tzippi: I was merely replying to a scenario that Kapusta had put forth.
I”m not saying out of town areas dress in chinos, sandals, etc..
However in a case where a black hatter, dark suited, guy would feel out of place
this where the question comes in play, & I answered accordingly.
Tzippi, out of town is not limited just to Monsey,
you probably haven’t been around.
there are many places, where a guest would find himself
the only hat in the shul. (not including caps)
One shul I was at, was looking for a Rabbi/Bal koreh/Bal Tefillah…
I looked like a suitable Rabbi for them!
& I dont look like a Rabbi!!!
SJSinNYC: about the spinoff, 🙂
I must try 2 avoid any heated discussions during the 3 weeks.
