First, the Yiddish word is 'yarmulka' and the Hebrew is 'kippa'. They are a skullcap worn by Jewish men.

Second, religiously observant Jewish men wear kippot (pl) all the time, from waking up to going to sleep. Less religious Jewish men will wear kippot in synagogue and any religious situation. Kippot are a physical acknowledgment that HaShem (The Creator) is always above us.
