Yarmulke (Kippah)

A Yarmulke, also known as a Kippah, is a small, dome-shaped cap worn by many Jewish men and some women, particularly during prayer, religious ceremonies, and meals. It symbolizes reverence and acknowledgment of a higher power above. The practice of wearing a Kippah is rooted in Jewish tradition, serving as a reminder of humility and spirituality. While it is most commonly associated with Orthodox Judaism, many Conservative and Reform Jews also wear it. The Kippah can be made from various materials and come in different styles, reflecting personal and communal identity.
