Dilemmas

I wear a Kippa, or Yarmulka, all the time. Unless I am in bed or the shower, I have it on. And like every rule, there is one exception. When I play hockey or basketball, I take it off.

I have tried playing with baseball caps instead, or other forms of head covering, and I can not find something that works for me in terms of comfort and reliability that it will not fall off.

But tonight, my eight-year-old son is coming to watch me play. He is off from school, and has been asking to come since the season started, so I told him he could come tonight.

I don't think it is wrong not to wear a kippah when you are playing. But at his age, I would rather he didn't see me playing without a Kippah.
