This discussion has elicited over 100 comments so far and every few weeks the discussion repeats itself. Perhaps wearing the white shirt/black hat is an example of a tradition in the making. Many of us are old enough to remember wearing colored shirts to yeshiva and our fathers wearing gray or brown fedoras to shul, and colored shirts during the week. Come to think of it, the white shirt/black hat may not even meet the definition of a tradition just yet. It is possible that all this discussion is being generated by those of us wondering how this new “tradition” came to be.
