Risa has just added some gorgeous crocheted kippot and yarmulke that you will be pleased to purchase not only because they are so beautiful, but because you can feel good about buying them.
These Jewish yarmulkes are made by the women of Mayaworks in Guatemala, a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation. That means that your purchase of these beautiful kippot and yarmulkes brings income to the artisans who create them — which means better food on their family table, better access to health care and school for their children, and hope for a more stable life. With your purchase you can make a difference in the lives of a Mayan family!
MayaWorks groups are organized in many Guatemalan villages because of the considerable strengths of Mayan women, their traditional weaving capabilities, their desire to learn modern business practices, and their determination to benefit their families and communities. At Jewish Gift Place we are all about women power and we are proud to sell the work of these amazing artisans!
