On the bema, next to the ark, the rabbi and the cantor sat together, the latter stately in his black robe, long silken prayer shawl, and high-crowned and betasseled velvet yarmelke, he sat straight and tall, inclining his head on occasion when the rabbi whispered a comment to him, nodding gravely afterward.    From Wordnik.com.  [Wednesday the Rabbi Got Wet]

His yarmelke, too, was the ordinary close-fitting skull cap worn by members of the congregation, and since he walked to the temple, his black shoes, plainly visible to the congregation, were invariably dusty, there was a shoe brush in the enrobing room, but in spite of Miriam's adjurations he always forgot to use it.    From Wordnik.com.  [Wednesday the Rabbi Got Wet]

I envy the man in the yarmelke.    From Wordnik.com.  [Jane's armchair tour: Learning about Afghanistan & Kabul the easy way...] Reference
