i know someone who was in a store in the mall shopping for a coat. she wanted a certain coat but they didn’t have her size. she asked the saleslady if they have it, she said no but pointed to a bright green coat and said-isn’t this nice….errrr sorry, and she got all embarrased, and said oh sorry i didn’t realize you guys are only allowed to wear black and no colors.
what i’m trying to say is that the goyim think wer’e crazy in a lot of ways not just with men in black and white. they see chassidim in the mall on chol hamoed with their streimels and white tights with 10 kids around them all matching clothes0-to them they look like aliens from mars! we are different then the goyim- but you know what? that’s what hashem wants from us that we SHOULD be different and we SHOULDN’T assimilate and be like them. we should feel good about our way of life and feel proud that we have purpose to our life. wer’e not llike the emptyheaded goyim who just eat out and laugh the whole day. we shouldn’t be embarrased or feel uncomfortable at all we should be PROUD.
