Only Chasidim Are Allowed-

Shabbos Chazon, only Chasidim are allowed to - ???

Halacha v’lo l’ma’aseh

                                                       ONLY CHASIDIM ARE ALLOWED

The Rema (O.Ch. 551: 1) writes, Shabbos Chazon you  must wear weekday clothes (except the shirt)

The Aruch Hashulchan (551: 11)  writes ,today we do change to Bigdei Shabbos. They were matir

 wearing  Bigdei Shabbos, otherwise you  will be showing Aveilus Befarhesya(public) on Shabbos .

Even though the Rema  knew of Aveilus Befarhesya ,  he  wouldn’t  allow wearing Bigdei

Shabbos because, in the times of the Rema the style of dress between Shabbos  and weekday  were

similar. By wearing weekday clothes there is no Aveilus Befarhesya.

When they started wearing Bekeshes and Shtreimels on Shabbos, they were matir  to

wear Bigdei Shabbos, otherwise it would be Aveilus Befarhesya..

According to the A.H. ,the Heter of wearing Bigdei Shabbos is only for Chasidim who wear

on Shabbos Shtreimels and Bekeshes. Those who wear suits  and hats on Shabbos should wear

 their weekday suit  and hat.

Torah Trivia-Nusach Sefard

Nusach Sefard doesn’t tolerate people who do this. People who do so are not worthy

to daven Nusach Sefard. ??????

 SILK BEKESHES

Shu”t  Chasam Sofer  (O.Ch. 15b-16 ) The Shoel asks the Chasam Sofer , People

who wear woolen clothing, if  they are allowed to serve as a Shliach Tzibur. The reason for not

allowing, is because Nusach Sefard doesn’t tolerate people who wear woolen clothing. People

 who do so are not worthy to daven Nusach Sefard.

In Teshuvah # 15  the Ch. S. seems to ridicule this statement. He claims, even if the chumra comes

from not wanting to be nichshal in Shatnez, it doesn’t make sense to differentiate between

Nusach Ashkenaz and Sefard.

In Teshuva 16 , Although The Ch. S. still  disagrees with the Shoel , he  takes him more seriously,

 being the Yismach Moishe confirmed , the  disallowing  of a Shlaich Tzibbur who wears wool

 ( to daven Nusach Sefard).

Most Chasidic Rebbes and some Chasidim wear silk   Bekeshes for this reason . 

It is possible, this Minhag originated  by a *Gadol  who made  a statement, " people

 who daven Nusach Sefard don’t wear wool clothing". He was referring to Sefardim who reside

in warm countries.  All he   was   trying to say, was  a fact,  sefardim in warm climate

countries don’t wear wool.  (they have an advantage not to be nichshal in Shatnez). He never

 meant to say , davenening  Nusach Sefard requires one not to wear wool clothing.
