[Jewish-fluxx] Latest change thoughts

[Solomon Davidoff]

Now I know that supporting the Kippah aspect of the rule does seem to 
favor men, but there ARE women who are members of various movements 
within Judaism who wear Kipot . . . so having the kippah as an aspect 
of Judaica fits . . . keep in mind, not everyone wears a kipah, but not 
everyone wears a Chai either . . . 

Not to get into the religious aspect, but in some ways it's NOT "all 
about the symbols" within Judaism . . . that's why I like the 
difference of having a "Cross" rule, and a "Judaica" rule. 

I would also suggest that the Cross card allow for wearing a Cross or 
Crucifix . . . just because i know some RL *somewhere* * will end up 
arguing that they're different enough for the latter not to count . . . 
*grin*.
