Reply To: Following Halacha

I don’t get why people say there is no basis in halacha for something when there is plenty, then get mad at me when I say there is.
regarding hats and jackets, there are 2 main reasons for it being mandatory: Omeid Lifnei Hamelech and being covered during davening…
The Mishnah Berurah says in se’if 90 se’if Katan 1 that one must be covered properly during davening since it is improper to daven unless you are dressed as if to see a king. society has decided that proper attire is a jacket. The Shulchan Aruch in that se’if says you must have a head covering.

regarding a hat, the Rambam says in Hilchos Tefillah perek 5 halacha 5 that it is the derech Chachamim to only daven with a head covering.

@rational; The yeshivos that I have gone to did not say ‘thats the way it is’, they showed me sources. I don’t know where you went, but that’s not what I experienced, and it is not nonsense if you actually do a tiny tiny bit of research.
