Getting dressed
- It’s important to keep a level of modesty all the time even at night. [1] Therefore, one shouldn’t reveal areas that are usually covered even when getting dressed, unless it’s necessary. [2]
- One should cover his head before getting dressed because the head is the most important part of the body and we want to show it the proper respect. [3]
- A talmid chacham should make sure that his clothes are in accordance with his importance and that he should be neat and clean and that his clothing is not torn or stained. [4]
- One should be careful not to put on two articles of clothing at once. [5]
- One should not wear his clothing inside-out, as this can also cause one to forget his torah. [6]
Shoes
- One should put the right shoe before his left shoe [7] However, he should tie the left shoelaces before the right ones. [8] # Women should also tie the left shoe first. [9]
- One should remove his left shoe before his right shoe. [10]
