Raincoats (daf Yomi) Yoma 53b

 

According to Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon R.Shlomo Miller Shlita, You may not wear raincoats in a רשות הרבים (No Eiruv)  while the attached hood is tucked inside its pocket. Yoma  53b                    The Gadol Hador Davened  for a raincoat   The Gemoro tells the story of R. Chanina Ben Dosa, who was walking on the street and the rain came down on him. He Davened to Hashem and said,” the whole world has comfort and Chanina is in pain.”   The מהרש"א asks how could it be, The Chosid R. Chanina B.D. would ask  Hashem to stop the rain for the whole world, for his personal comfort, even at the expense of the rest of the world.   The בן יהוידע  (Ben Ish Chai) answers," all he asked from  Hashem was, he should manage to find a coat to protect him from the rain. However, Hashem stopped the rain instead, לכבוד R.Ch.B.D."
