A kippah, also known as a yarmulke, is a small, rounded cap traditionally worn by Jewish men and boys. It serves as a reminder of their faith and the presence of God above them. The kippah can be made from various materials, including cloth, suede, or knit, and comes in different colors and designs. Wearing a kippah is a common practice during prayer, religious services, and significant life events, such as weddings and bar mitzvahs. While it is primarily associated with Judaism, some people wear it as a symbol of respect for Jewish culture and traditions, reflecting the importance of faith in daily life.
