Should a man wear a yarmulke to a Jewish funeral if he isn't Jewish?

Answer 1

There are no rules on what to wear to a funeral

but it is customary to dress up in a modest way

(no shorts / mini skirts and no sleeveless shirts)

Most Jewish people will wear dark colours at a funeral.

Answer 2

It is also used in Jewish funerals to go with black clothing. However, this can not have other bright colour or flowers on them, as these indicate happiness. It is best to wear clothing that is simple, and doesn't have much neckline or transparencies. Children, however, may go with everyday clothing. I repeat, as long as it is simple, but it doesn't necessarily have to be black.

This also depends on the level of Orthodoxy or religiousness and whatever your family's customs are, your personal beliefs, and how you decide to take your religion, as Orthodox Jews have a different type of apparel for everyday life.

Answer 3

yes he should because that is the peoples religion who are mourning that person

Jewish Answer:Although it is a show of respect for a man to wear a kippa for any Jewish religious service, this is not a requirement if the person is not Jewish. If the individual does not feel comfortable wearing a kippa, no one would by insulted by this.

Answer 4

No, any more than a Non-cop, say even a zealous police buff, wear a real NYPD or other badge. it just isn"t done, parading about under false Flags!

Answer 5

If the service is at a synagogue, there will be a box of kippot for you to take one. It is generally considered respectful to wear one. Note that some Reform congregations, particularly those described as classical Reform, do not use kippot. At those congregations, kippot will not be supplied.
