What else can I help you with?
Can non-Jewish people enter a synagogue on their own?
Yes. There is no restriction regarding entering a synagogue. To respect the feelings of the people there, you should try to cover your head. There are usually kippot - Jewish hats - available for people who have no hat of their own. Clothing should be modest; and conversations should be conducted after the prayer-services have ended. In most cases, people will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
How should people behave in a synagogue?
With reverence and decorum.
Should people have to travel miles to worship god at pilgrimages?
If people think this is necessary, by all means, they can worship wherever they please, be it a church, synagogue mosque, on a pilgrimage or in their kitchen, it really does not matter!!
Why do women have to wear hats or scarfs to worship in a synagogue?
Married religiously observant Jewish women cover their hair in public once they're married, not just in synagogue. Less observant Jewish women who are married often cover their hair in synagogue. This is due to the Torah specifying that a woman's hair is sensual and her beauty should be reserved for her husband.
Why do Jewish men and boys have to wear skull caps when they enter the synagogue?
A Mitzvah is a commandment from God that Jewish men must follow. A Bar Mitzvah is an adulthood ceremony where a boy becomes a man. Wearing the Skullcap and Tallit in a synagogue is one Mitzvah that Jewish men are obliged to keep.
Should a non Jewish person stand before an open ark containing Torahs?
It depends on the type of synagogue, this might be allowed in some Reform and Conservative synagogues.
If you are Jewish and Catholic should you go to church or temple or both?
Are you asking should a Jew who has converted to Catholicism go to mass? Isn't that a requirement of the Catholic church? If you are asking about a Catholic convert to Judaism, one wonders why that person would want to go to church at all. If the question regards the child of a mixed marriage you've got to know that... The practice of Christianity centers around the church. Its important rituals all take place within the church building. The practice of Judaism, on the other hand, centered in the home. However, because so few mixed-religion families are able to provide instruction and keep observance of Torah attendance at a synagogue becomes very important. The children of 'blended' families get great benefits they are unlikely to receive at home--especially learning and being part of the Jewish community. If this fits your case, I highly recommend becoming a part of a synagogue.
Are hats disrespectful?
Hats on , hats off. If you are Jewish, men should be wearing a yarmulke in Synagogue[ or all the time if thy are Orthodox ], if you are Catholic , it's hats off in church for men. Catholic women used to have to wear some sort of headcovering in church, but not any more.I actually had a nun pin a kleenex on my head with a bobby pin one day. Things change . Hats off inside are generally considered courteous. Of course , yarmulkes are always acepptable anywhere for Jewish men.
Is a non-Jewish person allowed in a Jewish synagogue?
Emphatically Yes. It should happen far more often than it does, and would be a wonderful way to dispel a lot of the ignorance, fairy tales, and general hogwash that are constantly floating to the surface here in this category of WikiAnswers.
What time do Jewish people eat?
Judaism does not specify when people should eat.
Should people that get married in a church be christian?
In my mind, they should be, but they do not have to be.
Do i capitalize Jewish?
