rebdoniel,
The money you make is not yours. It belongs to HaShem.
And is Silver not a frum Jew because he doesn’t wear is tzitzit out? How do you know that he wasn’t told by his rabbi not to wear a yarmulke in public? I’m aware of other Orthodox public figures who are not rabbis that they MUST not wear a yarmulke because people might think that they are a rabbi and that their public statements might mistaken for halachah. Furthermore, in most of Europe, even the most frum Jews don’t wear yarmulkes. Two summers ago I visited two European capitals and the only Jews I ever saw with a yarmulke were tourists from America like myself. In fact, one of my rabbis went out of his way to forbid me from thinking negatively about European Jews who did not wear yarmulkes.
