common> this is not about minhagim this is about common

But what can I do – my humbleness exceeds my courtesy. If I feel I am not at the level of Talmidei Chachamim and me dressing like that would be hutzpah and hillul Hashem, does it mean I am not allowed to daven with Talmidei Chachamim and with people who have no problem dressing like Talmidei Chachamim?

I was never told by a Talmid Chacham that I should leave davening because my presence or dress offends him. So, this settles the first item. From a kal vahomer, the second group should not object either.

And indeed why should my humbleness be offensive to someone anyway? I am not asking them to take their shtreimels off. Next, you’ll throw reb Zusya out of your shul.
