yarmulkes

Synagogue head coverings

Yarmulkes is the plural of yarmulke, a small round cap worn by Jewish men, especially during prayer or religious services.

Some observant Jews wear one at all times as a sign of reverence for God.

The word comes from Yiddish; the Hebrew term is kippah.

The men donned yarmulkes before entering the synagogue.
