MileChai ® --> Judaica --> Jewish Ritual Wear --> Kippot

The Talmud says that the purpose of wearing a kippah is to remind us of God, who is the Higher Authority "above us" (Kiddushin 31a).

A yarmulke (Yiddish) or Kippah (Hebrew) is a small cloth cap worn by Jews. Traditionally it was worn only by men, but in modern times the push for equality between the sexes in the practice of Judaism has lead some women to wear yarmulkes. Some Jews only wear yarmulkes while praying; others wear yarmulkes the entire day, making sure not to walk less than four cubits without head covering (especially outside). The basis for wearing a head covering is a story in the Talmud (tractate Shabbat)

It is perhaps the most instantly identifiable mark of a Jew.

In the world, it is customary to remove one's head covering when meeting an important person or entering a building, such as a school. In Judaism, putting on a head covering is a sign of respect.

According to some a Kippot should cover the majority of the head.

Etymology According to some, the Yiddish word yarmulke originated from the phrase "yarei mei-elokah" (in awe of the Lord), in keeping with the principle that the yarmulke is supposed to reflect someone's fear of heaven.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) (Hebrew: צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל‎‎, About this sound Tzva Hahagana LeYisra'el (help·info), lit. Defensive Army for Israel, Arabic: جيش الدفاع الإسرائيلي‎), commonly known in Israel by the Hebrew acronym Tzahal (צה"ל), are the military forces of the State of Israel. They consist of the ground forces, air force and navy. It is the sole military wing of the Israeli security forces, and has no civilian jurisdiction within Israel.
