on: In the Indianapolis 500, the winner has to kneel and kiss the bricks on the track . Would a Jew be allowed to do this?
: I do not know the origin of this custom that you mention, but the answer to your question is, kneeling and kissing the bricks is allowed if it is a symbol of the symbols of the race, and symbolizes the victory ceremony for the winners of the race. However, if the kissing of the bricks symbolizes some symbol of foreign labor or comes as a custom from the customs of idol worshippers, this is forbidden. Sources and reasoning
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
