A commenter on a social media post asks why Rick Rubin, who is Jewish, appeared on a red carpet alongside Jay-Z wearing what appears to be Orthodox priestly vestments including a pectoral cross. The commenter questions whether this constitutes mockery of Orthodoxy or a form of role-play, using the term "larping."
