Zahavasdad-If Obama wore jeans in the White House, what would you think of our leadership? When the people you mentioned wear jeans,they are not representing their companies, they are home. However, Jews are a ‘light unto the nations’ and always represent Hashem. We should always look respectable, and jeans with a t-shirt just doesn’t do it.

thehock-thanks for the reminder. That is the only way to deal with it, to strengthem my other children so they can handle any backlash.

tahini-thanks.

I hope people don’t think I’m implying that Torah communities are speaking lashon hara, chas v’shalom. Like anything else you might feel could adversely affect your children, l’toeles, you might tell your kids to stay away from something..right? That’s all I meant.
