The cardboard yarmulkes that have long been a fixture at the Kotel will no longer be seen. In their space have approach fresh yarmulkes made out of white material - made in China.

The Western Wall Legacy Foundation received a donation of one million of the new yarmulkes (skullcaps, or kippot), courtesy of Michael Mirilashvili, in memory of his late father Moshe. The donation by Mirilashvili, president of the Georgian Jews World Congress, was coordinated with the offices of Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch.

The rabbi's office announced that the feeble cardboard yarmulkes did not "sit well" on one's head, and would often have to be held there manually. In addition, the new head-coverings gaze much more dignified than the folded-and-stapled cardboard shapes.
