Yes to all three and also when walking, standing, sitting and any other time that you are awake. CYA Lechvod harav, How can you say that someone MUST wear a kippah. We all know there is no chiuv to wear a kippah nor is it a misvah. Maran writes in shulchan aruch "lo yelech arba amot bgalui rosh" (you shouldnt walk 4 amot with your head uncovered) however if you are technichal with the language he says lo yelech, and not asur. so you can not say that one MUST wear a kippah. rather you can say its a thing to do. ( even though i feel its worse because of all the chulul hashems you would be making during the day, for example cutting someone off on the highway or anything that you can not garantee that you will not do.) So i feel that your putting so much at risk(a chilul hashem which is the worst sin you can commit) just to perfrom a nice custom (Kippah).. but the risk to return is too great in my eyes. Mike
