Kippah (Hebrew). Yarmulkah (Yiddish). Skullcap (English).
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 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.
It's a mark of dignity and a reminder that God is above.

According to Jewish tradition, Jewish men 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).
No, not all Jewish men wear a skull cap (also known as a yarmulka or a kipa). Orthodox Jewish men always wear a head covering, although there are other types of hats that are perfectly acceptable, such as a fedora. But not all Jews are orthodox. Reform Judaism does not require this.

There are a few terms for the "beanie" that the Jewish man wears. One of these is the yamulke, a term that the Askenazi community uses. Another is the kippah, which is the term that seems to have become more popular in recent years. In both cases, it is the men's covering to denote his submission to God's Will.
No, only Jewish men are Jews. Also, not all Jews are men, regardless of how disproportionately Jewish men might be photographed relative to Jewish women.
