Reply To: Yarmulkas vs. Baseball Caps (why?)

Its nice that so many people are quick to be dan likav zechus. And I suppose I should have included a longer list of appropriate reasons to wear a baseball cap instead of a yarmulke, as many of you have mentioned some that I did not include in my original post. Yes, many people wear a cap because of the wind, or because they dont want their yarmulke to get dirty, and i am sure we can think of a bunch more good reasons.

BUT you are kidding yourselves if you dont realize that many people wear baseball caps simply because they dont want to be identified as (frum) Jews. Whether it is at an amusement park (on a non-windy day) or in a mall out of town, or while away on vacation, there are definitely people who purposefully take off their yarmulke to avoid recognition.

I apologize if people felt i was lumping those who wear caps for good reasons with those who dont.
