Juulie - as you may know, there are at least five different "strains" of Judiasm. I can only speak for the Reform group. We have dispensed with many of the symbolic rituals (including wearing yarmulkes in shul - although I still do) so I don't think this one ritual was singled out for any specific reason.
You'd have to ask an Orthodox Jew for a definitive answer, and I doubt there are any on this board. Maybe Romano can help, since he is in Israel.
BTW - what do you think of what's going on with the coaching staff at Tigard HS? Weird, huh?
