Notes

Titchel worn by a nonbinary Jew. We are all made b'tzelem Elohim: in the image of God. I refuse the idea that I need to choose between my faith and my gender. I wear titchel which are traditionally for "women" and kippah which are traditionally for "men" and it all makes me feel closer to God.
