Quick Yom Kippur Notes

During fall and early winter, people (OK, me) complain about the fact that it gets dark too early. However, on Yom Kippur, I constantly looked to the synagogue skylight hoping that it would be dark.

I also wanted to point out that during the high holidays, I saw the following yarmulkes: Philadelphia Eagles (3), Washington Redskins, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals (saint in a synagogue?), and a couple with either a basketball or soccer ball pattern plus one Pittsburgh Steelers tie (that was me). Surprisingly, there were no Obamicas or McCippahs as mentioned by Arjewtino referring to VanityKippah.com.
