Sigh.

I’m just utterly amazed at the arguing over whether or not wearing a colored shirt makes you a better Jew, a ben Torah or anything else.

My yiras HaShem, my avodas HaShem, my Shmiras HaMitzvos and my emunah are not affected by the color of my shirt. My emunah does not grow when I wear one of my white shirts. It does not shrink when I wear one of my blue shirts. The mitzvos I observe does not change whether I’m wearing white, blue, teal, maroon or purple (and yes, I own and wear button down shirts in all those colors). I don’t learn any more or less Torah based on the color and the quality of my learning does not change. My connection to HKBH is the same regardless of what shirt I’m wearing.

If you want to think less of me because I wear colored shirts (or more of me if you see me wearing a white shirt), that’s your problem, not mine — and it’s really a silly thing to judge a person’s worth upon.
