My hat

hats

I wear a hat on most occasions and it’s not because I have something growing on my head (I think) but it’s because of my faith in G-D.  In the Bible/Torah there is a section called the Shema which is extremely holy to the Jewish faith.  The first paragraph reads.

Hear, O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is One

You shall love the L-rd your G-d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates

By wearing a hat I’m able to look and see the rim of my hat. This is my sign that is between my eyes that I love G-D and that G-D is present all the time.  I only wear a yamaka/skull cap when I go to Shul because of tradition or in places that don’t allow me to wear a hat. The reason I won’t wear a Yamaka all the time because I don’t follow all the “traditional/Talmudic” rules that others who wear this item would and therefore don’t want to appear hypocritical or even sacrilegious to the more traditional Jewish or Gentile person.
