| Today in LA: Day of Atonement I don't know much about the Jews or anything...so this question may sound slightly ignorant... But, I was watching the news about today being a holiday, and the Mayor of LA, Antonia Villaraigosa, was at a synagogue and was wearing one of those skull cap things... Is that like, OK in Judiasm? I mean, if it wasn't I'm sure there would have been outrages, and he's certainly not Jewish... But, I'm just wondering if there are rules about that hat thing... | ||||

| its called a KIppah, apparently, ..., though I've always called it a yarmulke. Kippah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The times I've been in synagogue I wore one,. It was almost absent-mindedly handed to me I'm not jewish & it was a fleeting visit to what i believe was a fairly liberal establishment. | ||||

| All males in the temple/cermony wear them. It is a sign of respect not religion. | ||||
