What is a Diaspora?

This is a group of people who refuse to conform to the mainstream.
They have their own thing going on.

What is a Kippah?

In Hebrew, Kippah (pronounced kee-pah) literally means "dome." A dome is a cover and in this case it is a headcover. The Talmud says that the purpose of wearing a kippah is to remind us of God, who is the Higher Authority "above us" (Kiddushin 31a). In Yiddish, this headcover is called a yarmulke (pronounced yah-muh-kuh).

Outside actions create inside awareness; wearing a symbolic, tangible "something above us" reinforces that idea that God is always watching. The kippah is a means to draw out one's inner sense of respect for God. Traditionally, kippot (plural, pronounced kee-pot) have only been worn by men while praying or studying or speaking of G-d. Recently, women have braved bucking tradition and have started to wear kippot themselves. This site is dedicated to their pioneering spirit.


Who is a Diaspora Girl?

She is Independent. She is Strong. She is Dynamic. She is Stylish.
But she's still humble.
She knows that the world doesn't revolve around

She acknowledges she isn't the most powerful thing in the universe but she's still a powerhouse.
She refuses to be

She has found a way to be
spiritual and stylish
at the same time.
She doesn't dance to the beat of anyone else's drum.
She conducts her own symphony.
That's just her.
She's just like that.
