Some Jews wear the Kippah all day; some wear it only while eating, praying, or studying; some wear it only during prayer; and some Jews (in Reform synagogues) do not wear one at all. It signifies that human beings are beneath, or dependent on, God. In the past the kippah was only worn by men. Today, some women also wear them.

Shofar The Shofar is an ancient ram’s horn blown during the synagogue services as a call to penitence. It is especially used during Rosh Hashanah . Shofar

Star of David The six-pointed Star of David is the sign of the Jewish religion. It is also called the “Magen of David,” and is named after King David. The symbol also appears on the flag of the State of Israel. The star represents eternal light.

Tefillin Tefillin are small leather boxes with straps that can be tied on the arm and around the head. They contain the Shema. Wearing tefillin is a reminder of God’s commandments. They are worn by adult males during all weekday morning services. “You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, they shall be a reminder above your eyes, and you shall inscribe them upon the doorposts of your home and upon your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
