First, go there with *class*.  Don't be obnoxious and do anything
that would damper the festivities.  Be cordial to the other participants.
Blend in and don't make waves.  It's a privilege that you're invited to
this event.  Treat it like an excursion to a Gala at the "White House"
(or at least that kind of respect).

If they make an offer towards you to wear the little skull cap, and you 
confirm with them that it's not any skin off of their nose if you do wear
it (since you're not of their faith), then go ahead.  I wouldn't ask for
one, but if they offer and they ain't got any problems... that's fine with
me.
