Why Avigail's Father Does Not Wear a Kippah Avigail has asked this question repeatedly. It seems to be a subject for discussion among her friends. Wearing a Kippah is a custom that has developed in fairly recent Jewish times. We could almost call it a style. Some people wear ties to work, others do not.
Some men wear fanny packs or carry purses.
Other men carry the objects that would fit in a fanny pack or a purse in their pockets. I have noted elsewhere that a transformation has occurred among the Jewish people in the past generation. There was a time when I did wear a Kippah as a way of identifying with the Jewish people. I do this out of political reasons. I alluded to this in the discussion I mentioned above.
