Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756/ultimateskier-I know I should have been quiet, or at least I shouldn’t have made an accusing comment. But should I tell him that I appreciate that he’s wearing tsitsit? It happened again today, he asked me to iron it for him, so I nonchalantly ironed it like I iron all the other clothes. I know I went a bit overboard by getting so excited the other day, but we have a simcha in a few months, and I am desperate for him to wear black and white (Yes! I admit that I’d like him to wear black and white…even if it’s just for the pictures. Is that wrong?) So tisitsit is a step in the right direction, not to mention, the right spiritual direction. I’m trying not to discuss it, however, especially since he’s already commented that he’ll be wearing his blue jeans and t-shirt. And the truth is, I am preparing myself for the jeans scenario, since he most probably will not give us the satisfaction…
