Jews call it a Kippah (in Hebrew) or a Yarmulka (in Yiddish). It is a head covering worn by Jews during prayer and study. Orthodox men wear them all the time. Non-Orthodox men and women wear them only during study or prayer. It is a custom with the force of a law, and although the actual origin is vague, it has come to represent a reminder of G-d's presence.
