Dovid Responded:
> There is a halacha that men should wear hats when they daven as a sign of

Is Dovid saying that one is visiting or standing before G-d only during
prayer??
Dovid Continues:
>The wearing of "black" in particular as well as wearing it in the street
>and all over is a custom that has grown from different societies.
Dovid hasn't explained why the color black in particular was selected.
Dovid Continues:
> My Rosh Hayishiva once explained to me the wearing of a hat today even
> though no one else in society wears one in this manner:
Is Dovid sure about that? What about the turbans that are worn by the
Sikhs, and the kafiahs that are worn by the Arabs?
Dovid Continues:
> almost all people who wear uniforms i.e. police, fire baseball players
> etc., have a hat as part of their uniform; So too, Bnei Torah have a
> uniform and it includes the wearing of a hat.
Once again is Dovid sure that almost all people who wear uniforms have a
hat as part of their uniforms or is this something else Dovid has accepted
from his Rosh Hayishiva on faith? What about the hundreds of millions of
business people all over the world that wear a suit, dress shoes, a dress
shirt, and a tie to work as part of their uniform?
