It is not that these things contradict human reasoning but are present in addition to human reasoning. This does not contradict reasoning or use of the brain, but augments it or supplements it. I am a Catholic and I wear a Kippah. It is personal and I feel better all about myself when I wear it.

Dear Jew in the City, When and why did Jewish boys and men start wearing yarmulkes , and are there any circumstances when a yarmulke need not be worn? Dear M. What you wear can say a lot about who you are and what you believe. In Israel, for instance, the type of kippa — or lack thereof — worn by an Israeli Jewish man often is strongly correlated with his religious identity as well as some political views.
They come in several basic styles, with some more favored by particular Jewish subgroups than others. The vast majority of Haredi and Dati men wear a yarmulke or some other kind of head covering in public, some Haredim prefer a fedora or a shtreimel, an Eastern European fur hat. Virtually no Hilonim wear a religious head covering.

When tourists visit the Jewish cemetery in Prague, all men are asked to wear a kippah. Those who travel kippah-free are requested to don a blue, sharply-creased, circular piece of paper.
Among those who wear kippot, it is not uncommon to have a collection of different styles, colors, and sizes. This variety allows the wearer to select whichever kippah suits their mood or their reason for wearing it.
For instance, a black kippah might be worn to a funeral, while a colorful kippah might be worn to a holiday gathering. When a Jewish boy has a Bar Mitzvah or a Jewish girl has a Bat Mitzvah , special kippot will often be made for the occasion. Wearing a kippah is not a religious commandment. Rather, it is a Jewish custom that over time has come to be associated with Jewish identity and showing respect for God. This concept comes from the Talmud, where wearing a head covering is associated with showing respect for God and for men of higher social status.
Some scholars also cite the Middle Age custom of covering one's head in the presence of royalty. Since God is the "King of Kings," it made sense to also cover one's head during prayer or religious services, when one hopes to approach the Divine through worship. According to author Alfred Koltach, the earliest reference to a Jewish head covering comes from Exodus , where it is called mitzneft and refers to a part of the High Priest's wardrobe.
Another biblical reference is II Samuel , where covering the head and face is a sign of mourning. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
