Reply To: Is It Tzniyus For Boys To Wear Shorts

Far east: The Mishnah in Megilah says that one who wears shorts may not Daven for the Amud (well, one P’shat in the Mishnah that seems to be brought down L’halacha says that, at least). It says nothing about Davening or about being in Shul in shorts. There is definitely a lack of “Hikon Likras Elokecha Yisrael” in wearing shorts for Davening, but Tzarich Iyun if that should outweigh the Ma’aleh of T’filah B’tzibbur.
