A Jewish friend of mine explained that this skullcap is a sign of modesty, a way to tell God you are not vain. The vanity would be for the many who have pride in a handsome head of hair, a status symbol in many cultures. Looking from above, everybody's hair is equal when concealed by this skullcap
That's interesting. Is there one for females? I went to a bat mitzbah and thought it was a bar mitzbah and was corrected immediately. I didn't know the family directly. I just mingled, drank, enjoyed the food and didn't ask questions why some people were wearing beanies. It's too warm to wear beanies now.
EDIT: BTW Jesus probably had a bar mitzvah and probably wore the cap (not sure which ones). I've read he did practice Judaism and visited Judah (grew up there?).
