The term Jewish headgear refers to the traditional skullcap known as a YARMULKE, which is an 8-letter word. The YARMULKE is a brimless cap, usually made of cloth, that is worn by Jewish men and boys in Orthodox communities. It is also known as a kippah or kappel, and is traditionally worn during prayer and other religious ceremonies. The YARMULKE is believed to be a sign of respect for God, and is often worn to show humility before Him.
