A “bochur day” at Oholei Torah’s eighth grade offered the boys a chance to improve their dress to be in accordance with Halacha and the way chassidim traditionally dress.
Held at the Tory Avenue location, “bochur day” featured various vendors, each servicing an item of clothing or tashmishei kedusha. Not just offering sales, the vendors helped the boys make sure their dress was in a chassidishe manner, making the boys into bochurim.
Vendors included Troy Organic Cleaners, who had a tailor on-site to add a button to jackets, allowing the bochurim to close them right over left; Belissimo, who were offering hat steaming and cleaning; and glasses fixing and straightening by See View Optical.
Also offered were a tefillin tune-up by Machon Stam, tzitzis check and fix by Eliyahu Ezagui, and a self shoe clean station.
Tzitzis bendels, yarmulkas, the new Yiddish Siddur and other bochur items were offered for sale by Merkaz Stam.
Minhag Yisrael is that buttons are done right on top of left.
Such shirts are readily available in Boro Park and Willy. Why not here?
Suits are also available with right over left. Here in Crown Heights? Maybe, but the hidur is to go by the answer the Rebbe once gave a batlan who asked what should he do, his suit is (single-breasted left over right. Good for the batlan way back when, but why is this messy style so popular here?
This is amazing.
I would love to see it spread to other grades and yeshivah.
