...led by the hand in order to make the connection made by the "framing device.

BTW: Does the "bareheaded" Tevye of today indicate that the idea of wearing of a yarmulke is now "as crazy as a "fiddler on the roof"?

I think that would be stretching the point to find too much symbolism in things, as we are all so wont to do, lol.

I think the simpler explanation is - in a show where tradition is questioned as much as it is celebrated - the "tradition" of wearing kipot (though some would certainly argue wearing them is a religious commandment, not just a "tradition") is not observed as it once was.
