To each his own
West Milford, N.J.: To Voicer Ralph Rivera: Different customs for different people. In synagogues, men are required to cover their heads. A hat is fine, but it is usually a skullcap known as a kippah in Hebrew. Many Orthodox men wear them all the time as a constant reminder of their devotion and respect to G-d. Traditionally, married women wear hats or kerchiefs in synagogue. Betty E. Weisblum
