    DY: funny that a non-Halacha related article of clothing is so ubiquitous and even defines halachically meticulous communities by said clothing (‘black hat’ communities)?

    rational frummie – virtually every gadol wears some kind of black hat or strimel.

    Rf, it would have to be that way. Tzitzis can’t define a specific frum community precisely because it is halachic, so all from communities wear them.

    As another example, Dati Leumi communities, even those which are meticulous in Halacha, define themselves (to borrow your term) by wearing kippot srugot, though the color and material of a kippah is non halachic.

    DY: Your point stands, but it is much more common to find “black hatters” accepted in Srugi communities and not vice versa, especially in Eretz Yisrael.

    It’s not what’s on your head that means anything. It’s what’s in your head that counts.

    “Yet Rav Chaim Kannievsky says it’s better to daven biyechidus then without a hat and jacket”

    “I still don’t believe R’ Chaim said that. And if he did, he meant in a community where not wearing a hat and jacket would be considered not being properly dressed for Davening. He didn’t mean somewhere where not wearing a hat is considered tolerable/acceptable.”

    This doesn’t necessarily mean that your chiluk is not true – I’m just giving the source that R’ Chaim Kanievski said it.

    I got rejected from some yeshiva not going to mention but mainly because I did not wear a hat for the faher. I gave a wild chaburah and did very well but because of this ‘HAT’ I got rejected , people have to look beyond the hat these days. There are so many bums I know who would never take off their hat and don’t know a famous Rambam or how to lein up a gemara and are just baal gaayvos for no reason. This whole situation has to be fixed somehow BH

    mordern: I refuse to believe that R’ Avigdor Miller claimed that a social statement (with potential Halachic Nafka Minos) is as important as being M’kayeim one of the most important Aseis D’oraisa (which makes you a M’kayeim Asei B’gufo).

    Did he say that you have to say shecheyanu for doing a mitzvah for the first time?

    (Agav, is there any particular reason why people don’t wear hats before their Bar Mitzvah?)
