Interesting kippah information
A kippah is perhaps the most instantly identifiable of a Jew. Lets delve into some kippah information. When in Jewish history did head coverings begin, and when was the first kippah introduced? Is one required to wear a kippah? Are kippot a mandatory Jewish attire?
Let’s get to the facts and information on kippahs. (Kippot and Yarmulkas are all the same kippah skull cap covering).
Every morning we say the blessing of thanking G-d for "crowning Israel with splendor" (This blessing originates from the Talmud - Brachot 60b). Perhaps the kippah is hinted in this blessing, we thank G-D for he has given the Jewish people a kippah head covering that is a crown of splendor for the Jewish nation.
What is the purpose of the kippah?
It is stated in the Talmud (Kiddushin 31a) that the purpose of wearing a kippah is to remind us of G-D. This practice is based on the common Jewish excepted rule that external actions create internal awareness; so wearing a kippah which is symbolic and a tangible object showing that "something is above us" reinforces that idea that G-D is always watching mankind and the universe. Thus, the kippah is a means to awaken one's inner sense of respect for G-D.
