<p>Lerkin, I don’t know. My childhood going to an orthodox synagogue. </p>

<p>I was reading online proper dressware and the posters were telling everybody to wear white.</p>

22

<p>Pink shirts are fine for a Bar Mitzvah. Have fun!</p>

23

<p>Thanks…</p>

24

<p>A navy tie with pink accents (for example, a diagonally striped navy and pink tie or a navy with pink dots tie) will complement your navy, pinstriped suit and pink shirt better rather than a red tie.</p>

<p>But as you said it’s too late to go shopping or rummage through your closet so just enjoy yourself at the party.</p>

25

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>Next time.</p>

<p>College Confidential really does address everything, doesn’t it.</p>

27

<p>The main thing is to honor God and show respect in the synagogue. After the ceremony go to the polo. Have fun.</p>

28

<p>I was counting on it and I wasn’t disappointed.</p>

<p>Thanks to everybody.</p>

<p>Leave the bacon, wear the shirt.</p>

<p>I like a pink tie.</p>

<p>Isn’t there an abomination section in Leviticus about pink shirts on the Sabbath?</p>

<p>I like the first one on the third line.</p>

<p>This is what I really like:</p>

<p>It goes with all my gray sweaters.</p>

<p>Pink is great for shirts. No piggies.</p>

<p>Kippah (headcovering) is optional in some synagogues, but if you wear one that is offered, you’re wise to bring your own bobby pin so you don’t have to balance it on your keppe (head) for hours.</p>

<p>If you have precious little hair to hold the bobby pin, apply bubble gum (pink will match your shirt).</p>

<p>I hope you’ll consider a polka dot bowtie. So GQ for DS</p>

<p>PS DS, did you hear about Elba Esther Gordillo? You should google her. And perhaps join my team! :)</p>

<p>Sure enough, pink occurs only once in the Torah, in Leviticus (as expected, 13:18) to describe leprosy sores.</p>

<p>There is an entire section of the Mishnah devoted to Leviticus 13 - “Tzaraath”. You might consider it before wearing the pink shirt, especially if you have bald spots.</p>

<p>Pink is considered a spiritual affliction.</p>

34

<p>xiggi, I googled Elba, but do not understand the connection.</p>

<p>I would be fine with a pink shirt, not that my opinion matters much.</p>

35

<p>You guys are cracking me up. </p>

<p>Well mini, I am definitely going to wear pink now. </p>

<p>I googled Elba. </p>

<p>I can do without bacon.</p>

<p>I am not a bow tie person. I am a no tie person. </p>

<p>I am very casual.</p>

<p>I need a bobby pin. My hair is longer than usual.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Now THAT is TMI. LOL</p>

37

<p>What is the Parshah this Saturday? They may be talking about you…;)</p>

38

<p>Momof3… Lol. </p>

<p>Bookworm, I appreciate your opinion.</p>

<p>Mini, I think it is appropriate that my response to your post is “OMG”.</p>

<p>According to the Talmud, there are seven possible reasons for the pink:</p>

<pre><code>an evil tongue (malicious gossip)
murder
a vain oath
illicit sexual intercourse
pride
theft
miserly behavior
</code></pre>

<p>So instead of a scarlet letter, go ahead and wear a pink shirt; see if I care!</p>

<p>DS, Elba had a great sense of fashion. And the money to fuel her style. Too bad it all came from the pockets of her members. To the tune of several hundred million dollars. There was no direct connection. I just wanted you to know! :)</p>
