Lipa Schmelczer is one of the Jewish music world's best known - and most colorful - artists.

A member of the extremely conservative and insular Skver hassidic sect, Schmelczer, it's fair to say, is anything but conservative or insular.

So delivering a gold and silver yarmulka to the President of the United States of America - together with a song dedicated to him and his wife - is really nothing out of the ordinary for him.

Last Hanukkah, at the White House's official candle-lighting event, the singer had a chance to meet President Barack Obama himself, and made him a promise: "I want to make you a gold and silver yarmulka."

"I've been looking for a gold and silver yarmulka," a clearly amused Obama politely responded.

Well, that's what he got.
