Zionflag- I wear my white socks while visiting my elderly grandparents on Chol Hamoed.

I vote for gold toe socks. Which Mashgiach is going to check if I’m gold toe or green toe.
By the way there is a chalukas hadaos if you wear from of the loom on rosh Hashona
A – if you have to make a cheschiyonu
B – if you dip it into the honey

White socks look silly with black suits, but these folks generally could care less about making fashion statements.

While not a Belzer chosid, I admire much of what the Belzer Rebbe has done with his community. Yet, I find this issue comical. I am sure there are issues that are much more important that color socks. Have we merited Moshiach? Our Avodas Hashem must be lacking enough that improvements are needed, even though we just wiped our slates clean with Yom Kippur. And all we find important is the color of socks?

Fashion is very interesting, but is it “news”?
