Reply To: Whats wrong with chumros?

oomis1105 – Yes, it is wrong to misuse chumros (doing because of geivah, imposing on others), just like it is wrong to misuse kulos (go around trying to find the most meikel shitah in everything).

“Certainly as soon as someone decides other people who do NOT follow the same chumrah are not as frum as he is, he is already in the wrong.”

And somebody who decides that anybidy who is keeping chumros he is not is “too frum” is just as wrong.

About the white shirts:

As I have said before, I do not believe white shirts are worn to look respectable, rather they are worn to show that a person identifies himself with a certain group of bnei Torah.
