Kippah

A kippah, also known as a yarmulke, is a small, rounded cap traditionally worn by Jewish men during prayer, religious studies, or sometimes throughout the day. It serves as a symbol of reverence and acknowledgment of a higher divine presence, reminding the wearer of their humility before God. While not universally obligatory, many Jewish communities view it as a customary sign of religious identity and respect. The kippah can vary in style and material, reflecting personal, cultural, or community preferences, but its core purpose is to demonstrate devotion and mindfulness of spiritual commitments.
