Reply To: Kittel Scam

Squeak, the Mrs. picked out the kittel, along with the Tallis. The advantage of my current kittel is that it’s machine washable, taking money away from my dry cleaners.

I never studied the inyan, but I was always under the impression that tachrichin was a way of cutting costs. Why not outsource it to China and lower funeral costs for everyone? I doubt there’s an inyan of “lishma” by tachrichin.

Note to the Mrs.’s- get your husband a brand-new linen kittel for his birthday/anniversary! What better way to improve shalom bayis than a brand new linen kittel he can take with him?
