Wearing tefillin is a Jewish religious practice where a person binds small black leather boxes containing passages from the Torah to their arm and forehead during morning prayers. It is a physical representation of dedicating one's thoughts and actions to serving God, as outlined in the Torah.
Orthodox Jews cover their heads as a reminder that God is above. This can be done with a kippah or yarmulka (cap). Wearing a hat is a sign of dignity, just as you wouldn't be surprised to see a senator wearing a hat.Why some Orthodox Jews wear a big hat, is perhaps based upon the European region they originated from (Poland, Galicia, etc.), and/or to be recognizable as belonging to a particular subgroup within the various Hassidic customs.
It's called a "tallit" and they start wearing it at their Bar Mitzvahs.
If you are an Orthodox Christian, it means you are married.

Wearing a school uniform can help some students focus by reducing decision-making on what to wear each day and promoting a sense of belonging and equality among students. However, the impact on focus may vary depending on individual preferences and attitudes towards wearing a uniform.
Tefillin (תפילין in Hebrew) are called phylacteries in English.They are two small leather boxes, each containing four passages from the Hebrew Scriptures on parchment; traditionally worn (on the forehead and the left arm) by Jewish men during weekday morning prayer, as commanded by the Torah (Deuteronomy 6).The tefilin symbolise that God is always watching.
In principle, tefillin should be worn the whole weekday until sunset (Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 30:2); and that is how our ancestors conducted themselves in ancient times. However, due to the spiritual descent which the generations have undergone (Talmud, Shabbat 112b), we now wear the tefillin only during the shacharit (morning) services (Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 37:2), since one must maintain a high level of concentration (Talmud, Menachot 36b) and physical purity while wearing the tefillin (Talmud, Shabbat 130a). We don't wear the Tallit during Maariv or at night, because "and you shall see them" (Bamidbar ch.15) is interpreted to mean "only during the day" (Talmud, Menachot 43a; Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 18:1).
If the bride is wearing pink you should wear a different color as the bride is suppose to be the center of attention.

No, you get what you get, everybody is different.
It depends on whether you are discussing Orthodox Judaism or Liberal Judaism.Orthodox JudaismAs mentioned in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa (skullcap) and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.Women are seen as naturally having less inclination to stray, so the custom of wearing a kippa does not obligate them.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).Liberal JudaismLiberal Jewish women are given the choice as to whether or not they wish to wear the kippa. However, any Liberal Jewish woman who chooses to wear a kippa needs to do so consistently. Additionally, any Liberal Jewish woman who chooses to wear tefillin and tallit, must wear a kippa as well. (Since Orthodox women do not wear tefillin or tallit, this is not an issue for them.)
