Do i have to wear a yarmulke at a Jewish Wedding if I am Catholic?
I have heard both sides of the argument and I have a Jewish wedding to go to this weekend. Some are telling me that I have to wear one, and others are telling me that only Jewish people have to wear one. A: Well, the difference between you wearing one and a religious Jew wearing one, is that the Jewish man is wearing it as a religious symbol. When you wear one at the wedding, it shows a great deal of respect to the bride and groom as well as to the holy building the ceremony is in. My advice, wear it. If you do not wear it, you will appear to be disrespecting the temple or synagogue. Just as in some other holy buildings we cover up exposed flesh as a sign of respect to the religion, the principal of respect is the same in this case. Have fun at the wedding!
