i think people here are missing the boat
nobody is saying that there isnt kovod by wearing a hat or jacket for davening.it all depends on your hashkafa
in todays day and age the hat and jacket became important and davening doesnt. people tell me all the time i would become frum but i dont want to wear the uniform
if u would ask hashem “do u want daveners or hat and jacket wearers”? what would he say?
[just so everybody knows im a black hatter and try to wear my hat and jacket all the time for tefilla}
i think we should stress going to davening and what its about and then work on halochos and kovod
