Question to the oilam: where in EY (Jlem pref, but BB also ok), can I buy a white, or nearly white, bekishe or kaftan?(Basically something more substantial than a regular white kittel, but that general idea.)
My shver has recently taken on the minhag of wearing white for shabbos, and we wanted to buy him a gift. He’ll be wearing it in EY, so I guess something lightweight. He’s sefardi rather than chassidic, so it’s the white bit that’s important, not any particular pattern.
If you know names / addresses of stores that might carry this sort of thing, it will be much appreciated!
Procure for him a white suit at Portabella Clothing stores. It will work just fine as far as Kabbalistic issues of white & not black clothing for Shabbos goes.
Based on Kabboloh:- No-one should be wearing black on Shabbos, as this is connected to Saturn>>Saturday which is a black Avodo Zoro, which according to Kabbolo will end up sending one to Gehinnom for wearing black on Saturday. …. If anything, one should Davka wear 4 white items on Shabbos {to do with letters in haShem’s Yud-Kay-Vov-Kay Name}. Other than these 4 white items, any color other than black is fine for the rest of one’s Shabbos attire.
Hence this problem of black clothing wouldn’t apply to a weekday Yom Tov.
Maybe that’s why some people are Makpid not to wear a hat and jacket.
Go & campaign in the upcoming elections clad White bekishe / kaftan and you shall surely win many extra votes.
how is saturn a black avoda zara?
Because Saturn’s color is black.
