The skull cap worn by many Jewish men and boys may also be known as a yarmulke, kippah or kappel.
Headgear is worn to show respect in the presence of God, and acts as a reminder that there is always something separating man and God. The headgear is often a skull-cap, but may be any other kind of hat. Orthodox Jews cover their heads at all times as they feel that all of life is lived in the presence of God. Other Jews may only cover their heads when praying or studying the Torah.
