OATH VS. HAT

Warsaw Rabbis Asked Whether
Jewish Oath Without Hat
Is Valid.

WARSAW.—(J. T. A.)—
Must a Jewish religious oath,
rendered in court for legal pur-
poses, be made by the individ-
ual with his hat on?
To answer this question a full
session of the Warsaw Bobbin
ate was called. The matter, it
was explained, has legal im-
portance in view of a case'
which recently occurred in the
Warsaw courts. A Jew who ap-
peares1 as a witness in taking
oath refused to wear his hat.
The court was in doubt whether
a Jewish religious oath, made
by the person with his hat off,
is valid. The president of the
Peace Court directed an in-
quiry to the Warsaw Rabbinate.
