Reply To: Take a lesson from a taxi driver

Joseph, yes, I think that someone wearing a colored shirt should be allowed to daven for the amud on Shabbos (assuming it’s a nice, respectful shirt – maybe a nice blue one, for example.)

Avram, he said it to me while walking to shul for Friday night davening. The fact is they said no to any time because of the kippah I wear. I’ve had times where I was asked to daven in a shul and they asked that I put the tallis over my head (which I usually do anyway when davening for the amud.) I have no problem with it. My issue is their assuming that someone with a kippah srugah is at a level that isn’t good enough for them.
