A priest once asked a rabbi, “Why do you wear a hat and a skullcap underneath it? Isn’t the hat sufficient? Our cardinals and bishops wear a head covering as a symbol of a roof over their heads. But they don’t wear one head covering on top of another.” The rabbi responded: “A cow or a horse in a barn or stable has a roof over its head. We Jews want not only the roof under which even a cow or horse dwells, but a symbol of civilization as well – a ceiling!”
