Why do Jewish people wear a Kippah? Why not just a normal hat? 

Wearing a small Kippah is better than not wearing, but ever better to wear a large one and wear it PROUDLY, you should be proud to be a Jew

man tends to "forget" when it is not convenient..... one should have always respect and fear from above and covering your head symbolizes that and reminds you all the time someone greater than you is above

Rabbi, Alon I'm Hispanic and I study Toráh, I'm a Stronger believer in Ha-Shem. I know for Yisrael and Yahudim don't say it. But I do believe the Messiah came already and I'm waiting for his second coming. Rabbi ADONAI bless you and the whole entire Yahudim community.

Well when i workout i don't wear a kippah. I wear a cap. I notice now that i wear my kippah everyday i get comments non-stop. For some odd reason people think i can bless them. I started wearing wearing my kippah everyday a few months back i've been called a Rabbi numerous times, and i have random people walking up to me saying Shalom. I don't understand..

When I wear my Yarmulke there are those uneducated who actually believe I am "associated with Muslims". I don't care, I worship my God without fear, I am his servant and I fear no one.I am a Jew, I am not ashamed or embarassed

Thank you so much! Really beautiful perspective, Rabbi Anava.

Thankyou Rabbi for this video, I'm on a path to conversion and have a lot to learn.

Thank you for this information. I did not no the reasoning behind it till now. I am also on a path to conversion. You have brought me to the Torah which I am so grateful.

The best help with my homework ever. Thanks you!

Great way to explain it, good job/great post

I believe it is divine presence with Hazshem. I wear mine everyday. I will never take it off. Since I came back to the states from Europe I was told that I should consider changing my wardrobe. I was told that I should keep identifying card in my passport. I’m not afraid and I will walk around in my black suit and white shirt also my top hat. I refuse to change. Sometimes I go out with my Breslev hat of Na Nahma and will never change. I’m proud!

I was always curious about the meaning of the Kippah. I may not be jewish (christian) but I do want to say that I give you and so many others credit, especially with the mistreatments, persecutions, and unfair treatments, that you remain strong in your beliefs. That is always important. For anyone. Hope you had a blessed Hanukkah. It was such a tragedy of the things I learned in History. It breaks my heart no one should ever have to endure those tragedies and horrific events!!

Okay, this might be a silly question. My uncle is a Jewish convert. He is extremely spiritual and keeps the laws the best that he can. My uncle is black and from Haiti. I notice that he only wears the kippah on shabbat. He has a few businesses in the black community and he hides his identity by not wearing the kippah. Whenever I ask him why he doesnt wear it, he tells me he doesnt want to be a target and there is too much spotlight on him. Is it ok for him to not wear the kippah because he is black and it seems odd or should I encourage him to put it on. Im sorry, I know its petty but it means alot to hear your point of view, Thanks

very good video

תודה לך אדוני

***** Shalom, Great video and Toda for the great video. Ma Kore?

Ty for this information Rabbi Alon. I have a question tho, is it ok for a none jew to ware a Kippah? i am not a jewish but i like what the Kippah represents and i want people to know i follow the Lord. and his bible.

I have various questions about Judaism

i wear my kippah under my hat and its white and not black and is not a full size its about 5 inches knitted is that okay or do i need to buy a new one? i am new to judaism and have not yet been to a synoguage but i am feeling strong that it is the right religion for me and i am doing research on being jewish before i go to a synogauge is that also okay as well? someone responde i dont care if it takes a year....thank you :)

One Question Rabbi, As a Christian would be okto wear a kippah in worship.

i am Jewish from Nigerian and i see people with Kippah , and if i ask if dey are Jewish some dont know what am saying

So true. Baruch Hashem Adonai!

Thanks for the explanation. Is the Jewish God the same God that Christians worship?

"I serve God, I do with all my heart and I'm proud of it."

Amen!

I went to one synagogue that recommend highly to not come to synagogue wearing kippa or leave wearing a kippa. Personally I could never adapt to that. Who do we fear? Our fear is in HaShem

I'm not Jewish but I want to wear kippah is that ok??

my school never let me wear my yarmulke no matter how hard I fought it. I guess Babylon is truly wicked

Do you reply to comments?

I think that if a person walks a holy life there is a reason why. The cohanim had to cover the head. So if Ruach Elohim is inside of a person his head should be covered - kippa or whatever. 1000 years ago the kippa was much larger covering more. I think that covering his head is a sign of humbeling

Dear Rabbi Alon Anava. Please talk more about the Jewish people in Egypt before Moses How did they get there ? Did they build the Pyramids ? Why was the land of Israel picked to be the Holy Land ? And why are the other Holy people come from there too? Is this land have lots of hidden energy there ? How did the Jewish people become under this name ? Why did Hashem pick a European to give the Ten Commandments ? Or someone from Africa or South America ? Why Egypt why Moses ? Love Alll your utubes I'm totally inspired thank you Amen

since you have that feeling you could be one of the lost Jewish soul sparks, but in order to be a Jew it takes a lot of work to convert , wearing kippah is one of the easy thing to do ,but in order to learn the laws and the commandments you have to study day and knight till at least you know the basic ,it is a new life and new person and that will happen if you really have that true feeling and you think this is the true religion .

Is there a verse that says that Jews should wear a hat or head cover? I'm Christian btw

he says good doesn't like arrogance, but majority of Jews I know feel a level over everyone

The small hat... shows you are under the most hight, but still have free will....(hence the rest of your head) Question is, what do you do with that free will?

One of the Christian guys at work keeps thinking I must secretly be a rabbi because I wear a yamika. Lol

Can non Jews wear a kippah?

Ive been struggling with this issue, Ive become more observant and I want to wear the kippah all the time..and yes, I am Not embarrassed but think it will draw negative attention and I guess yes, a little scared. Oy vey! Should I take off kippah if I go into restaurant that is NOT Kosher.

I have a question. Who is God in Judaism? Are they the same God that Christians worship? No pun intended.

Amen! :)

but what's the purpose of a kippah at all? Man knows that G-d is above him.

Can I a Christian wear a kappah?

Next month will be a year I started wearing a kippah. You’ll get used to it. Go for it Jewish men.

So wearing a Kippa Rabbinic, not Biblical?

sorry im not Jewish but i do believe in god and you say to wear a hat so you are not arrogant but i honestly see it the opposite way.. it seems like when people do wear hats they are more arrogant than others because they have a sense of not wanting to being seen ..why hide your head from god?? i would think this is disrespectful to him.if you have to wear a hat to hide your self from god then you are probably doing something wrong.. .. when we were created we were naked and god saw us naked. it was only till Adam and eve disobeyed god that led to them wanting to put on cloths because of their proverbial minds.just my opinion... mainly i dont wear hats because it causes hair loss..

Baruch Hashem

It's not a law its Jewish tradition but the beard and temple hair is a law

@nabil12345100 seriously...., stay in your own religon, you may be muslim and do not agree, right or wrong have some respect. השלום איתך

THERE IS ONLY ONE G-D IN ISRAEL! G-D FORGIVES YOUR SIN NOT YOUR EXCUSES!

Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin
