Adventures in Judaism.

So. I don't have any real news to report. But I do have an amusing story. I was talking to a friend online, who is Jewish.
He's my general resource for questions about Jews and Judaism in general. Something I have always wondered, was, "How do bald guys keep the yarmulke on their heads?"
So, I asked him. Sadly, he didn't know. But, this made him very curious as well. So, he called his rabbi. (This in itself is hilarious to me, that it was perplexing enough to
call an authority on the subject.) Apparently- double stick tape. Kara was curious as to whether or not the tape should be kosher, or if there was such a thing as kosher tape.
There isn't by the way, if you were wondering about that.

In other news, (but still similar news) I was also curious as to the purpose of the yarmulke in general. Whether it was a respect thing, or a style thing or a 'Hey, my head needs a hubcap' thing.
He assured me it was a hub cap thing. No, apparently it's a respect thing, that they wear in times of prayer. Which, is also interesting, just not as funny.
There you go. My adventures learning about Judaism.
