this in mind, Avi (an Orthodox Jew) is protesting the French government's ban on religious items. Wearing religious items is important to Avi because he has to wear the traditional "kipa" to keep faith with his Jewish religion. There is a local organization who happens to be a "pro-Palestine" group that has already started to contemplate political action to oppose the French law; its members are all Muslims, many who are angry because their daughters can no longer wear the "hijab" (headscarf) in school. In my opinion it would be in the best interest(s) of the local organization and Avi to team up to lobby the government, organizing a peaceful protest against the new law, and teach people about the importance of religious freedom. (Howard-Hassmann, 2005)

I believe that Jews should keep wearing their kippas. I believe this because it would not be fair to them if they could not still continue some of the practices of their religion. This situation in France relates to the United States because they are both having problems with showing their support to a religion. In the United States it is muslim women who wear their headscarves, and in France the situation is that Jews can not wear their kippas. Anytime either one of these religions wear one of these they get persecuted by somebody. The Jews are persecuted by a hate group called ISIS, and the muslims are persecuted by everyone because ISIS gives muslims a terrible representation. In the Article of the Week it says,”Harassment threats, and vandalism

In fact, the use of a kippah is a great statement, and forces the one who brings it to live up to a certain level of behavior. A person has to think twice before sneaking into the bank row, or reprimanding an incompetent waiter. The use of a kippah makes one an ambassador of the Torah and in him all the Jews reflect. The actions of someone wearing a kippa can lead to Kidush Hashem (sanctification

This shows people that their beliefs have no respect for human life and explains why they have no remorse when they commit horrific acts of terror. The constant terror that ISIS may attack America next needs to be taken care of ,and integrity can help do just that. The United States must think about the moral decisions we must make before deciding on a plan to overcome the issue of the terror from the group ISIS. “[W]e often base our opinions on belief, which can have an uneasy relationship with facts”, states Joe Keohane who is a writer for The Boston Globe, ( 1). Acting out of pure belief and devastation can cause major destruction which it is necessary to look at all possibilities and

We think we can impose our own beliefs on others that do not share them, such as this problem of arresting Muslim women's for a wearing burkini to the beach (Quinn, B. (2016, August 23). French police make woman remove clothing on Nice beach following burkini ban. Retrieved June 18, 2017 ). A Muslim woman in France was at a beach supposedly to be wearing a burkini and witnesses say, 3 Police Officers came to have the woman remove her burkini due to the controversial bans on burkinis. See how we are enforcing our beliefs of burkini not being allowed because they are weird and also not a normal thing to see, ruined a woman's time at the beach but also caused her to pay money. People at that beach thought the women was a bad person due to the

The artifact I would like to discuss in the Islamic Topi. A topi is a prayer cap. Muslim prayer caps are worn during jumu'ah, or Friday prayers, that take place in a mosque, and during salat prayers that are conducted at home. Many Muslims wear prayer caps to show that they are a follower of Muhammad. In the Quran, all companions of Muhammad wore head coverings at all times, which is one of the reasons Muslims adopted this practice. It is also believed that this was one of Muhammad's rules, so Muslims wear prayer caps to obey and follow Muhammad's tradition. Muslims must show modesty in all aspects of life, such as speech, actions, dress and behavior. Wearing a topi, is also a sign of unity, since head covering is one of the most salient aspects

Many Jews at the moment are being faced with a hard decision, they must choose there skullcap/ Kippa or to live. The Jews in France are said to be being faced with the number one hardest decision of their lives. ¨The government is desperate to reassure its Jewish community -- the world's third largest -- and a nation shaken by a violent year¨. The religious persecution is not going to just stop, the Jews and all

It was not only the Christians who were persecuted by the Almohad movement, as Jews were also the object of abject discrimination. In addition to his previous statement, al-Marrakushi also noted that “In all the regions of the west there are no synagogues or churches.” The Almohads under Caliph Yaqub (1194-1199) became increasingly paranoid about crypto-Judaism in Jewish families which had converted to Islam. Such was his paranoia and contempt for these families that he demanded that they put on a humiliating garb consisting of black clothing with sleeves that reached all the way down to the wearer’s ankles in addition to a hat with ear-flaps. It was in this manner that the Jewish ethnicity was discriminated against

Some religious say to wear a certain thing which can cause some risks when they go out in public. For instance Jewish men wear a skullcap in public. They call it a kippa. It is a reminder that God is with them. But while wearing these not all the Jewish feel safe because of other on the street like when a Jewish teacher was attacked in Marseille by a 15-year-old boy who slashed him with a knife. Also some muslims are upset because some countries are telling Jews to not wear what they like because of others on the streets like when Zvi Ammar a Jewish leader in Marseille asked Jews not to wear the kippa "until better days." By not wearing wearing a kippa it might keep Jews
