Where do you Jews go to get your yarmulkes? I don't see any around.
You can get them online, but where have you been getting them all this time?

 Relatives from Israel (the best ones are their).

  If you cant do that, go to main Street. Go to the Jewish bookstores. They have them.
The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)

Shalom,

I have bought most of my nice Kippahs at a Jewish bookstore in Berkeley called Afikomen. They have a great selection of Kippahs. I have my black knit kippah for some occasions and a blue and black knit kippah for more festive times.

I have a stack of them. the best place is:

The Kippa Man at 37 Jaffa Road off of Beni Yuda. If you don't have time to go to Jerusalem just for a Kippa, he has a WEB site: www.kippaman.com

He is a great guy and he has literally thousands of different kinds. A lot of them he makes himself, so if there is certain color, material or pattern he can fix you up.

As long as it's a reform shul... Go ahead, they dont think stealing is a sin, because they don't believe in mitzvah...

I almost believed DrDan! For a moment there I thought they give them out for free.

On Amazon for example, they sell them for about five dollars, then charge $8 for shipping!
And some of these stores are in Brooklyn! Sheesh!

I'll try the bookstore. I'm sure I'll get some stares! ...hmmm he doesn't look Jewish...

In Israel there are plenty of Kippah stands in malls, central bus/rail stations etc. And also on the markets and the streets. There you can find variety and also buy them on the cheap.

No you can walk into a conservative shul and there are piles of kipas sitting around..no need to order any if you only need one.

It seems you are not a Jew... if you're not Jewish you should not get a Kippah. A non-Jew may wear a Kippah in case he is invited to synagogue for the wedding of a Jewish friend, or something like that.... but it's wrong for him to wear it otherwise. Unlike Holy items (Mezuah, Tefilim, Talit, etc.) Kippot have no holy meaning and theoretically it's not a prophanity that someone else wears them. But it's forbidden to everyone to do anything that could lead others to take him for a Jew by mistake.  The reason is that you are not under Jewish Law, and so you don't have to keep the precepts. If someone sees you in a Kippah and you are doing something forbidden to Jews (eating in a non-kosher restaurant, driving on Shabbat, .....), he may think that you are a Jew who violates the Law, and that would be a prophanity.

I keep mine in a display case and the only time I have worn one of them is when I go to Israel and visit the Wall.

Shalom,

I wear kippah and tzittzits every day. When I wake up I say my blessings and daven for 20 minutes before leaving for work. I wear my kippah to work, under my baseball cap, and if I have to I tuck my tzittzits in my pants. I have no problem with my outward Jewish appearance. I also wear long peyos so there is no doubt as to who I associate with.

Yes,

It is a custom to kiss a item which is dear and close and part of our ritual. Similarly if a Sefer {Book} falls to the ground, when we pick it up we kiss it. Another kissing ritual involves when entering or leaving a house, a more devout person will kiss his hand and touch the mezzuzah on the door post.

muman613

PS: It is also custom to kiss our tzittzits when we recite Shema {During the portion which discusses the mitzvah of Tzittzits}. Also when they take a Torah sefer out from the ark and carry it around the room we kiss the sefer Torah, or a Siddur and touch the Sefer Torah, or our tzittzits which we touch the Torah.
