[Avodah] Shabbat Mincha ? No Ties

[Micha Berger]

On Hirhurim, I suggested a "creative" answer and a balebatishe one I
found more plausible.

1- In the Y-mi, a qesher shel qayama is any knot that can't be taken out
with just one hand and outlasts the end of Shabbos. This makes putting on
shoes okay (assuming you don't tie a "double bow") -- a bow can be pulled
out with one hand. But ending Shabbos with a tie on would be problematic.

2- However, what I really think happened is that enough people overslept
and then had to run to minchah for it to become normal to show up for
shul after cutting corners dressing up for minchah.

Tir'u baTov!
