This custom expresses the phenomenon that until around the age of three, the central focus of the child and its parents is on the child's physical needs. At the age of three or soon after, the child begins learning Torah and Jewish behavior.
It's easy: 1. Jewish boys get circumcised, Jewish girls just undergo baby naming 2. Jewish boys have BAR Mitzvahs, Jewish girls have BAT Mitzvahs 3. In Orthodox Judaism, Jewish men are in charge of the synagogue while Jewish women are in charge of the home
It's called a "tallit" and they start wearing it at their Bar Mitzvahs.
It depends on the type of school. Some schools are sex specific - boys only or girls only. Other schools are mixed.

For babies, if they are boys, they have a Bris Milah. For girls they have a Zevad habat. In Chassidim, boys have their first haircut, which is called an Upsherin.

The Jewish boys are required to stay in the synagogue for at least 1 day after their bar mitzvah. They are also noticed as an adult in the Jewish religion. at a bat mitzvah, the Jew had to read out of the Torah. it used to be only boys who have a bat mitzvah, esp. in the orthodox branch.

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.
