Yarmulke (Yid., etym. uncertain; the tradition that it is a corruption of the Heb. for ‘in fear of God’ is unlikely). Skull cap worn by
Orthodox Jewish men. The yarmulke is worn by the observant at all times as a sign of humility before God. The less orthodox only cover their heads for prayer. The
custom is of relatively recent origin (
c.17th cent.) and its religious basis lies in the proscription of
gentile practices (i.e. of uncovering the head as a sign of respect). See also
HEAD, COVERING OF;
HAIR.
