How many times have we heard cases where a judge requested a jew to remove his yarmulke in the courtroom because the opposing attorney objected?

It’s bias, the judge was wrong, and the attorney was a coward to removing the ashes.

The attorney could have declined and asked for a continuance. Too bad he wiped them off his forehead.

He was no coward. He was the prosecuting attorney. Why take chances on a mistrial. Not a time to make a constitutional issue here.

I don't know about "opposing attorney", but judges frequently request Jews remove skullcaps in courtrooms. There is usually no real objection to this from the standpoint of Jewish religious law.

I believe most observant Jews who are trial lawyers do remove skullcaps whenever in court.
