Wearing a kippah, or yarmulke, while making a blessing is a traditional Jewish custom that signifies reverence and humility before God. The kippah serves as a reminder of the divine presence above and the importance of acknowledging God in everyday actions. It is typically worn by men, though some women choose to wear one as well, particularly during prayer or religious rituals. This practice reflects a commitment to faith and observance within the Jewish community.
