Reply To: Approriate Attire For Shul

Response to Apushatayid: please do not misunderstand my position. I’m not trying to put my standard on anyone else. But, I think there is a minimum standard for dress in shul. I don’t think it’s asking too much for people who go to work in a jacket, and long pants, to have them have the same standard for shul as for work. We need to remember that a shul is a makom kodesh. We should try to present ourselves in the best way, dressed like we’re going to see someone important, which we are. My concern is that some people don’t see that going to shul should have at least the same chashivus, dress wise as going to work.
