[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 60523, member: 4990"] When Jews Wore Turbans It would seem that most Canadian Jews were pleased with the Supreme Court of Canada decision, a few years ago, upholding the Sikhs' right to wear turbans in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ("RCMP"). After all, many of us also have vested interests in keeping our heads covered as part of our own traditional religious observances. A skull-cap is of course easier to accommodate than a turban, as it may be discreetly placed underneath a Mountie hat. But some of our ancestors were also turban-wearers. As with many items in Jewish history, this fact continues to affect us in some surprising ways. To take a rather simple example: the daily prayers recited by observant Jews include a benediction praising God "Who crowns Israel with glory."
