But sometimes our conversations and our noise level are not befitting a place of worship. If we respect God and are coming to worship Him we should not be talking about the latest action movie or football game two minutes before we have the call to prayer. One of the signs of respect is the ancient Jewish tradition of men wearing a kippah, or head covering during worship. Wearing a kippah in services shows the separation between being in a place of worship and an ordinary place. In Jewish tradition it does not matter if you are observant or even if you have a Jewish background.
All men wear a kippah in worship as a sign of respect.
Respect is not only a feeling or an attitude, but it will always have a visible expression. As Ruth and Boaz begin to move down the pathways of courtship, Ruth appeals to Boaz to perform for her the role of a near kinsman. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman. Now it is true that I am a goel. Naomi recognizes the reliability of Boaz.
