Anyone have sources and more info on this topic? Thanks! September 4, 2011 7:33 pm at 7:33 pm #805928 WIYMember Nu? September 4, 2011 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm #805929 bein_hasdorimParticipant 1) It is the minhag Hamakom today for many if not most people to walk around at home without shoes. 2) It is not the Minhag Hamakom of Minhag Aveilus here today to walk around without shoes or slippers. Idk about barefoot though. September 4, 2011 7:45 pm at 7:45 pm #805930 deiyezoogerMember My parents were very makpid. I don’t, as soon as I walk into the door I get rid of my shues. September 4, 2011 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm #805931 WIYMember Is this lehalacha? Sources? September 4, 2011 7:52 pm at 7:52 pm #805932 deiyezoogerMember Hakachah? No (I don’t think its mantioned anywere). Al titosh toras imachah? Maybe. September 4, 2011 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #805933 AbellehParticipant The Shulchan aruch and mishna brura say it isn’t tzniut, however R Moshe said now its no longer considered untzinuit, so its permissible. September 4, 2011 8:30 pm at 8:30 pm #805934 bein_hasdorimParticipant Abelleh; can you tell me where Reb Moshe says this. just want to look it up. Thanks. September 4, 2011 9:25 pm at 9:25 pm #805935 deiyezoogerMember We are not discussing here the ishue of tzeniyos. September 4, 2011 10:16 pm at 10:16 pm #805936 Sam2Participant The Aruch Hashulchan quotes that there is nothing possible that is more disgusting (wrong word but close enough) to do than to walk around barefoot. I still feel that it is a very societal thing though. September 4, 2011 11:04 pm at 11:04 pm #805937 Abe CohenParticipant Why would the A”H bring down societal trends that have no basis in Yiddishkeit? September 4, 2011 11:35 pm at 11:35 pm #805938 Sam2Participant Abe: There are plenty of times where Yiddishkeit cares about societal norms.

September 5, 2011 12:19 pm at 12:19 pm #805941 ToiParticipant the orchas tyzdikkim says that the absolute most digusting thing is being drunk. i assue he means more then bartefoot. September 5, 2011 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm #805942 WIYMember Toil Drunk and barefoot is obviously worse. A real drunk goes barefoot. If the guy is still wearing shoes he isn’t drunk vee is darft tzu zein!

You haven’t seen anything till you see him trying to polish his feet! 😉 Author Posts Viewing 18 posts - 1 through 18 (of 18 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
