From a religious standpoint what is the significance of a yamicah in the Jewish religion & why is it worn?

The yarmulka, the word is an acronym for "Yireyh De'Malkah" which means "fear of the Kingdom" meaning that of the Kingdom of Heaven.\nInterestingly enough, this was not orginally Jewish in Origin.\nIn ancient days, when a person stood before a mortal king, they would have to cover their heads.\nWhen Jews had to do the same, they decided, "If we are going to do this for a mortal king, how much more should we do it for the KING of kings?"  Since God is everywhere, you are constantly in the presence of God.  So, it became wide spread to constantly wear some kind of head-covering, even if it is just a hat.  It became a custom to use what is currently today called a Yarmulka, or Kippah.  Yarmulka is the Yiddish word, while Kippah is the Hebrew word.  With many, they will, not only wear the yarmulka, but they will wear a hat on top of it, they will cover their heads twice.  This i forget as to why.

I'm Jewish, don't worry! For me, I would think it would a great thing to do as a mezzuzah does bless the house. Are you putting one up out of respect for your step family or because you do indeed think it will be a blessing and a "mitzvah" to do? If you truly believe in it's sanctity, as it is a sacred object whether then to appease your step family then it's fine.

What is wrong with wearing a symbol of your faith?  I do (I'm not a Christian).  Some Jews wear the Star of David.  Some Wiccans wear a pentacle.  Why are you singling out Christians?

Jews-for-Jesus is a Christian group in Jewish clothing. To learn about the holiday of Passover try some of these good and authentic Jewish resources:\n\nhttp://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/default.asp\nhttp://www.aish.com/passthought/passthoughtdefault/Matzah_The_Taste_of_Freedom.asp

You mean the "akeidat Yitzchak" which is Hebrew for the Binding of Isaac when Abraham offered Isaac up on an altar and almost sacrificed him at God's behest.

In Judaism, circumcision represents the covenant between YHVH and Abraham.  Moses, in not circumcising his son, was reneging on the covenant.

First off, Yahweh God has always had one religion.  The same basic Torah (Law) held true through the Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Messianic dispensations.  What differed is the covenants.  The Mosaic dispensation was an earthly covenant, with promise of long life in the land of Caanan for the physical descendents of Jacob (Israel), because of the promise made to Abraham.  If the Israelites kept Yahweh God's Law, God would protect them in the land of promise.  But the Mosaic covenant had fault, it could not truly remove sin.  But God knew that.  He wanted to show mankind that man would always fall short of His Torah, and only a perfect sacrifice could remove the penalty of sin, that is death.  Hence the death of Messiah.  The same basic Torah holds true under the Messianic dispensation.  The difference is that there is a better priesthood, the Melchizedek priesthood under Messiah, than the Aaronic priesthood of the Mosaic age.  Second, there is a better sacrifice, the sacrifice of Messiah as opposed to the blood of bulls and goats.  Third, there is a better temple...the spiritual temple of the Called-out Assembly (the church), indwelt by Ruach haKadosh (the Holy Spirit), as opposed to a physical temple built by the hands of man.  Fourth, there are better promises: eternal life in a resurrected body made like unto Messiah's in the New Heaven and New Earth, for all mankind who come to Yahewh and call upon His Name, as opposed to physical land promises in Caanan, to the physical descendents of Abraham.\n\nJudaism as it is known today is not the religion of Yahweh under the Mosaic covenant.  It is loosely based upon that religion, but it has required many man-made traditions, and has totally abandoned the Aaronic priesthood with its attendent sacrifices since the destruction of Herod's Temple in Jerusalem by the Roman Army in A.D. 70.  Denominational "Christainity" is also not the religion of Yahweh God, but also only loosely based upon the New Testament.  It too is rife with man-made traditions, and its creeds and names are at variance with New Covenant teachings.  Islam's only claim to fame is that the Arabs are the descendents of Ishmael, Abraham's eldest son, and it is even more loosely based upon the writings of the Old and New Covenants than Judaism and denominational "Christianity".  Nowhere did Yahweh God authorize or foretell that there would be a covenant after the Messianic covenant.  I hope this helps alot.

Superstition.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nSome argumentative persons will argue that the Hebrew name “Yahweh” must only be translated into English as “I am what I am”. Yet such troublemakers fail to explain why they do not translate the Hebrew name “Yeshua” into English as “Jehovah is Salvation” or “I am what I am is Salvation”, which of course their small-minded literalism must surely require with regard to the name we know as “Jesus”.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”.\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

A resounding yes (to the previous post).  Passover is also relevant as it is symbolic of the way in which the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed for us, means we are forgiven of sin, and "passed over" by God's wrath and the death which all of our sins naturally earn for us.

