apushatayid – “Regarding boys wearing shorts. Is there anyone who is offended by it? Is there anyone who holds it is an absolute issur? Is it age dependent? If yes, what is that age?”
I don’t think it is so much a halachic problem as it is that some people feel it is inappropriate for a mature ben Torah to wear shorts. After all, the reasoning goes, you don’t see chashuva Rabbonim (or even li’havdil chushva goyim) going around in shorts, do you?
