About Me

Hello I am Dan Torres. Well any way in 2003 I created Yarmulke Day. Yarmulke Day is always celebrated the day before Winter Break when students of all races and religions wear Yarmulkes (or Yamikas as it is generally pronounced). It all started when teachers waived the "No Hat Policy" for Santa hats so I thought well, ya know what, then I want to wear a hat too! This year in New Paltz/The World Yarmulke Day is December 21st. The best part of this is Yarmulkes are not considered Holy items like a Torah, and legally they can't tell you to take them off. So show some support and add this profile to your Top Friends list! I am not sure how you want to look at this holiday, it originally was a rebellious thing, but my joke proved more important and is now more of a day of tolerance, uniting and peace. A day when kids of all races and religions can come together and show respect, a yarmulke in the Jewish faith is a sign of respect to a higher law so on Yarmulke Day people have respect for not only that but each other and that means all people. Any one can celebrate Yarmulke Day all religions and races are encouraged. But you can celebrate it how ever you want.
