Britain’s Prince Charles celebrated the official induction
of the UK’s new chief rabbi, Ephraim Mervis, Sunday by wearing a personalized Yarmalke bearing his official crest.
The Prince of Wales –who was the ceremony’s guest of honor–
is the first member of the royal family to attend an installation of a chief
rabbi, and he did so in style, with his blue velvet ceremonial skullcap adorned
with the Prince of Wales’ feathers.
During his induction speech, Mervis addressed the Prince’s
presence directly, saying, “It is not just an honor for me personally, but an
honor for our entire community. It is a reflection for the passion you have to
work with the faith communities in this country.”
The royal Kippah has made appearances in the past at various
other Jewish related events and ceremonies.
