Wearing of a head covering Kippot, yarmulka, skullcaps, kippah for men was only instituted in Talmudic times The first mention of it is in Tractate Shabbat, which discusses respect and fear of God. Some sources likened it to the High Priest who wore a hat (Mitznefet) to remind him something was always between him and God. Thus, wearing a kippot makes us all like the high priest and turns us into a "holy nation."
