The Italian Chachamim
( Gedolim) shaved their beards*, grew long hair and didn't wear
Yarmulkas
Today, this sounds very
strange,but it wasn't then.
The picture of R, Moshe
Chafetz (Meleches Machsheves)was doctored and a Yarmulka
was added on.by an ignorant person/artist.
He also made him look older
than the original picture, not knowing Ben Meah
Shana is a play on words and meant the Gematria of
Meah (46 years) and not hundred
years. (R.M. Ch. died at age
47)
The Maharshal and other
Poskim hold, Halachicly there is no reason not to say Dvorim Shebikdusha
without a head covering.
R Yehuda Arye Modina** (Bais
Lechem Yehuda- Ari Nohem etc.) writes on himself, he learned
without head covering...
The Bais Yosef and others
argue, and require head covering even when not saying Devorim
Shebikdusha..
*The Chasam Sofer writes all Chachmei Italy(even
Kabbalists) were clean shaven.
** He also was the
mechaber of the Yom Kippur Katan Piyut "Yom Zeh Yehi Mishkal-"
