Are Jewish women allowed to wear a kippah?

According to Jewish tradition, they should, yes. Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new. The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King. Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a). It should be noted that a large percentage of the Jewish community is either non-religious or lives in countries where wearing obvious markers of Judaism (such as a kippah) invite ridicule or danger. As a result, these segments of the Jewish population, the non-religious and the threatened, do not wear kippahs. For those who are able to wear a hat, it serves the same purpose as a kippah.
