[Avodah] Significance of Garments (was Tznius)

[Micha Berger]

I wrote four blog entries on how we relate to clothing:

(available in a later version at
<http://www.aishdas.org/mesukim/5764/shelach.pdf>)
    RSRH on the primary colors, the numbers 6, 7 and 8, and the meaning
    of tzitzis. Mostly from Collected Writings vol III.

http://www.aishdas.org/asp/2005/06/ki-arumim-heim.shtml
    In the difference between beged and kesus, and between "vehanachash
    hayah arum" and the end of the pereq "ki arumim heim". Also, the
    kusenos or of Adam and Chava and the kusones of the kohein.

    I argue that HQBH didn't clothe their nudity for tzeni'us reasons,
    but gave them a uniform and a purpose.

    Combining the previous two to compare putting tzitzis on kanfei
    bigdeikhem (Bamidbar) and putting gedilim on arba qanfos kesusekha
    (Devarim).

    Quoting CR Lord J Sacks who makes a point similar to my previous post.

Tir'u baTov!
