- Iirc, the most traditional jewish thing, covering the head with a hat or yamika, there is no torah, talmudic reason -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 26, 12:44 1
  - not everyone agrees on the origin nor how it should be implemented (just at temple or all the time), but the talmud has head-covering - b. Jun 26, 12:51