My Religion isn't a religion at all it is a way of life,the way YAH.YAH is the name of what you would call god but he isn't god.YAH's name is featured in the old testament many times go to Sums 68:4. Some may say JAH Or Some other thing but His name is YAH and he is the father of the hebrews.

Many Christian customs are borrowed from idolatrous practices because they were fun and for political purposes to keep us all on the same page. Continuation of the same old story of man and thier governments. \n\n   The original sect of the Nazarene which was a sect of Judaism obeyed the first five books of the Bible which forbid the worshipping of Yahu'eh as the other nations worshipped their idols. Yahushua is Yahu'eh the Saviour. The flesh is the Son of man created by Yahueh thus the Son of Eloah/God. Eloah is a tile for Yahueh. \n\n   Satan counterfieted many of the seed of the woman issues in pagan religions to confuse this issue. The truth is though that none of the women that claimed to be virgins were but were vestel virgins secretly practicing temple prostitution in fertility worship through Nimrod, Astoroth/Easter/Istar/Semiramis/Artemis/Diana the many breasted idol ect... to numerous in names to mention. \n\n  Then after Yahu'shua the Messiah of Nazareth came about 2-300 years culminating in the reforms of Constantine the Great, a Mithra Sun Worshipper supposedly converted to Christianity, all the traditions and custom of this sun male, and moon female, fertility worship of images entered in and nearly wiped out true Messianic or Christian beliefs. This is the great falling away and grevious wolves the original 13 apostles warned us about in many places in the New Testament some even telling us this was already starting in it's infancy in their day.Jude 4, 1John, Paul's writings etc...\n\n  Why? So if you want to be decieved and ultimately worship&#92;bow down to idols which are demons with thier leader Haylel ha Satan or the Adversary then your true intention of your heart willbe revealed to all so that when you are not allowed into the kingdom of Yahueh our God it will be just and apparent to all. Yahushua of Nazareth told parables so that those that would not see & would not be in his kingdom which is a paraphrase of verses written to this effect in the New Testament quoting Yahushua.

Exodus 13:9-- \nAnd it shall be for a SIGN unto thee upon thine hand, and for a MEMORIAL between thine eyes, that Yahweh's Law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.\nEzekiel 20:12-13,16,20-- \n12 Moreover also I gave them MY SABBATHS; to be a SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh that sanctify them. \n13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and MY SABBATHS they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. \n16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my SABBATHS: for their heart went after their idols. \n20 And HALLOW MY SABBATHS; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Yahweh your Father\n. \nThe Hebrew word translated sign is owth, and means mark. When one obeys Yahweh’s Laws, and observes His Ordinances which govern His Feasts--Doing Every Word That Proceeds From Yahweh’s Mouth, this person is marked by Yahweh as belonging to Him. \nYahweh’s mark is in this person’s forehead because this person’s mind is upon Yahweh and His Every Word. Yahweh’s Mark is also in that person’s hands because that person’s hands cease from doing any work on Yahweh’s Sabbaths. Yahweh’s Mark is the sign upon one’s hands and a remembrance between one’s eyes. \n\nIn the same context, when a person obeys Satan--by rebelling against Yahweh in any way--that person is also marked as belonging to Satan! We are told plainly that we are servants to whom we obey, in: \n\nRomans 6:16--\nDo you not know that to WHOM YOU YIELD YOURSELVES AS SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YOU ARE WHOM YOU OBEY--whether of sin, which leads to death, or of Obedience, which leads to righteousness?

see, the whole points of Judaism (or a big part of it) is the fact that it is the exact same thing as it was hundreds of years ago.  it NEVER changed.  the proof is that the thousands of Jews that were at the giving of the torah and it would be hard to convince all those thousands of people, as witnesses, to change it suddenly.  but if you mean how it looked like etc., dont ask me.  hope this helps..8)

Yeshua used to be a common Jewish name, but I have not known this to be a common thing today.  Jews do not take the names of what they would consider to be a false God, and since Christians worship Yeshua (Jesus), then they do not take that name, and some will not even pronounce it!  They will say "Yoshke" or "Yoshkele" or something like that.\n\nThe rest of those are not Jewish names.  But some may have Hebrew equivalents.  For example, if I'm not mistaken, James = Jacob - Yaakov.  There are PLENTY of Jewish Yaakov's.

Try Google image search. If you can't find a drawing maybe you could draw some yourself based on a photograph.\n\nI have no idea what "Jewish shoes" are supposed to be though. I wasn't aware that being Jewish meant you had to wear specialized footwear. ;)
