No. The kippa or yarmulke
is a skullcap worn by Jewish males. It's identical to the one worn by
Roman Catholic popes and cardinals. There is no evidence that the kippa
was used before the 17th century when it became popular in Judaism - it
has no basis in rabbinical law, let alone Scripture. There were none
around when Yah'shua (Jesus) walked the earth.
The kippa is actually pagan in origin and was worn by Greek
scholars - it was known as the 'hat of Hermes'. It's still used as a
hat by university graduates though incorporating the masonic square as
well.
Scripture expressly states that a man is not to have his head
covered in the local assembly unlike a woman who is supposed to cover
hers to honour her head. Yah'shua is the man's head and the husband (or
father) is the woman's head (1 Corinthians 11:7).
Kippas do not therefore feature in MLT cultural or assembly life.
