Instead, he's fitting a Jewish skullcap, or kippa, made out of hair - making it invisible to the eye. \u003cbr/\u003eKoresh says he came up with the idea of what he calls the \"magic kippa\" when he noticed some in the Jewish population hiding their skullcap when walking in the streets. \u003cbr/\u003eThe \"magic kippa\" comes in different colours and costs 79 Euro (US$91) for the one made of natural hair and 49 Euro (US$57) for the synthetic one. They can be also be washed and dyed. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We don't feel anything, it feels like it is part of the hair because there isn't such a difference between this and a regular skullcap, it feels the same\" says Maor Hania from Rehovot, who tried one on.  \u003cbr/\u003eShalom Koresh said \"God\" helped him find the idea. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It was created so people could feel comfortable going to places where they are afraid to, or places where they can't wear it and feel secure\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003e \"Because the wave of anti-semitism that there is in the world, all the Jews all over the world can walk around freely, to send their children to school, I heard that some kindergartens are closing, I heard some schools are closing so I said this could help,\" he adds.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says he has received several orders lately, especially from France and Belgium.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the public reaction to this newest invention has been mixed. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The idea itself is great, only you need to get used to such an idea\" says Avi Habra who is looking at buying a \"magic kippa\".\u003cbr/\u003eOn the streets of Jerusalem, some tourists understood the need for an invisible skullcap, especially after recent attacks.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's a very good idea to do it, that way you don't need to wear this, you have a kippa made out of your hair,\" says Alan from New York.\u003cbr/\u003e \"It's very dangerous in France right now and it's dangerous for a person to walk outside with a kippa from what I understand, I'm not from there so if this is how they can maintain their religious commitment, why not\" says Richard Altabe, also from New York.\u003cbr/\u003eBut others weren't happy about having to hide their religion or their skullcap.\u003cbr/\u003e\"No I wouldn't put a skullcap to hide myself, it's not a fundamental importance in Judaism so you might as well not wear a skullcap than to wear a hidden one, if it is to hide your Judaism there is no point\" says Aharon, who is originally from France but lives in Jerusalem now.\u003cbr/\u003eWearing the skullcap is important in Judaism because it \"reminds you that God is above you\", explains Rabbi Shlomo Avineri, who teaches in a yeshiva in Jerusalem. But there are exceptions, he explains.\u003cbr/\u003e \" The skullcap has to be visible, distinguishable and not hidden, that's why the wig, that includes the old wig or the new skullcap made out of hair, in principle, is not valid.
