Why do some of the men wear yarmulke?
The little skull caps you will see on the heads of men are called kippot (kippah is the singular form), while in Yiddish, they are called yarmulke. At Holy sites within the land of Israel, kippot are required attire for every man. At Beth Yeshua kippot are completely optional but any man who desires to wear one, may do so. The primary reason for wearing kippot is to maintain a connection to our Jewish heritage and to be identified with a traditional Jewish symbol.
