cantoresq: I’d like to make a point, If someone made it already,
sorry, I didnt read all posts. I’m not going into that “uniform”
conversation, that has nothing to do with Shabbos!
I understand your working hard all week & Shabbos is a day of rest.
However it is a holy day, holier than any Yom Tov or day. (see maariv leil Shabbos)Shabbos requires respect & holiness, see, kiddush, & zemiros shabbos, etc..
The word kavod is applied to shabbos. When one goes to see the President
one dresses appropriately even though he is a goy & sometimes & pera Odom!
This is for respect, especially if one visits a King or Queen,
even more so if they are actually Respectable, & Honorable.
One cannot use an excuse when visiting a King in casual attire, since he
dresses formal all week, he wants to be comfortable in his casual attire.
Shabbos is a Queen, I’m not saying what color suit or shoes
one should wear or color shirt, (although an inyan to wear white on shabbos)
just be honest with yourself, & wear what would be considered universally
respectable to visit a president as opposed to what one would wear golfing.
At least for Shul & Seudos, after that im sure you are allowed to enjoy
Oneg Shabbos, in comfortable attire.
For Shabbos can’t even be compare to any President or human King!)
In the Zchus That we show proper respect for the Holy Shabbos
may the world bestow respect on our Holy Nation, & may we merit the
Geulah Shleima, B’korov! Omein!
