For some reason that makes me recall the Jewish kids in my class when I was a youngster that would have their favourite sports teams logos knitted or embroidered into their yarmulkes--if that's kosher, then...wow! :P Could you imagine somebody wearing a cross that said "Packers"?

A stripe of paint provides the same protection a green light gives you to cross an intersection in a vehicle. It gives you the weight of the law, which is the best you can get in a society governed by laws. When drivers can't or won't see half a square meter of brightly colored fabric in bright sunlight to avoid a bicyclist, remind me how a 6" diameter light is more visible? Pat |

You're trying to provoke other people into doing all the leg work for you, so you could then enjoy the fruits of /their/ labours, ya lazy b- ... person. Fortunately, your approach is ineffective and self-destructing, and all you've accomplished is to annoy a bunch of people around the world. -- -- Nothing is safe from me.

What are the yarmulke specs exactly? Is it simply suggested to cover the rearward portion of the head? Then a teensy yarmulke, like the ones my schoolmates used to wear, the size of tea saucers, are kind of like the super carbon fiber high zoot versions--the least weight you can get away with. LOL. If I were Jewish and of the head covering persuasion, I'd hope that a nice fedora or basque beret would be kosher. |

What are the yarmulke specs exactly? The wearing of kippot, or yarmulkes, is a matter of minhag, of custom, rather than of Jewish law. It's a tradition that is relatively recent, having only been developed in the middle ages. As a result, compared to some other traditions, there's fewer rules about what qualifies. For example, in some chassidic communities they wear a striemel, a fur hat, as a kippah. The best discussion I could find on line is he http://scheinerman.net/judaism/synagogue/objects2.html (scroll down to Kippah (Yarmulke)) If I were Jewish and of the head covering persuasion, I'd hope that a nice fedora or basque beret would be kosher. There's someone in my synagogue who comes to services in western boots, jeans, a black leather vest, a big belt buckle, and a stetson. Hey, it works. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

Given that half the riders you see wear them as if they /were/ a yarmulke this is not a surprise :-) Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
