    The kippah, or skullcap, worn by Orthodox Jewish men is believed to have originated from the practice of Rabbi Honi, who always kept his head covered to show that he was in awe of God. Wearing a head covering became customary for Jews as a symbol of humility before God and later as an affirmation of Jewish identity and community.
