Reply To: Why do Sephardim wear a yarmulka all day?

It is not uncommon for Sefardim who are considered observant to not wear a kipa. Indeed, classically speaking,,
a lack of a kipa was not a sign of not being religious. The person could have been very pious and learned but at work, for example, they didn’t wear it. Some reasons that they DO wear a kipa are:
1.they grew up this way
2.they wish to be more stringent
3.nowadays it’s safer and easier to wear one
4.as a whole Sfaradim have been influenced by the mores of religious Ashkenazim
5.they live in a community where this is the norm.
