Who says the Kippot don't fall off heads? Of course they do. But really, it all depends on the size of the Kippa and how it sits on the head. Smaller kippot can easily fall off or be blown off in the wind. Larger Kippot generally stay on the head much better and will not ordinarily fall off. Many usually use hair clips to clip the kippa to the hair. This usually prevents the kippa from falling off easily. But of course, if you don't have much hair, then that won't work. It's best just to get a bigger kippa in that case.

∙ 14y agoThe kippah is not perfectly flat, but manufactured with a slightly concave 'cup' shape to fit the head. In many cases, the large contact area and slight grip on the hair is enough to keep it there, particularly if it is knit of yarn. Where there is hair but the kippah doesn't adhere sufficiently, a bobby pin or clippy is often used. I've heard of velcro patches on the inside, but have never seen it actually in use. I've also heard thumb tacks suggested, but have not seen it in practice, and I don't think the suggestion was meant to be taken seriously.

∙ 12y agoThey stay on due to the that Jewish people have a greater command over the force of gravity. This stems from the fact that they are all descendants of Moses, who is well known for his command over natural elements and forces.
Some Jews do not have these "powers" and thus utilise the adhesive properties of semen.

Why wear a head cover?
The customary Jewish head covering (for simplicity, we'll call it a kippah [singular of kippot], although all the terms refer to approximately the same thing) - is a sign of humility for men, acknowledging what's "above" us (God). An additional explanation is that in ancient Rome, servants were required to cover their heads while freemen did not; thus, Jews covered their heads to show that they were servants of God. It's necessary for men to cover their heads during certain prayers (whether it be by a kippah or other headcovering), and for one making blessings all day, it's inconvenient to keep donning and removing a kippah, so we keep it on. In some places, the type of kippah expresses affiliation with a particular Orthodox community or political viewpoint. In other places, it doesn't really matter.
Does the Pope's zucchetto have any relationship to the fact that Jesus was Jewish and Jewish men covered their heads?

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.
