Usage: The term כִּפָּה is used in the context of describing the leaves of a palm tree, which are often associated with celebrations and symbolic acts in biblical texts. Context: The Hebrew word כִּפָּה (Kippah) refers specifically to the leaf of a palm tree. In biblical times, palm leaves held significant cultural and religious symbolism. They were often used in festive occasions, such as the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), where they were part of the "Four Species" used in the celebration. The palm leaf, or frond, is emblematic of victory and triumph, as seen in various biblical narratives and traditions.
