Felix Klein warned Jews against donning the kippa in parts of the country following a rise in anti-Semitism.
He said his opinion on the matter had "changed compared with what it used to be".
Israel's President Reuven Rivlin said the recommendation amounted to "an admittance that, again, Jews are not safe on German soil".
A sharp increase in the number of anti-Semitic offences was recorded by the German government last year.
Official figures showed 1,646 hate crimes against Jews were committed in 2018 - an increase of 10% on the previous year.
Physical attacks against Jews in Germany also rose in the same period, with 62 violent incidents recorded, up from 37 in 2017.
Speaking to the Handelsblatt newspaper, Justice Minister Katarina Barley said the increase in anti-Semitic crimes was "shameful for our country".
What did Mr Klein say? "I cannot recommend to Jews that they wear the skullcap at all times everywhere in Germany," he told the Funke newspaper group.
Mr Klein suggested "the lifting of inhibitions and the uncouthness" of society could be behind the spike in anti-Semitic crimes.
The internet, social media and "constant attacks against our culture of remembrance" may be contributing factors, he said.
He also called for police officers, teachers, and lawyers to receive training to clarify "what is allowed and what is not" when "dealing with anti-Semitism".
His comments came weeks after Germany's top legal expert on anti-Semitism said the prejudice remained "deeply rooted" in German society.
"Anti-Semitism has always been here. But I think that recently, it has again become louder, more aggressive and flagrant," Claudia Vanoni told the AFP news agency.

Actually the question is did Germans who are in charge and those that elected them hate Jews enough to want to bring in en masse a group that would do the dirty work for them?
The answer is yes.
That’s not too hard for me to believe.
How about they tell the muzzie women NOT to wear their head coverings,,,,,,yeah, that’ll happen.
To prove they are not the same people who wanted to kill all Jews, Germany imported millions of people who want to kill all Jews.

Exactly right. Importing islamo fascists and acting like everything’s normal is another Orwellian reality we’re supposed to live with. Like the dirt bag mayor of London likes to say.. acid attaches, random stabbings, bombs, rape, child trafficking.. are just part of living in a big city. Get used to it. Merkel thinks the same way.
