Helpful. “Well known” means nothing to me.
People make outrageous statements in the name of gedolim all the time. Like, I have written previously, the statement, as it is presented here on YWN is illogical. I dont own the sefer, and trying to find it is not high on my list of priorities right now, and even if I saw the sefer, anyone with an agenda can write anything they want.
I WILL write him my question, and hopefully in the next week or two I will have an answer.
Whatever the answer may be, it doesnt change the fact that I have a Rav, and he has NOT once sent me home from shul for my hat and jacket, OR told me go home and daven with your hat and jacket instead of here in shul without it.
