AS IT IS 2016-01-16 French Jews Debate Wearing Skullcaps 法国犹太人争论戴无檐便帽

A knife attack in France that injured a Jew has started a debate about wearing head coverings that show a person is Jewish1.

“Even if we don’t wear one, we’ll always be attacked,” Israel Nessim told VOA near a synagogue -- a Jewish religious center -- in Paris.

“We’ll always be recognized as Jews,” he said.

Jewish men who are religious wear a head covering called a kippah, yarmulke or skullcap.

On Monday, a school teacher in Marseille who was wearing a kippah was attacked. The attacker was a Kurdish teenager who claimed to support the Islamic State terrorist2 group.

Zvi Ammar, a leader in the Jewish community in Marseille, said Jewish men and boys should not wear the kippah “until better days.”

Other French-Jewish leaders urge boys and men to continue wearing a kippah. They include the country’s top Jewish religious leader and the head of a national Jewish group.

Philippe Zribi is a Jewish butcher in Paris. He does not wear a kippah. But he says “I believe people should be able to wear what they want. We need to terrorize the terrorists3, not be terrorized by the terrorists.”

Jews in other countries are debating whether to stop wearing skullcaps. Last year, the leader of a Jewish organization in Germany said Jewish men should stop wearing the kippah in areas where many Muslims live.

About 500,000 Jews live in France. A study by the group Human Rights First reported a sharp increase in anti-Semitic attacks in 2014. And it said more than 7,200 French Jews had moved to Israel that year.
