Active in the Jewish community

"Bobby pins would have slid off Carlos Delgado's bald head, so he used sticky tape to make sure the yarmulke stayed in its proper place. Shawn Green was getting married, and it wouldn't be kosher if the guys in the wedding party looked unkempt.

Delgado chuckled as he recalled the story. Yes, the anecdote was true, but when he was probed for more minutiae, like whether he danced the hora, Delgado scoffed. It's all in the details, he was told, and Delgado nodded. Here was one more piece of advice he could tuck away and share with Green at a later date. Be cognizant of the details."

""I'll try to blend in and contribute when I can," said Green. He and his wife plan to live in Manhattan, where they'll soak in new cultures and become active in the Jewish community. Delgado promised to remind him of his priorities, should Green's attention be diverted. Delgado's used to guiding Green. They were at Delgado's wedding in Puerto Rico last December when Delgado made his own request. If Delgado could tape a yarmulke to his head, Green could salsa dance."
