“Sometimes you say things that make it sound like you aren’t really Frum yet, but other times, you are asking detailed questions about specific halachos that make it sound like you are very Frum and concerned about keeping every detail of halacha.”
LU: I agree and it’s the weirdest thing.
Did I already share this story? Last week I went with a friend to a clothing store in Jerusalem. It was the Israeli version of freezing outside and she needed to upgrade her resources. My friend found a winter coat [resource] and read the label: Wool and polyester.
After seeing “wool” I said to the extent of, “What if it has linen?!”
The sales person then went on to say that the company is 100% Israeli, adheres to halacha, and they serve all the datiyim here.
It was the weirdest thing. I was dressed dati. [Oh yes I did share this story I think in another thread?] But the sales lady had no clue that I just happened to be dressed dati that day to go to the Kotel. The day before I looked like a chiloni.
However that question came from me. I meant it. I really don’t want to buy shatnez. I really don’t want to encourage my friend to buy something with shatnez.
All I can say is that if and when I do something, I like to do it for real. I’m still figuring it out.
Thank you LU 🙂
