    Since you are not Jewish, you are not required to wear a yarmulke; however, it would be polite to do so anyway (the first young lady answering your question is incorrect). If a congregation is particular about it, they will usually have a sign posted saying so, but certainly nobody will think twice if you wear one. There should be a container of them at the door of most synagogues that leads into the sanctuary; you might want to bring a bobby pin or three to keep it in place. You can also bring one of your own, if you prefer.

    Source(s): I'm Jewish.
