Shein;
1) Im talking about guys single not married, yes they tend to be slimmer.
2)For the same reason Rebbes and Rosh Yeshivas don’t dress up to date.
I havent seen a respectable rosh yeshiva with a pink tie …yet.
or an Armani Frak. I havent seen a Chosuva rebbe wearing Prada eye wear.
They are supposed to be Muram Me’ha’am. That doesn’t make it wrong to dress with it.
Some Rosh Yeshivas don’t use cell phones, at least in public. That doesn’t make it wrong to use one. It just doesn’t “Pass” for them.
(I’d like to argue with you that some rebbes wives as well as some Roshei Yeshivas spouses do very much dress in style.)
You obviously haven’t been around. Does it “Pass”? Not Really!
but I assure you (sadly) it is done. Not a majority, but you assume its unheard of.
Yes, In my opinion a Rebbe should look like hes from another century, another time. Maybe that’s just me.
