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).

Is it proper for Jewish men to wear yarmulkes at non-Jewish religious services?
Definitely. The yarmulke symbolises a Jew's respect and reverence for G-d, and so many Jewish men - and some Jewish women - wear one at all times. It in no way suggests that they believe there is something wrong or inferior with non-Jewish services, and it is to be hoped that those conducting the service will show the same tolerance and respect for others to the Jews as the Jews are doing simply by attending a non-Jewish service.AnswerMost observant Jews who wear a kippah all the time would not attend religious services of another religion. Those who aren`t as observant and do not wear a kippah all the time would not put one on for a non-Jewish service as there is no need to.
